Loei hotels & accommodations

Phuphanam Resort is nestled amongst the gently rolling hills of the Phu Rua district in Thailand's northern province of Loei. It is about an hours drive from the Loei airport. There are about 75 rooms between the three low-rise buildings - the original stone and wooden structure and two later modern additions. The resort is situated on an expansive forested property, ...

I actually travelled with a friend and we found the staff (esp. El, Ying & Den) very nice, helpful & caring for their guests. The bed is so comfortable. The restaurant is not open for dinner but the staffs are very helpful and even suggested restaurants to dine with. And even before arrived, I asked for recommendations for places to visit around Loei and they gladly se...

Beautiful and Calm resort among nature. Easy to find by self drive with GPS. In the central part, flower garden is decorated. Next to the garden is a small lake where you are able to run or bike around. The separated restaurant building is the place where I tried dinner. The taste is impressive and price is reasonable. Breakfast set is plenty of quality and adequate fo...

Super Hotel,super Personal. Sauber,jeden Tag Top Zimmerreinigung,aircon sehr gut,konnte man super einstellen. Morgenessen super,gibt für jeden Geschmack etwas und wird auch abgewechselt. Sehr gepflegte Unterkunft,Palmen Blumen Swimmingpool. Werde diese Unterkunft weiterempfehlen und nächstes mal sofort wieder da buchen. War super,danke für die tolle Zeit im Au Place L...

It is worth the effort to travel to this resort- it is so beautiful and serene; the staff was among the best I have ever experienced in six different trips throughout Thailand, and the food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The town of Dan Sai is quite interesting and the people are quite friendly. The rooms are huge, furnished well, with terrific bathrooms. One of...

Rooms have a unique design, are large and everything is spotless. Location is very good, close to the best western restaurant in Loei and the market but it's very quiet. The owner even got to call me after I had checked out, because I had left my thongs there.

Clean and comfortable. Staff was not particularly engaged with customer service, but responded when asked . The restaurant is good, but travelers should know that it is not climate controlled. Winters are cool and chilly in Loei, so breakfast can be uncomfortably cold in the restaurant area.

The equipment was new and clean. Because there is no divider in the shower area, I am dissatisfied that the toilet and the washroom get wet after showering. Apart from that, the facilities were good. There was no mention from the staff about returning the deposit at the time of checkout. So I needed to return to the counter again later.

It should be said: Loei is a far-flung town that few travelers seem to visit. There's very little English spoken here, in the town and at the hotel. But Loei Village will do its best to make you feel welcome. They personally provided transportation for me to a nearby park, and even drove me to a night market afterward for food. Bicycles are available for rent, for free...

Parking is good but it took a few minutes to find someone who was understanding we wanted to check in and they just showed us to the room, they did not show us how things work or put on the air con etc, they also didn't ask for ID etc. The hotel is about 10 minutes from Phu Ruea proper and so is only good if with own transport. The hotel seems nice but lacks character...

In all my travels I have never come across such a homely and friendly place to stay. Upon arrival we were treated as if we were part of the family, The Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant and relaxing stay. This is most certainly a diamond in the rough for any couples of families wishing to escape the city and wind down. The l...

It was my first time to visit Loei city, small gate town to national parks and Chiang Khan. Staying Loei Huen Hao Hug Hotel was pretty comfortable. It made me understood that I did not have to look for many hotel in Loei so much if I choose this cozy nice hotel. I haven't compared some but this hotel is one of the best hotels in my travel days in Thailand. Staffs are v...

This is very nice "resort" in one of the most stunningly beautiful landscapes one can see, nestled within a national park. It's no reflection on the resort, but as elsewhere in Thailland rampant agricultural expansion mostly of sugar cane is being extended right up to park and protected area boundaries. This land use is totally incompatible with these natural landsca...

Through Agoda, we reserved a place in Loei called Muanmanee. I have to say that this place is definitely a nice place, although it was quite a challenge to find because it was hidden away into a small street. It is a bit of a walk to get to local restaurants around there. But the hotel provided bicycles free of charge, good wi-fi signal in every room, laundry service, ...

We booked that hotel on the way to Phu Kradeng for one nigth, we would have love to stay more. Beautifull on a great site that look like a small village. Nice little restaurant on place. Little bit far from Loei but i would still go back to visit around.

This resort has very clean and well-equipped rooms (TV, fridge, kettle, AC, etc.) surrounded by beautiful gardens. Nestled in the mountains of Loei, there are many country roads nearby for walking and / or cycling. The manager and his staff are all very friendly and helpful and able to advise on local beauty spots such as Wat Somdej Phu Ruea Ming Muang and Huai Krati...

All lodgings are a distance from phu kradueng mountain. Eateries/market/7-11 are a gd few km from Creek. Still, this is a great place to stay before/after u head up the mountain. Vast compounds, much effort go into maintaining landscaping. Wifi is strong. Good sized room, clean sheets. Host personally cooks western style breakfast for guests. And price is unbeatable. I...

For this price the room was very good. Clean and nicely maintained. restaurants, ATM and convenience stored can be found nearby. Not in the main city but it doesn't seem remote. For those who prefer hotels instead of resorts but still doesn't want to be in the main city this place is good.
Cheap places to stay in Loei

It is next to the bus station. Very clean hotel, wonderful helpful owners. The bed was softer then normal Thai bed, had American sized toilet. Ok water pressure and drainage. Nice bedding n pillows. If you need a place close to the airport in Loei or bus terminal and want a nice clean room. This place can not be beat. Good TV and Wifi and a phone in the room. On hit w...

