B2 Chiang Rai Boutique & Budget Hotel

4.5(3,331 reviews)

Located on Thanon Baanpa Pragarn Road in the heart of Chiang Rai, this budget property offers colourful rooms and suites at an accessible price point, with complimentary Wi-Fi included. Its central position is one of its strongest assets — the clock tower and night market are both within easy walking distance, making it a convenient base for exploring the city on foot. Parking is available on-site, which is a practical bonus for travellers arriving by car or joining day trips into the surrounding region. Prospective guests should go in with realistic expectations. Visitor reviews are mixed, with several guests raising concerns about room cleanliness, noise travelling between rooms, and the quality of front desk service. On the other hand, those who have had positive stays highlight the convenient location and decent room quality for the price. Noise between rooms appears to be a recurring issue, so light sleepers may want to consider requesting an upper floor or bringing earplugs. For those prioritising location and value over polish, this hotel can serve as a functional stopover in Chiang Rai. It is worth reading recent reviews before booking to get the most current picture of room and service standards, as experiences appear to vary. Booking directly through the hotel website at b2hotel.com may offer the best available rates and room selection.

Visitor Reviews

Great budget hotel just down from the clock tower. Lots of parking. Only issue is the inter room noise

Overall experience: Great location and great room, but the service is just okay. Pro(s): • It is walking distance to the night market, convenience store, and eating and drinking spots • The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable Con(s): • Idk if the receptionists were properly trained since they are not really warm and welcoming • You only get 2 free water bottles per day. 1 bottle of water succeeding that is THB 10 (not really much of a con)

Worst stay ever Dishonest staff and terrible room condition. have stayed in many budget hotels, but this is by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. I strongly recommend staying elsewhere. 1. Dishonest Pricing & Rude Service: I called 30 minutes before arrival and was quoted 830 THB. Upon arrival, the staff claimed the price had changed to 860 THB. When I mentioned the phone call, the receptionist rudely told me, 'Just book it online yourself then, maybe you'll get 830.' Unbelievable lack of professionalism. 2. Zero Soundproofing: The walls are paper-thin. I can hear every single thing from the neighboring room, even the sound of them clicking their light switches. It’s impossible to have any privacy or a quiet night's sleep. 3. Poor Maintenance: The room is dirty. The air conditioner compressor is extremely loud, making a constant rattling noise. To top it off, the TV is broken—it shows 'No Signal,' and I couldn't even turn it off with the remote. I had to physically unplug it just to get some darkness. Do yourself a favor and find another hotel in Chiang Rai. This place is poorly managed, dirty, and noisy. Not worth a single baht.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping

Haggle at Markets, Not Malls

Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.

Arrive Early or Late

Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.

Be Cautious with Tailors

Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
