Hotel berhampiran Wat Bampen Wihantham di Nong Khai

We stayed here for 3 night just after New Year. Hotel is in a good location next to Shopping Mall and a short walk to local market & Mekong River. A reasonable nightly rate with breakfast included. The receptionist was really helpful and efficient but the Hotel was obviously past its best not just because lack of guests / coffee shop etc due to covid .... in the room itself I can honestly say that the mattress on the bed was the worst and most uncomfortable of any hotel I have ever stayed at in my life ! very hard and lumpy probably the original from when hotel was built and I had bites from numerous bed bugs ! Lighting in the room was not bright enough just a couple of small yellow bulb wall lights - toilet had a job refilling at times but a nice powerful shower and breakfast was ok.

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).

Nice Hotel. Loved the Sky bar great views when the sun is setting Decent Breakfast good selection nice to eat breakfast outside next to the lovely Koi fish pond. No porter service but there are lifts so no problem. Bit of a walk into town but there is normally a tuk tuk waiting outside the hotel. Nice massage shop turn left outside the hotel first one you come to. Also a good market right behind the hotel. Food and drinks in the sky bar are also very reasonable prices. I would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

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.

Booked and paid with trip.com and got a last minute rate for a room for 2 for less than 700 Baht. Have stayed in another hotel in Nong Khai for 650 Baht with no breakfast and have viewed several other hotels/guesthouses of the same price, so to me this is the better deal where we can swim. The resort is old and outdated so bed sheets and stuff are old but the value is very good. Breakfast is a simple buffet so I could eat until full with 3 types of fresh fruits, salad, 7 types of foods, pork boiled rice, rice, etc. No boiler in room but guests can use the hot water pot at Reception. Aircon worked well. Glass windows at front. A small glass window at back. Shower room door is opened to outside so it takes up the space of the room. We ate lunch in the Cafe. A huge bowl of soup costs 120 Baht. Rice 20 Baht a dish. Both of us were so full with 160 Baht. Smiling Reception and other staff at the Cafe. Fast check in and fast check out. We booked the room and arrived by tuk tuk about half an hour later and they saw our prepaid booking. I other places we stayed, Reception sometimes asked for the payment since they didn’t notice that the bookings were paid for. I was very happy when I checked in here. They have swimsuits for rent at 60 Baht if you don’t bring yours. They have a weird notice saying you will be fined if you swim with not proper swimsuits. Normally we don’t see this notice in upscale resorts. From Nong Khai train station, cross the street, walk to the right into a small street where you see the resort signage. Turn left and walk for a few minutes. Park & Pool is on you right.

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.

Contemporary, convenient and comfortable is the ultra centrally located Klang Muang Hotel on Nong Khai City, Isaan, Thailand. Easy walk to water, as well as a plethora of; restaurants, temples, cafes, pubs, massage shops, spas and markets. A solid option for those seeking strong walk-ability (see my YouTube), as well as an extremely comfortable bed for a kip.

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!

We booked and paid with Agoda while on a Tuktuk. Arrived a few minutes later and they received our booking. Saw the price at Reception counter for daily rate which is lower than the price we paid with Agoda but not sure what type of room will be with that rate. Our room is nice. There’s a wooden base large enough to place 2 mattresses on. The aircon is noisy a bit. There’s a balcony which is nice. There are 2 free bottles of water in the refrigerator but no water boiler to make coffee. We need to go down to the Reception where they provide instant coffee and hot water. There’s a lift which is a plus when we have heavy luggage. Next to Lotus and shopping complex Asawann 1 where there’s a van to Udon Thani every hour.

We spent one night in a corner room (107) the room was fairly large with direct access to the pool. We are a family of two adults and three children and asked for an extra bed to be put in the room, on arrival we found a 2-inch thick mattress with a sheet laid on the floor beside one of the beds when we complained about it as we had been charged an extra 400 Baht for the extra bed a lady brought a bed base and put the mattress on it. The room we stayed in a couple of years before was 1,800 Baht before but now we were charged 3,500 Baht which I thought was a totally unreasonable price increase. When we stayed here before the pool had some tiles missing from it and I thought it was a hazard then, I assumed a couple of years later the problem would have been resolved but I was surprised to see It was actually worse, there were many tiles missing from the sides as well as the floor of the pool creating a substantial hazard to people using the pool. I, unfortunately, cut my toe on my left foot on the edge of a tile!! The breakfast is ok but missing western foods, and milk for coffee, they have only dried cream powder. Luckily I had some fresh milk in my room . All in all, I would say it is expensive and not really safe for kids to swim and I probably will not return until these problems have been resolved
