B2 Chiang Rai Boutique & Budget Hotel is the budget pick for travellers who want to be in the centre. It has 88 rooms, an elevator, free self parking and free WiFi, and the hotel notes free bottled water and toiletries. It is a simple, modern hotel on Baanpa Pragarn Road, in the city centre. The Chiang Rai Clock Tower is a seven-minute walk, the Saturday walking street about eight minutes and the night bazaar about 12. It suits budget-minded couples, solo travellers and anyone driving, because parking is free.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Tambon Wiang, in the city centre. The hotel lists the clock tower at a seven-minute walk, the Saturday Walking Street Market at eight minutes, Wat Phra Kaew at ten minutes and the night bazaar at 12 minutes. Chiang Rai International Airport is about a 20-minute drive away. For the White Temple, Blue Temple and Baan Dam, hire a driver or use ride-hailing.
The rooms
Expect clean, simple rooms with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a refrigerator and a desk. It is a budget hotel, so expect function over frills. There is an elevator and a 24-hour front desk, and luggage storage is available if you arrive early or leave late.
Good to know
Breakfast is not mentioned, so check your rate before you arrive, and plan to eat at the nearby cafes or the night bazaar. There is no pool listed. Parking is free, which is a real advantage for drivers visiting the mountain sights. It is a sensible pick for anyone who prefers to spend on experiences rather than on a room.
The location suits short stays of one to three nights: leave your bags at the front desk on the last morning, walk to the clock tower for coffee and then catch a taxi to the airport or bus station. Travellers arriving late can rely on the 24-hour front desk, and a free bottle of water in the room is a small but welcome touch after a hot day of temples.
