Hotel Dengan Gim di Nong Khai, Thailand

Older hotel with many rooms and onsite meeting rooms for conferences. Rooms are well equipped with refrigerator, kettle, tv, coffee table and chairs. The Aircon controls are the old-fashioned dial on the wall type, which makes it a bit hard to adjust the temperature to the exact level of comfort, but the AC is cool and effective - even on a super hot day. The location is good, next to Lotus's and a short drive (or 15min walk) to the riverfront. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast buffet is included in the room rate, but the hot food variety is a bit limited, maybe because the hotel was not busy at all during our stay? The salad bar during the breakfast buffet is quite good though. Parking is a bit limited, especially during the day if there's a conference with many locals driving to the hotel.

Location/ about a 10–15-minute walk into town along a promenade on the banks of the Mekong or there is generally a tuk-tuk waiting outside the front of the hotel Room/ was comfortable enough with a fridge, safe and bathroom with walk-in shower but lacked finishing touches and attention to detail. Safe wasn’t working initially but soon rectified, only one chair on balcony for 2 people, bathroom door difficult to close, one key card for 2 people, house keeping not great, screws sticking out of walls etc etc Breakfast/ the best thing at this hotel is the food. Excellent buffet breakfast with really friendly service, served 6.30am to 10am, always plenty of it enjoyed either in the very nice breakfast room or outside on a terrace. Egg station cooking eggs to order 4 different ways. General/ lots of secure off-road parking down the side of the hotel and behind. The rooms are in 2 separate blocks adjacent to each other with pool containing fish and seating area between them. Check out the Sky bar on top of one of the 2 blocks. Opens at 3pm and serves good selection of food at reasonable prices with great views over the town, the Mekong and into Laos beyond, great for sunsets. Would I stay here again? Yes, due to location, breakfast and Sky bar

We travelled up to Nong Khai for the recent balloon Festival and had a room booked at the Royal Nakhara Hotel. As we drove in to the hotel car-park, we were impressed from the outside. Check-in was quick and easy and when we entered our allocated room, it was obvious that the décor and furnishings were a bit tired and dated - but not a problem. However, as we looked around at the room and amenities we noticed several things to disappoint us. First, we saw an enormous birds nest sat right on top of the aircon unit outside on the balcony. The balcony doors were locked (with no key) so we could not even go onto the balcony, but as the view from the balcony was of surrounding metal factory roofs, we had no great urge to go onto the balcony anyway. Walking around the room and bathroom we noticed quite a lot of long black hairs on the floor, obviously from the previous guests and when checking out the bathroom, noticed toothpaste stains and splashes all over the washbasin mirror above and, human defecation waste around the rim of the toilet basin. It was obvious that the room had not been cleaned to a sufficient standard for the next guests. We really did not feel comfortable to stay here and notified the front desk, where a member of the management team and the housekeeper came to check on our findings. After showing them what we were unhappy with, the two members of staff went into the bathroom to discuss it but we could hear them talking and were shocked to hear that they thought we were making a fuss over trivial things. We decided that we were not comfortable to stay in the hotel any longer and asked to cancel the booking and we would find an alternative hotel. The staff initially refused to cancel the booking, then agreed, but said we would need to wait 15-30 days to receive a refund, which was not acceptable, considering that payment had been made instantly when booking the room. After further discussion and upon our insistence, the hotel did refund us the cost of the room and we sought to find alternative accommodation. We have no problem with a room being tired or dated, but that is no excuse for it not to be clean also, and the attitude to our concerns we heard being discussed (”its just only this, its only that”) were simply not acceptable for a service industry facility.

Comfy bed, nice air conditioning, sparkling clean, nice staff. Otherwise no breakfast and not many extras. It is a bit difficult to get to the station (my TukTuk drove a hard bargain for 100BHT, probably justifiably given the distance) but for a night or so it is great value. If you plan to stay here for longer make sure you get the Grab app or similar in order to get around, if you do not have a car. Decent hot water....a rarity in a budget hotel (this is part of a chain of budget hotels and given the standards here I will be looking for this chain elsewhere).

One of the finest resort in Thailand! Beats the Failed Marriott Surawongse hands down in terms of Welcoming, Services from the Heart and Accommodating to guests needs! The breakfast is delicious and impressive. The owners are modest, friendly and great people! I stayed in the stand alone bungalow and exclusivity is fantastic! This is the true 5 stars hotel NOT the Marriott Surawongse!

預訂了酒店入住後有點驚喜，大堂裝飾很有當地特色，非常靚麗，房間寬敞，床是一大1.8一小1.4，設施齊全（冰箱，衣櫃，茶几，電視機櫃等），有露天游泳池，後院出門就是湄公河和沿河公路。特別是酒店老闆very nice, 看我們騎行很晚到店，主動開車帶我們去購物中心換匯，並帶到一個當地人的夜市吃東西。非常感謝酒店老闆和他中國朋友熱情有禮，我們感覺非常舒服，特別推薦。

There are no really good hotels in Nong Thai, sadly. However, as Nong Khai hotels go, this one rates above average. Pros: good air-conditioning, large bathroom, comfortable beds, good breakfast included, nice sized rooms, ample off street parking Cons: white leather furniture in rooms is worn and soiled (no leather cleaner in Nong Khai? How about a sponge and warm water/saap?), tv channels are very limited, ”city view” means looking at the building next door This place has potential, and you can tell it wants to be a good hotel, but it needs a facelift. Clean or replace the furnishings, and offer an English speaking news channel. It can be done. Just check out a couple of the hotels in Vientiane across the river!

PARK and POOL, If your going to stay at Nongkhai.....Then this resort is the place to stay, the pool and gardens are just beautiful, a tropical paradise. Walking distance to the lao boarder, hire a scooter from the hotel, short ride down the back street past local shops, cafes, massage shops down to walking street, the markets....to the mighty Mekong for the view & dinner etc....but OMG did mention the tropical paradise back at the resort. We had the best poolside villa...was what made it for us, staff always there for customers

Booked a room with lowest price. Got room 17. The Guesthouse is right in front of the riverside and next to the Walking Street. Old room with shared bathroom where hot water didn’t work. When I informed them, the lady immediately came to check. Will take time until they can fix that. I showered in another shared bathroom. The photo I posted is the area in front of the guesthouse. Very beautiful!

Grote kamer zeer schoon. De badruimte was hygiënisch en voldeed aan onze wensen oa regendouchkop. Het bed was niet te hard en niet te zacht. Geen gebruik gemaakt van de flatscreen tv (40 inch) Geen geluidsoverlast gehad van het uitgaanspubliek. We hadden een kamer aan de straatkant. Geen ontbijt maar wel gratis koffie en thee in de loungeruimte. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding.

เจ้าของน่ารัก❤️ พนักงานน่ารัก❤️ มีครบจบในที่เดียว มีคาเฟ่ มีห้องอาหาร อาหารอร่อยมากถึงมากที่สุด เตียงนอน ผ้าปูที่นอน ผ้าห่มดีมาก ห้องหอม แนะนำนะคะ👍👍👍 ใครไปหนองคายต้องแวะ ถ้าไม่แวะถือว่าคุณพลาด 🤣

Always a great place to stay, the staff are amazing, helping with ironing and washing my clothes, paid a little extra to stay late in the room (late check out) everything is good. A little bit out of town but still have deliveries, the cafe is also nice.
