They're eager to recommend great places to visit all over Chiang Rai and they take great care to make sure you have a comfortable stay * Great location: It's walking distance from the Central Plaza, 5 minutes away from the night bazaar and clock tower by bike, and conveniently nearby enough to most of the well known temples. We honestly don't have anything negative to say about our stay. It was fantastic and we would probably stay here again if we ever get a chance to come back to Chiang Rai.

All rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. The rooms are fitted with air conditioning, and some units at BED Friends Poshtel have a terrace. At the accommodation rooms are equipped with bed linen and towels. This was my first time staying at a hostel, so I was a little apprehensive. But the moment I reached Bed Friends Poshtel, all my worries were gone. The staff were so helpful and nice. Front desk people are pretty fluent in English, so no communication issues. The other staff are also very helpful. The location was great, only a few minutes walk from the old bus station and the night market. The clock tower is also at an walking distance . There are many restaurants nearby, along with a great tea shop (if that's your thing)and many coffee shops, cocktail bars and weed shops. It's perfect for introverts who want an affordable accommodation while keeping their privacy. Everything was neat and clean, and the staff will immediately take care of things if you have any complaints. I highly recommend it, and will definitely stay here when I visit Chiang Rai again.
