A great 8-day stay”

My fiancee is a Korat native, so when I visit her I generally stay for a week or two before heading off together on a holiday. Such was the case when we stayed at Urban-Bamboo for eight days last month. Right from check-in everything went smoothly, the manager was generous with his time to welcome and orient me. I have an appreciation for Asian art, so just leaving the lobby after check-in took me some time. I don't consider it a negative that there is no elevator - I can use all the exercise I can get, especially on vacations - and given choice of floors, I took the 4th, the top (there is a 5th floor with an open air lounge and view over the city). The breakfasts were especially praiseworthy, I really enjoy Thai food (who doesn't!) but the cook here really deserves a shout-out. Simply excellent, a "cut above" the usual. Good location, too, just over a block to Lady Mo and the Krung shopping mall. All in all, a great visit, I've stayed in several other hotels in the area, but I think I just found my go-to home away from home.

My Korat Go-to home away from home ”

Good location, great staff. Comfortable and inexpensive boutique hotel. I've stayed there 5 different times, from a few days to a week and a half. Every time I think of trying somewhere else, I search, search, search, and then pick Urban Bamboo again. Book early to get best room selection (some rooms smaller than others, some have refrigerators, some don't). Also, 4 stories and no elevator, so perhaps not perfect in that regard for everyone.

Recommend”

I'm proud to say, I made the right choice. The location is very strategic as it is only less than a block from food street and other tourist areas like the monument, antique temple, train station, & bus terminal. The public van stop is just at the corner. New, Clean, and well maintain bathroom. Breakfast plate was delicious. I got soup with rice and sweet buns. My friend also got some choices for vegetarians. I guess, it's best one for backpackers. The staffs are very accommodating and helpful. All in all, we had a great time in Urban-Bamboo. Will definitely recommend it to friends and other travelers.

Wonderful Facilities and Lovely Staff”

I really enjoyed my stay at Urban Bamboo. The room was small but comfy (one of the best beds I've had in SEA) and the decor is really hip and fun. Everything was very clean and the staff was super helpful. They have an excellent rooftop to hang out on and are located close to lots of good restaurants, coffee shops, and the main sites in Korat. Highly recommended!! (Breakfast was awesome too!)

Great stay at urban bamboo”

I had such a great time at the urban bamboo hotel. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is great, the rooms are clean and nice, the roof top is beautiful and I felt like a visiting friend as everyone was so welcoming. Thank you so much.

One night in Korat”

Hotel is in a converted two-townhouse block with narrow staircase and no elevator (not a problem for us). The room (B003) functional albeit missing dearly needed shelf-space in the bedroom (two travel bags cannot be unpacked and kept open at the same time; no shelf space in the bathroom - I needed to unclog the drainage of the shower. During the night it rained which resulted in water dropping on a zinc-roof of the building which drove us absolutely crazy and kept us awake; brekky a poor show too. We had to stay a second night in Korat but changed the hotel for the Korat Hotel; Urban-Bamboo run by lovely people but hospitality needs more than friendly people. After all not everybody comes for Chinese furnishings and decorations alone.

New and clean hotel with fantastic owner”

We booked this hotel through Agoda and stayed at this hotel for one night on our way to Khon Kaen. I called the hotel to inform the that we will arrive by midnight but unfortunately the traffic was so bad so we arrived around 4 a.m. The owned called me to make sure if we were ok, he called us again to give directions to hotel and waited for us in front of the lobby. It was really nice... The hotel located right in the middle of the city and has three floor. It has no elevator, so if you bring a lot of luggage, better stay at the second floor. The rooms were clean and every room has theme. Breakfast was not buffet style, but ok. We had fried eggs, sausages and bread. But we have to pay for the coffee..

