B2 Chiang Rai Phahonyothin Boutique & Budget Hotel

The staff are very nice, good-looking, friendly, and polite with great service. The building looks a bit old, but the room is clean and well maintained. If there’s any issue, you can contact the staff anytime. Sometimes they reply on LINE a bit slowly, but it’s understandable since they may be helping other guests. There’s no hair dryer in the room, but you can borrow one from the front desk. Before staying, I read some reviews and was a little scared about ghosts 😅 but luckily I didn’t experience anything lol. The price was a bit higher than expected, but after asking the staff, they explained that prices vary by day and it was high season during my stay 😄

Good location amongst many bars. Old building though, the worse amongst all other B2 hotels i’ve stayed in other provinces. Room 415. Deposit ฿500. Room was ฿860. Bed is hard, pillow seem like it’s not been changed for 10 years, the fiber in the pillow is broken. Bathroom was horrible, sink is bad, water heater isn’t warm. Huge carpark but no parking lot at night.

The staff themselves are very nice and friendly. The hotel, despite being haunted and looking a bit abandoned, has decent and fairly spacious rooms for this price. However, the whole experience is spoiled by the terrible noise in the mornings and the lack of soundproofing. It was impossible to have a good sleep here. From 8am in the morning staff started making very loud noise, dropping things on the floor, banging, and talking very loudly. On top of that, the rooms have very thin walls and doors, and you can hear it all as if it was happening literally in your room. All the entrance doors to the rooms creak very loudly. When I was sitting in my room, I heard a door creak and turned around because I thought someone had opened mine, but in fact, it was the sound of the doors opening in the next room. You'll hear absolutely every step and sound your neighbor makes. This hotel is in the same price category as One Budget but One Budget is much more new and comfortable.
