About 5ive Homestay, Chiang Rai
Located on Phaholyothin Road in the heart of Chiang Rai, 5ive Homestay offers affordable accommodation with a surprisingly high level of comfort. The rooms are tastefully decorated and well-maintained, and some feature balconies for added enjoyment. Although it's a hostel with shared bathrooms, the atmosphere is more reminiscent of a small guesthouse or boutique hotel, making it a great choice for travelers seeking good value without sacrificing cleanliness or a cozy ambiance.
Guests consistently praise the quality of the communal facilities, particularly the powerful showers, clean toilets, and well-maintained common areas that offer peace and privacy. The staff is especially commended for their friendliness and helpfulness, which contributes to a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to its central location, Chiang Rai's main attractions are within easy walking distance, making the hotel an ideal base for exploring the city and its surroundings.
Bookings can be made directly through the accommodation's online reservation system on their website. As it is a smaller, highly-rated property with a limited number of rooms, early booking is recommended, especially during the cooler months of the high season between November and February, when Chiang Rai experiences its highest tourist influx.

We spent three nights here and were completely satisfied. The rooms are very nice, spotlessly clean, and tastefully furnished – just like a proper hotel room. The shared bathroom was conveniently located and also very clean and tidy. There's a common room with tables and chairs, as well as a kettle, microwave, cutlery, dishes, etc. The lady at reception was very nice and extremely friendly. We highly recommend this accommodation! The only downside: The view from the window is completely blocked by a huge billboard, so hardly any natural light gets in.
We spent three nights here. It fully met our expectations: a lovely, clean, and spacious room with a pleasantly quiet air conditioner. The shared showers had good water pressure. The shared toilets and sinks were clean and well-maintained. The room was quiet upon our arrival, as there was only one other person present, which was very pleasant. It was a bit noisy outside due to the busy street, but that was a minor point. The staff was friendly, and the location is fantastic, right near 7-Eleven and the night market. Highly recommended!
A great place to stay in Chiang Rai. Nice rooms with everything you need, and clean shared bathrooms. I would definitely stay here again :)

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
