Udon Thani Province hotels & accommodations
This is my second visit to Centara Hotel & Convention Centre Udon Thani Hotel. The first in November 2010 was disappointing. I was impressed with the hotel lobby and dining, but the furnishing in the rooms were old, the carpets smells bad and were dirty, and there were roaches in my room; but the service was great. I live in Udon Thani and watched as the Central Pla...
We have stayed at the Brown House a few times now and keep coming back due to it's overall value. Prior to finding the Brown House, we have stayed in many of the hotels in Udon Thani city center. While not in downtown, it is a short Tuk Tuk drive away. We like the fact it is a bit further away because of the lack of noise. With what we believe is the best hotel poo...
Love everything about this boutique hotel. Great location in central city. Stayed with my wife, which we live in Northen Thailand and frequently stay in Udon Thani. This is our choice of hotels to stay in Udon Thani for many reasons. I'm American and my wife is Thai and can both find great selections of international cuisine. We are always looking forward to coming ba...
In December I had a very pleasant stay for 4 days at the Pannarai Hotel in Udon Thani. This is a lovely hotel, clean, very comfortable rooms with great bathroom (maybe hot water in the wash basin could be considered?), in room safe, robes, comfortable bed, free water, plenty of TV channels for all. Breakfast is very good, wholesome and hot, with a good choice of Orie...

Our family lives in Khon Kaen, Thailand now, but for six years we lived in Udon Thani. We enjoy traveling back to see friends, go shopping, and to attend UTBC events. Whenever we travel there we stay at the B2 Udon Thani Boutique and Budget Hotel. The price is amazing for what you get. We love the presidential suite in which our daughters can have their own room,...
Professional staffs, Clean, new rooms, location, price. I think they have 2 branches in Udon Thani and the other one is even better. I though the price was too cheap but when i looked closely to udon thani hotels are usually in a good condition with a very good price. Hope asian people dont make the price go up again because i think udon thani is famous for western ...
What made my stay the best was i never felt uncomfortable, as with anywhere in Thailand, every hotel as it's own uniqueness, but the Charoen is in a class all itself, there was not a need or want that they could not handle or take care of. The only thing that i feel would be of benefit would be a shuttle to certain parts of the city due to their locale, being in udon ...
Quiet, clean well located hotel with secure parking (important for me as I have a van full of expensive gear). Breakfast OK as well! This is our go to hotel in Udon Thani.
No cons, supurb hotel to stay at in Udon Thani, very friendly & helpful staff. Beautifuly decorated rooms, choose balcony room if you stay
This hotel is your best choice in Udon Thani town. It is very new and the rooms are nicely decorated. The location is right behind the Central Dep Store, and in the main nightlife area. Perfect stay for the value! I can always recommend and will also chose this hotel again.
We were extremely happy in this hotel there doesn't seem to be many good hotels in Udon Thani this is the exception The Breakfast were very Thai the same as all the hotels we have stayed in in this area The rooms were big and bright and clean we just loved the place and are still talking about it as one of our hi lights of this trip We were there for Son Krahn I am...
My first time in Udon Thani, I wasn't sure what to expect. After taking the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel, I was pleasantly reassured once I checked into my room at @Home. The staff was friendly and very helpful in answering my questions about the surrounding area. The hotel is situated in an area with many beer bars and cafés. You are also just steps away ...
clean and newness room. we'll come back to stay again if we come Udon Thani not far from Central Udon thani and the Airport.
Being a young a family it was important to stay at a hotel that was clean, friendly and fun and this hotel ticked all the boxes. Staff and security were super friendly and helpful, we really felt happy and comfortable at this location. The hotel rooms were very large, modern and clean. I've never stayed at hotel at this price with such a large, clean and organized ho...
From the moment we were driven into the hotel entrance, we could sense something special about this hotel in Udon Thani. The check in staff were very efficient and helpful, and the bell captain and his staff were fabulous. The room was very well appointed and had a good sized bathroom,seating, and a comfortable bed. There was ample hanging space and a security safe wit...
One of the nicest hotels that I have stayed in especially as it is a small independant. The room and bathroom are finished off and decorated beautifully and the bed and bedding is so comfy you dont want to get up in the morning. Excellent breakfast and what they have done with the roofspace is incredible, a lovely swimming pool complete with safe kiddies area, and the ...
New hotel, Clean, Very nice staff especially night shift staffs(looks like Korean star) 2 choices of breakfast, Thai style or ABF which served from the heart(like they said). Welcome drink. There's no 7-11 near by and the location is quite remote. It's perfect for those who has own vehicle. Overall is perfect I absolutely come back for my next visit.
The hotel seemed to be newly built, so facilities and furnishings are all brand new. It is definitely one of the most value-for-money hotel in Udon Thani, comes with breakfast as well. However, the downside is that this hotel is located away from the bustling side of the city and you definitely need to have your own transport to get to places as there wasn't any sign o...
