Janet Lennie | Had a very comfortable stay in this hotel. It is not in middle of the tourist action but easy to get to everything. Swimming pool was clean, breakfast buffet had western and thai style food. Staff was helpful and all spoke a little english. Internet service in the room was 100 bhat for 24hours but intermittent and weak if working at all. No strength for skype. The lobby service is better 50 bhat for an hour but the logoff sequence was longwinded and the hour could be wasted if not logged off between uses. Lots of karaoke! | 7.4/10 |

Lars | My overall comment....it was o.k. In consideration of the price we paid we couldn t expect a 5 stars location. Rooms are getting a bit long in the tooth. Breakfast was o.k. and really enjoyable compared to other more expensive hotels in Udon Thani. Friendly stuff. | 6.6/10 |

Randall Stingel | Some food at the breakfast buffet was often cold (eggs, etc.). It should be cooked as it is ordered, or a better method to keep it warm should be found. No English language news on TV. TV reception on some channels was very poor (unwatchable). Everything else was okay. | 6.6/10 |

Sharon | This hotel is geared to Thai market and very little English spoken so not geared to Europeans of which I was one of possibly 2. Hotel looks great from outside with nice gardens but once in it s old fashioned and has an unusual smells though not bad. The bedrooms are generous enough and they have European TV channels. Breakfast is appalling and staffing is very limited and lack of information; some mornings I could just get toast and when Thai groups are in, forget it. Wi-fi in rooms is shaky and costs. Reasonable location with tuk tuks and buses outside so good as a couple of nights but for long stay, forget food quality and service in the restaurant. Amazingly, they seem to have a shop dedicated to wines and a coffee shop that is rarely staffed. The swimming pool cannot be accessed by rooms or lift as it it is outside and often used by local children. | 4.8/10 |

Lorne Raymond James | Location perfect, experienced Thai travellers will be impressed. Pretentious wine and coffee bar should be missed. Great value for money. | 9.2/10 |

Cornelius Wolfgang Mueller | Provincial hotel with no specifgic highlights, neither positiv nor negative. Breakfast buffet has lot room for improvement, which might be because of the very low occupancy rate during our stay | 6/10 |

NGUYEN Jean Marie | This hotel is average. The rooms need to be refreshed. The AC was very noisy in my room. This hotel was not my first choice but the other was full at that time. | 6/10 |

Alexander Malcolm | Nice looking place, but a bit far from city center. Breakfast buffet Ok, but nothing special.
Very spacious room, 2 easy chairs, but no TV news channels in English. Comfortable bed.
The room given was on the top floor (10) right under the a/c chillers. Far too much noise and vibration. Reception changed to floor 8 without any fuss. | 6/10 |

Leslie Derrin | This hotel is better suited to Thai guests. The staff do not seem to have experience with foreigners. It looks HI SO on the outside and in the the lobby but very sub standard where it counts in the room and bathroom was ancient. The swimming pool featured so beautifully on the internet did not have any water in it and was badly decaying. Breakfast was quite unpalatable.
On the way back through Udon after the Naga Festival in Nong Khai, we stayed at a guesthouse for a 1/4 of the price in a better location and better facilities without the HI SO Thai pretense........highly recommend Top Mansion | 4/10 |

Daniel King | Room is spacious, clean. Spa is excellent, good price, staff is very friendly and polite. Front desk people are another story. They are not rude but yet not nice which is not Thai hopitality we have got usedt to. They never greet or say hello or even smile to us. Seem like they do not want to bother. So we talked to the manager, she appologized and told us these people are new and promise to train them more. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Location is great, food is good but not sure if we wqnt to come back to this hotel! | 5.42857142857/10 |

Rahim | Hotel was better than expected as I had read many negative comments. It s a older hotel but it is comfortable and quiet. Had a in-room safe. The showers and tubs could use and upgrade but gets the job done. The breakfast was just ok...beware the moskitos!!! | |

Lester John Chin | this hotel is nice and clean and modern. The staff seems under pressure all the time and it shows on their faces. We ate there once at the coffee shop and was disappointed. It is under par for quality and selection. Over all, stay there but eat some where else. | |

H.J.H. and friends | A nice hotel. We have been picked up from the airport. But surprisingly the reception didn t know about our stay... | |

William Calcagni | Avoid this place! I have visited Udon Thani several times but this was my first visit to the Ban Chiang Hotel. For 2 of our 3 days there was no hot water. Despite repeated requests nothing was done about it. The rooms are very dimly lit and need refurbishment. The Charoensri Grand is much better value for the money. | |
