Huglampang Boutique Hotel — a small Old Town boutique stay in Lampang you can walk to Kad Kong Ta from, at unbeatable value, with balcony rooms and a rooftop terrace
Picture a small three-storey boutique hotel tucked into Lampang's Old Town, a few minutes' walk from the Kad Kong Ta walking street, with clean rooms that each have a private balcony, a rooftop where you can watch the sunset, and rates that start in the low hundreds of baht — that is Huglampang Boutique Hotel. Guests consistently praise its walk-to-Kad-Kong-Ta location, clean rooms and rare value. It is a small bicycle-themed boutique hotel in the Hua Wiang district at the heart of the Old Town, from approx. ฿650/night · score 8.8 from real guest reviews, and ranked #4 of 32 specialty stays in Lampang on Tripadvisor.
Huglampang Boutique Hotel sits on Thipchang Road in Hua Wiang, Mueang Lampang, right in the heart of the Old Town. The thing guests mention most is the location — about 300m (a 5-minute walk) to the Kad Kong Ta walking street, with old temples and Wang riverside restaurants all within strolling distance. It is a small three-storey boutique hotel decorated around a bicycle theme, and it is a frequent pick for travellers who want to stay in the Old Town so they can wander Kad Kong Ta in the evening and soak up the old wooden-shophouse atmosphere — step out the door and food and sights are right there.
What guests praise most consistently is the clean rooms and how much you get for the price. Many reviews say the rooms are larger than expected for a few hundred baht, clean, comfortable to sleep in, and that every room has its own private balcony. Rooms are air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV, fridge, kettle, a long work desk, and a bathroom that many describe as big with a rain shower. They are simple, tidy boutique rooms that feel fresh and private — and getting this kind of quality at this price in the middle of Lampang's Old Town stands out.
"Clean room, bigger than I expected, with its own balcony. You can head up to the rooftop for the sunset, and Kad Kong Ta is a short walk away — all for just over six hundred baht. Far better value than I'd hoped."
Another thing that sets Huglampang apart from similarly priced stays is the rooftop view and the small thoughtful touches. There is a rooftop where you can sit and watch the sunset over the Old Town. Free bikes are available to borrow for exploring the city. Free coffee and snacks are provided (though there is no breakfast). There is free parking on site, a 24-hour front desk and free Wi-Fi. The staff are a recurring highlight — many reviews describe the owner and team as warm, friendly and genuinely helpful.
Location is the main advantage for anyone exploring Lampang's Old Town. You are right in the Kad Kong Ta district, within walking distance of the walking street, old temples, cafes and Wang riverside restaurants. It is a short drive to Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao Suchadaram and the in-town sights, and it works well as a base before driving on to Wat Phra That Lampang Luang about 18km away or continuing to Chiang Mai. In the cool season (November–February), Lampang's high season, a small hotel like this fills up fast because it only has a handful of rooms, so book ahead.
To be honest, being a small hotel in an older building comes with a few trade-offs. The one that comes up most in reviews is that this three-storey building has no lift, so you climb the stairs — worth keeping in mind if you have heavy luggage or find stairs difficult. Some ground-floor or inner rooms are described as fairly dark and cold. Parking is mostly on the street in front of the hotel, which is limited, and the Old Town lanes are narrow, so finding the entrance for the first time can be a little confusing.
Another thing to know is that there is no breakfast and the staff don't speak much English. You only get free coffee and snacks, so if you want a proper breakfast you'll head out to one of the many spots around Kad Kong Ta. On the language side, some international guests say communication takes a little effort, but the staff try hard to help. Overall this is a stay built around its walk-to-Kad-Kong-Ta location, clean balcony rooms, rooftop views and value — exactly what most people looking to sleep in the Old Town on a budget are after.
In short, Huglampang Boutique Hotel suits travellers who want to stay in the heart of Lampang's Old Town, walk to Kad Kong Ta, in a clean boutique room at a budget price. If you're after a big hotel with a lift, a buffet breakfast, or a riverside resort with a pool, this isn't it. But if what you want is a walkable Old Town base, clean rooms with balconies, a rooftop to sit on, a bike to ride and rates in the low hundreds — it delivers real value.
A tip from following the reviews here: ask for an upper-floor room with a balcony and good light if you want a bright, un-stuffy room, since some ground-floor rooms run dark, and be ready for the stairs as there is no lift. Head up to the rooftop in the evening — it's the sunset spot guests love most. In the cool season book ahead, as rooms are few and fill quickly, and always compare prices across a few platforms before booking.