A gem”

As the photos suggest when you enter lobby you know right away the owner is detail oriented. He was so friendly and kind even though he didn't know we had booked. It was corrected in just a minute and we were in our cute Van Gogh room a few minutes later. If you don't like stairs, then don't come here, but I wasn't bothered by it at all. The hotel is listed as a Hostel, because the top floor can accommodate backpackers, but was a nice place to chill out because of off season. Breakfast was by order, limited, but excellent. Highly recommended. Location is great.

Probably my 6th or 7th stay, sometimes for a week”

For the price, and considering the good location and always welcoming and helpful staff, this is my go-to home away from home when I am in Korat. I will admit I generally plan my trips well ahead of time, so I cannot speak about last room available situations.

Exceptional”

Friendly staff, check-in stops at 2200, but my bus arrived late and they stayed to let me check in at 0100. Room and facilities are clean and comfortable. Good price and good breakfast.

Great hotel ”

Wonderful hotel in the city, staff was excellent, rooms were nice and breakfast was great 👍🏻

Urban bamboo ”

Firstly it’s really a hostel But that said it’s clean and a great location for getting around korat city centre The wifi speed was extremely fast( maybe because there wasn’t many users?) Parking is a bit hit and miss, there are places to park but no dedicated car park The breakfast options were limited if you were wanting a western style, but the Asian breakfast was very good

New, cozy and friendly hotel!”

Nice little hotel, clean with a friendly staff. Relaxed and low-key atmosphere. Guests are treated more like roommates, you get a key to let yourself in after hours and access to a hip roof deck complete with free snacks. Room was smallish, but clean and well-equipped. Kim and Muek went out their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Highly recommended!

Great food nice location ”

I would rate 5 star for this hostel, first is for dinning, i didn’t expect for breakfast here cause it charged me just only $25-30 per night. How much do you expect ? But what they served customer in morning was 4 choises of main dish, 2 kind of fresh toast (sweet or salt toast) and a cup of coffee. The dinning room was decorated by chinese vase that made room feel humbling But you have to walk more carefully LOL. The location surrounding was nice, closed to Lady Statue and night market. I think this is fantastic and nice place to rest in Korat.

Absolute satisfaction”

The accommodation is a short walk from the Thanon Chira Junction train station. It is a good starting point to explore Korat. The room is comfortable with effective air conditioning, which is paramount considering the high average temperature in Thailand. The free breakfast was superbly deletable, and rooftop has a cosy place for chilling out at night with the provision of complimentary instant noodles and cracker snack. It is a wonderful place to stay with 2 plaza malls within walking distance and also roadside food stalls in the proximity.

great little stay”

We spent a few nights here in January 2018, and really enjoyed ourselves. Breakfast was small, but delicious. Staff attentive, and room charming. Great area of town! Our only complaint was the room smelled musty/moldy. and we decided it is a problem a lot of places in Thailand experience. (This was our 20 place to stay on this trip) We bought a room deodorizer, opened the window, and called it good. Definitely would recommend!!

Excellent small hotel ”

Well located in central Khorat this small hotel with friendly and helpful owners and staff is ideal for a short stay. The decor is very stylish and everywhere is clean and well-maintained. Breakfast is included. We liked it so much we stayed an extra two nights.

Exceptional”

Stayed here for three nights on our Thailand trip. Great location near local resaurants, the plaza and a night market. Staff are very helpful and friendly.. The thai breckfast options were great. The main options are rice porridge, rice congee, omelette with rice and pan eggs. The lounge area on the roof is great and we went up there with a drink from 7-11 once we had returned home for the night. If i came back to Korat i would stay here again.

Good location ”

Hotel is in a good location, room was cleaned daily and the shower had hot water. unfortunately the room was a bit small and the shower leaked you also had to step up into the bathroom, you got breakfast but it was mainly Thai/Chinese cuisine. the dinning area was really good and well designed

Interesting and good hotel”

The hotel was good except the roomsmelt strongly of something like napthalene or a similar strong air freshner, also banged my head on the edge of the shower screen glass, when entering the tiny bathroom during the night. Apart from that the hotel is really good and the staff very helpful
