I found the room to be decently clean, bathroom was not super clean but was barely acceptable. I turned the air conditioner on and it was super noisy. Luckily the overhead fan works well and it is plenty cold at night. My biggest issue is a lack of sound insulation, as I could hear the street noise, breakfast noise, and even worse my neighbor using the toilet...
I will look elsewhere next time as there are plenty of choices in this town.

I stayed there for 1 night. It looks good on first glance, cool garden, you have breakfast in the morning, walking distance to the night market and the old bus station. The main problem was that the bathroom was dirty and my friend got bitten by something during the night. On the other hand the staff is great, but there are way better places in Ching Rai to stay in.
Stayed overnight at the Golden Triangle Inn on my way to Chiang Khong and Huay Xai and was very pleased with the pleasant service, wifi and location. A short walk from the fruit market and the night market it is also within minutes of the bus station, a variety of restaurants and night clubs. The room was clean and the AC and fans worked. The bathroom was small but also clean. Nice tropical gardens and good value for money.
After having read positive reviews on trip advisor and Frommers, booked into this quaint hotel. Room is nice size, however the room had an overwhelming smell of mildew and stale cigarette smoke. also, the bathroom was filthy - mold in the grouting of the shower and in all corners of the room. was also surprised when I brushed my teeth that the sink does not drain directly into the sewer system, rather it drains onto the floor and eventually flows into the floor drain. We onlyv took the room for one night. Went for a walk around Chiang Rai of a couple of hours. when we returned to the room, my wife laid down to have a nap and discovered a gecko under her pillow. we decided to leave and look for other accommodations. Bottom line, I would never stay here again.
Our medical mission team uses this hotel every even year as our "home base". The rooms are clean and "made up" when we return from our workday in the outlying areas. Restaurants are near-by along with excellent food from the street vendors. An added benefit is the night bazaar during the week along with the special walking bazaar on Saturday nights just one street behind the hotel.
I pickd this hotel randomly out of the lonely planet guide after flying into Chiang Rai with the intent of seeing the town for one day before heading to Chiang Mai. A taxi deposited me onto the grounds of the Golden Triangle Inn. I hadn't read too much about it so didn't know really what to expect, other than it was a mid-priced type accommodation. I found a very Thai style property that was really a collection of buildings in a garden type setting. It was reasonably picturesque and I found the proprietor to be very welcoming and helpful. The cost including breakfast was fairly inexpensive and I prefer would normally prefer somewthing a little more comfortable but I thought it would be adequate for a night.
The rooms were ok, clean enough to sleep in although quite spartan, a good place to stay for those who like the idea of living like a local, or who are on a budget. There is free Wi-Fi, although I had trouble using this from inside my room, the hotel is actually quite dark at night with the inevitable mosquitoes you find in such gardens, not a great place if you tend to stay up late at night.
The hotel is a short walk to the centre of town which is the most attractive feature. The proprietor suggested numerous activities I could do in Chiang Rai, which is helpful if your intention is to spend a while here. Other travellers told me the Hill tribe tours in Chiang Rai are more authentic and less commercial than those offered in Chiang Mai though I cannot speak from experience.
