Nakaraj Princess Chiang Rai
Compare prices
Nakaraj Princess Chiang Rai is a characterful hotel on Srikerd Road that stands out less for its facilities and more for the warmth of its hospitality and the value it delivers. Rooms are notably spacious and well-maintained, featuring comfortable beds and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. The property carries a quirky, rustic charm that guests consistently appreciate, and the owner and staff are frequently praised for their attentiveness — including hands-on touches like helping guests carry heavy luggage.
The hotel's location is one of its strongest practical assets. It sits within walking distance of the Chiang Rai Night Market and Walking Street, placing guests close to some of the city's most popular evening attractions without putting them in the middle of street noise. Free breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking are included, adding solid everyday value for both leisure and independent travellers.
A few minor considerations are worth noting: water pressure can occasionally be inconsistent, and the property is best understood as a charming, well-priced guesthouse-style hotel rather than a full-service luxury resort. Booking directly through the hotel's own website may offer the best available rates. The hotel operates around the clock, making it straightforward for guests arriving on early or late flights into Chiang Rai.

Reviews from Google
The rooms are very spacious and clean, with extremely comfortable beds. The hotel is centrally located but away from street noise, ensuring a peaceful stay. The staff is kind and attentive to every need. On our last day, we had an early departure, and they kindly prepared a breakfast for us to take away. The hotel's decor is quite eccentric and definitely worth experiencing.
Rustic bunglow vibes with superb location. Walking distance to the night market and walking street (a must do!). Breakfast was okay and water pressure was off sometimes but the staff are amazing.
Friendliest staff I have encountered at a hotel in Thailand, even offered to take our big luggage upstairs, although it had close to 20kg. It looks interesting and I liked that there was a clothes iron and a ironing board in the room. I have to say that it was quite dusty and a musty smell as soon as you got in the room. 7 One of the curtains was ripped, the towels smelled like they were freshly washed but they looked so old and used. On the ceiling on top of the bed there was some spider web. The bathroom needs renovating, as it looks and feels really old, shower curtain has mouldy spots on it.
