Centara Hotel & Convention Centre Udon Thani Hotel, Udonthani

Udon Thani does not have a very high end hotel, but once the renovations are completed at the Chareonsri Grand (going to be Centara) it will stand out. For now, it is on par with the Ban Chiang - nice, but somewhat dated and in need of a fresh look. The entrance to the hotel is very impressive and the inner atrium eliminates the classic long closed hallways of most hotels. The service was excellent: when we arrived the TV was not working (bad cable) and after asking once, it was fixed right away. Didn't get a chance to use the pool or other facilities, but the breakfast was good and the restaurant was bright and open. On the down side, the room was much smaller than the one we had at the Ban Chiang and the bed was very hard, unlike the comfortable one at the Ban Chiang. I'm sure all this will change after the Centara fully renovates, but I would still recommend this hotel especially for its proximity to the Central Plaza mall.

Good value hotel. Ideal location near to all nightlife. Service reasonable. Breakfast quite good. All in all probably the best location and value in Udon.

I have visited friends staying in this hotel but this is my first stay. I enjoyed the experience and is great value for money. Because of the booking problem with Agoda my king bed request could not be met on the first night but they were very apologetic. Centrally located next to a shopping mall offers greater variety in eating establishments. The open lobby is spacious and inviting. I will stay at this hotel again.
