About BED Friends Poshtel
BED Friends Poshtel occupies a central position on Phaholyothin Road, placing guests within easy walking distance of Chiang Rai's night bazaar, bus station, and several temples. The poshtel format bridges the gap between budget hostels and mid-range hotels, offering clean, comfortable rooms that appeal to solo travelers and small groups who want reliable quality without paying full hotel prices.
The atmosphere leans quiet and relaxed rather than social, making it a good fit for travelers who prioritize rest over a party scene. A rooftop garden provides a calm space to unwind, and a simple breakfast of coffee, tea, toast, and eggs is included each morning. Rooms are consistently described by guests as clean and comfortable, and the reception staff receive particular praise for being helpful and welcoming. Bike rentals are available nearby, giving guests a practical option for exploring the city and surrounding area independently.

Reviews from Google
Lovely hostel in the middle of Chiang Rai within walking distance of several temples, the night bazar and the bus station. There are also plenty of bike rentals nearby. The room was comfortable and the shared bathroom was very clean. They also offer free breakfast on the second floor, and there's also a rooftop area to relax and enjoy the view. The staff are very kind and helpful, making the overall experience feel welcoming.
Great place to stay on a budget! Bathrooms were super clean. Water was a little cold though. Staff were super helpful and friendly especially the young girl at reception!! Can get a tiny bit noisy in the evening as there is a bar across the road but nothing too bad.
Very clean and cozy place. Rooftop garden is nice and quiet. Reasonable price. Highly recommended. Very centrally located near bus station and night bazar

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