Just the details without opinion - Easy to find, Very nice room for the price, Not big enough to be crowded, and just far enough from town that it was very quiet, BEAUTIFUL view of the night sky, but also near enough to town to be able to go in to find something to eat/shop if you need. My own opinion - The guy who runs this place could not have been more hospitable! ...

I chose this as the lowest room rate,so I don't expect much. The resort is on the main street, it' s 2 km from the main road ( LOEI- Phurua road). There is no shop, restaurant or market in walking distance. Need to go around by private car only. The old lady owner was olvery kind ,this is I like . Room is a bit narrow.

The equipment was new and clean. Because there is no divider in the shower area, I am dissatisfied that the toilet and the washroom get wet after showering. Apart from that, the facilities were good. There was no mention from the staff about returning the deposit at the time of checkout. So I needed to return to the counter again later.

Helpful staff. The rooms are clean and comfortable but suffer from wafer thin walls. Would have been an excellent stay if the next room was vacant but unfortunately it was occupied. If you don't mind listening to the next door guests talking and using the toilet then go ahead and book.

this is a nice enough place, located off the beaten track but convenient for people who want to experience one of thailand's loveliest and quietest provinces - loei. the property is on a main street, but is easy to overlook as you approach an intersection. it's small, just 6 rooms, and not fancy, but our room was spotless and the staff couldn't have been nicer. the roo...

Wished we'd booked a bungalow as our room was right next to reception area so can hear talking. Rooms are ok and clean but no eating facilities. It's behind a petrol station which has nice proper coffee. The town is nothing special, just a stopping off en route. The 2 ladies that work there are really sweet but don't speak English so was pretty difficult to check in....

Rooms have a unique design, are large and everything is spotless. Location is very good, close to the best western restaurant in Loei and the market but it's very quiet. The owner even got to call me after I had checked out, because I had left my thongs there.

Really great location. 150m from Phuloei Coffee, really near the bar areas too if you are looking to experience the local night scene (Bar Basic is by far the most popular hangout for young Thais, featuring competent cover bands playing popular Thai music). The only downside here is that the music bled into our room till past midnight. Room was perfect for its price, ...

This was a great little hotel. It's brand new (Dec 2014) so the rooms are great. (The beds are a little hard for my taste though.) The location is in a very small town 25 km outside of Loei city. But we were on the road just staying one night, so it worked out great for us. It's definitely a great value.

We were on our way to Luang Prabang by car, via the border crossing to Kentao. Wanted to stay close to the border rather then in Loei town. Found this on Agoda. Very pleased to find this. Lovelyview on sunset from our balcony. Friendlystaff, but contrary to the name, no bar or restaurant , except for breakfast facilies. But we found a restaurant with authentic Thai fo...

Spent New Year eve here. The hotel forded a view of fireworks and with windows closed was quiet enough. The location is very good, close to city center, next to a very nice park. The restaurant was okay, large and roomy. Food was limited for me as I am vegan. The rooms were clean, modern, comfortable with lots of hot water in shower and the A/ C cold. I would stay ther...

Clean and comfortable. Staff was not particularly engaged with customer service, but responded when asked . The restaurant is good, but travelers should know that it is not climate controlled. Winters are cool and chilly in Loei, so breakfast can be uncomfortably cold in the restaurant area.

I fell in love with this city. Amazing landscape, friendly people and charming town. Will be back soon.
Travel to Loei ?Plane from BKK or bus/taxi at the moment no train BUT i have been told that one is coming 2018? MOTOR BIKE HIRE well had to use google translate as english is not readily spoken here.
A small city with essential facilities available for visitors and a Big shopping/supermaret with cafes/eateries.
Like I said before it is a small city but doesn't have shopping malls. There are stores like Tesco to buy things if needed and also lots of smaller stores in the city centre.
Loei City is easy to get around, the people are friendly and the surrounding countryside is beautiful.
เป็นเมืองที่ผู้คนเป็นมิตร เงียบสงบ สะดวกต่อการขับรถไปเชียงคาน ภูเรือ และภูกระดึง เป็นจังหวัดที่เหมือนจังหวัดทางภาคเหนือ มากกว่าเป็นจังหวัดทางภาคอิสาน
If you are really interested in the way of life, history of the area, there is so much to see and do ,best way is to hire a motor bike and just head for the hills We were lucky enough to meet a local man who spoke very good English who acted as a tour guide for us he grow up in Loei so could tell you so much about the way life was For those that don't want to ride a bike he has a car and will do tours for 1500 baht plus cruel for the day, he will take you to places you would not believe ,tell him what you would like to see and he cane find it ,local weavers, basket makers ,old ladies hand making fishing nets.
Loei is a nice looking town, but the inhabitants are on the whole very inhospitible to foreigners. We were refused service at a few restaurants and stores in the markets.
Our first time to Loei, noticed a lot of street vendors selling mainly fruit. Apparently the pineapples are some of the best in Thailand.
A nice small city with good options to visit many interesting tourist sites for day trips or longer stays.
Not much there. Quite provincial city. No nightlife to speak of and not much open after 5 pm. No farang restaurants or pubs.
I would recommend Loei for an unadulterated social and culteral experience of Thai life. The place is slow and quiet, the people open and friendly.
The name Loei in Thailand might not be the first name which comes to mind when travelling in Thailand but it definitely a place not to be overlooked.