My wife and I stayed 2 nights and found the hotel centrally located and quite easy to find. There was plenty of parking space and the staff was very helpful. The hotel is new only 6 months old. There is not a pool or gym but a good restaurant. The menu is Thai not Western but the quality of the food was excellent and good value. The breakfast is adequate and well set ...
Have tried the nicer hotels in Udon Thani. Keep coming back to the SG. We've decided to stop experimenting with other Udon Thani hotels. SG will be our home in Udon.
Perfect place for a stop over in Udon Thani. We are returning customers and the Napalai always is our first choice because of the location that suits us the most. The staff always is friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We will defintely return the next time which will be this year in April.
This was a quick stay in Udon Thani before heading to Laos and thought I'd stay for a look round. The hotel was up to a good standard and can find no faults expect the reception staff could be a bit more friendly. The room I had was overlooking the road and on the Day Night Bar Plaza but was still very quiet. It had everything I needed and all worked fine. location wa...
I booked this hotel for 2 rooms for 2 nights. The hotel is new and clean. There is free coffee/tea in the lobby. I got my rooms on the first floor of the hotel but I couldn't sleep well for a night due to very lound noise of some terrible guests wating and playing in front of the elevator around 2 am without any staff stopping them. It's such a nightmare ever. I was tr...
This place has met above my expectation for the price I booked at. Clean beds and facilities, with helpful staffs. Location is walkable to the central plaza (around10-15mins) with some restaurants on the way. Only minor flaw is that common area is not air conditioned and is in only space, though I guess it makes it more environmental friendly. All in all, would stay a...
This hotel is about 15 km from Central Udon Thani, which suited us as we were seeing family nearby. I asked how much for a 6 p.m. checkout..... free !!!
Good hotel for the price. Nice rooms, friendly staff. Right on main road a few blocks from downtown, easy access to highways and the Shopping center. Biggest drawback is the bar next door with live music nightly until Midnight. If you want early nights, this may not be the place for you.
Our stay was very comfortable. It is close to the market which provided inexpensive and delicious suppers. Close to the big shopping centre. Easy to travel to and from Udon Thani. Many people speak English here.
I booked 1 room with extra person ,a 9 years old child. As i saw a hotel policies that specicified child can share bed with his parent for free of charge . When i came here they wanna charge me 200 baht for extra person included breakfast. But i told them in hotel policies that we can do without charge coz our child still 9 years old and i already wrote it. So they c...

I had travelled to Udon Thani becasue of a job. The room was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The location is about 11 minutes away from the railway station and it cost me 100 baht to get there. be careful of tuk tuk drivers one charged me 300 when I firsr arrived. there are many nice restauarants within walking distance and the central plaza is a 5 minutes ri...
I am writing this review in Chiang Rai. I met a lady in the lotus lake and she recommend this hostel to me. I've never seen a hostel with a comfortable and big-size( for a hostel standard) like here. Everything here is just perfect. DIY breakfast, free mineral water and bicycles, spotlessly clean bathroom(even equipped with high-quality shampoos), helpful and fri...
A nice friendly hostel in the centre of Udon, good staff and friendly vibe. Very good burgers made by the owners. The owners let me borrow their computer for a few hours because I was hacked and it was important. Would recommend for all.
This new and luxurious hostel has a unique interior. Looks very fancy and modern. Has very clean beds, shower rooms, and toilet. Also, has a small balcony and some entertain facilities. In the morning we can have small breakfast as well! And a worker was very kind even I arrived at the hostel very late at night, he tried to explain every tourist attractions which are...
If you just want somewhere to stay this must be one of the best value places in Thailand. The staff were friendly and efficient. The room was comfortable and clean. They provided everything they could for a small hotel such ad hot drinks and snacks in the lobby. The location is great for town and the airport. I will certainly come here again next time I stop over in Ud...
Only stayed one night but the place is really nice with good facilities. We had a kitchen with microwave and somewhere to sit and eat. The lounge was separate with lots of space and a tv. Bedroom big and spacious with lots of room for clothes if you were staying for a couple of weeks. The only negative and it's more because my girlfriend is Thai is the lack of hot wate...
Cheap price, central location. Close to night market and shopping mall. Udon Thani is a nice quiet town and we were here for the lotus lake.
Hard to find poor hotel
The room is so cute and no extra bed. Beside that, easy to find local food along the road. The Hotel far from night market(Fri-Sun). Near The Udon Thani Rajabhat University(200m ) and Mini Tesco. Some staff are not friendly and helpful. We must find places or Tuk Tuk by myself.
I have stayed at GM Green Resort 4 or 5 times, since it is very close to my friend's farm. In the past not all things worked well, plumbing primarily. A/C is good. Room is clean, but they do not pay attention to all the details. Staff very friendly. They seem to be repairing things that have been neglected in the past.
Everything was good except for one thing. First of all I am surprised they do not say there is a 9 hole golf course about one minutes drive from the hotel. Shorter course but not easy and very cheap. I was allowed to check-in early and easily booked a late check out for 100 baht. The breakfast was good. I did eat another two meals there and they were ok but no more. Th...
