I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bed Friends Poshtel in Chiang Rai, Thailand, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. Let me break down my stay for you.
First and foremost, one of the highlights of this poshtel is its convenient location. Finding delicious food options in the neighborhood was incredibly easy, which is a must for any traveler. Additionally, the fact that it was just a 4-minute walk to a laundry facility was a huge convenience, especially for those of us on extended trips.
The poshtel also offers tours right from its location, which is a great way to explore the beautiful surroundings of Chiang Rai. Furthermore, they have a coworking space, which I found extremely useful. I used it multiple times to complete my online school work, and having a quiet space when needed was a real plus.
Now, onto the room. I stayed in a small room, and while it was cozy, I did encounter a minor issue with the air conditioning not working properly. However, I suspect that this may have been due to user error, so I wouldn't hold it against the establishment.
One aspect that could use some improvement is the signage regarding restroom facilities. It would be helpful if there were clearer indications of which gender should use the showers and toilets. I had a slightly amusing but potentially awkward encounter when I found a man getting out of the shower in the women's restroom. While it didn't upset me, I believe better signage could prevent such incidents from occurring.
On a positive note, the bathrooms and eating areas were consistently clean during my stay, which is always appreciated.
One of the standout features of Bed Friends Poshtel was the friendly staff. They were always ready to assist and make my stay comfortable.
Despite a minor hiccup with the AC and a signage issue, I would definitely consider staying at Bed Friends Poshtel again in the future. The convenience of the location, availability of tours, and the presence of a coworking space made my stay enjoyable, and the welcoming staff added to the overall positive experience.
Very Good