I wish I could live there forever! So friendly and helpful staff, very good location. So clean, cozy. Value for money. overall great stay. highly recommend this charming place!
I've stayed here on previous trips to Udon Thani. Close to Nong Prajac park, Ban Huey market, seven/eleven. It's quite a walk (30 mins) from Central Plaza or UD town near the trainstation,5-10 mins with songthaew (pick-up truck public transport) which costs 10 baht. Will stay there again on my future visits to Udon Thani.
Great & Wonderful !!!!!!!! Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a decent hotel. quite a bit off the tourist track and very peaceful. Don't be fooled by the photos however, they're specifically the deluxe rooms. the standard rooms are around the back and much smaller but it's very peaceful day/night free wifi hot shower air/con nice gardens it's great for a morning flight in Udon for following day.
It's a nice cozy resort. The rooms are basic; but clean and the bed is soft. It's 6-7 Km.'s out of town, so you have to be mobile. Not so much action around, but there is a mini mart up the road. Perfect place for a 1 night sleepover.
I stayed for 6 nights in this hotel. The rooms are big, clean, and brand New. The staff at the reception should learn some English cause they did'nt speak one word. But I would really recommend the hotel. You need your own transport. It's far out of Town at the ringroad.
Googlemaps tells wrong location. Use the location from agoda, then you'll find it. It's a bit more outside Udon Thani than I thought it would be. Need a car. Everything else was good
its a bargin stay in udon. rooms are of good size tv with international channels and wifi is working. but the whole house needs a brush from top to toe and a pot of paint.reception staff is very friendly.
![Swimming pool [outdoor]](http://pix10.agoda.net/hotelImages/569787/0/95578facd9590e74a9436f46fea2f874.jpg?ce=2&s=312x235&ar=16x9)
Value for money. It's still possible to find hotels at a reasonable rate if you are happy with the basics: good bed with clean sheets, warm shower, cable tv, fridge. No frills but if we're outside all day, that'really all we need. No breakfast, but Udonthani is not just any place: you can try out local breakfast in several 'famous' restaurants. Favorites are: kao piaek...
If your looking for somewhere for one or two nights it’s ok... not easy to get around .. they don’t rent motorbikes out.... no bus into udon... their are places to eat near the hotel... the staff only speaks a little English
it was ok , not bad for a small 3 star hotel ....
if you like always in thailand dont take the star rating to serious the rungsri is a no frills budget guesthouse rooms are clean and look well maintained with basic features.staff is very helpful and a safe and quite sleep seems certain.during my three nights stay we had one time rooms service. we arrived early at 9.00 and had to pay baht plus in order to get the room...
Very pleasant. Lovely bed in spacious room. Wonderful plush towels, hot water. Air con (not needed when I was there in December). TV with maybe 10 English channels; wifi Internet, 4/5. Fenced in balcony area. Security: onsite staff, regular key door lock. Inside: sturdy sliding bolt. Outside: can take own lock, when leaving for day. Onsite washing machine! 30 Baht for ...
Pro:s ideally for those who want to catch the flight at Udon International Airport. Cons: Too old.
Just the time for grab my phone and booked a different place in town, because after the horrible no-welcome from the lady, didn’t say anything else than “agoda”, she open my bungalow stuffed in mosquito and disappeared. The place is lost no service and no way to buy food or have a dinner. I realised just later from the taxi driver bring me to centara hotel, this place ...
Me and my girlfriend love this place, whenever we are staying in udon Thani we will come and stay here and this was our second time at surada. It's because the staff are friendly and the room is massive with a big balcony u can sit outside all night. The room has air con and you can make yourself at home using the kitchen too if u want to cook something there
I like the fact that the guesthouse is in a quiet neighborhood with nearby food stalls and local restaurants, while at the same time only a short walk to all of the action that is central Udon. The small outside sitting area with free coffee and biscuits is relaxing. Ths owners and staff are gracious.
Food-wise, Udon Thani might have the best (if not completely off the tourist radar) night market in all of Thailand. This low key, comfortable guesthouse is the place I will stay the next time I find myself passing through Udon.

The staff always is friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We will defintely return the next time which will be this year in April.
The stay in the hotel generally is good expect that we dint get to fully utilize the facility as most of the time we were out, aside to that the place has a great view over looking the city as its location is set above the rest, would definitely stay in Napalai again if we were to visit Udon Thani again😊
The hotel is brand new which means everything is clean and works properly. The room was large and we had a lovely view of green pastures. The pool was in great condition but lacked shade in the afternoon. It is close to the airport and a short walk to a Big C where I was able buy food supplies and a cheap 200 baht kettle because the room didn't have one. The downside t...
Definitely the best hotel in Udon Thani. I made a mistake with the arrival date while booking. The staff gently sorted out my problem without any additional costs! Rare. The bedrooms are spacious and new, especially the Suite with a large bath tub. The breakfast is nice and the bar/restaurant elegant enough to relax and drink a cocktail. Not far from UD town, 7 minutes...
