Udon Thani Travel Forum

Are there any budget hotels in Udon Thani town? Say about 500-700 baht?
As long as rooms are clean and have an attached bathroom. It would be good if night market is within walking distance.

Hi -

there are quite a few places to stay in Udon Thani - it's been a while since I was there though (I stayed at the Queen Hotel and quickly moved out - it was terrible). The Charoensri Grand Royal Hotel (where I moved to) is nice but probably more than you want to pay. A quick scout around the internet found this:

and this:

both of which might fit the bill for you. Also there's a good map of Udon Thani here, if you need one:

Hope this is useful...

Hello

I stayed at the Charoen Hotel in Phosri road in `04.It`s probably more than you want to pay but it`s more than ok.

Sharon, I would also recommend the Charoen Hotel. It was once the nicest hotel in Udon. It has gotten a little older but is still a nice place to stay. In 2004, the rate was 660 baht plus optional breakfast buffet for another 100 baht. Breakfast was quite good and worth the extra cost. The more expensive Mayfair Hotel shares the same grounds and breakfast was there. Both are very near the bus station. You may want to take a look at my Udon tips for a little more information.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the info and the weblinks. They were very useful.

Hi, There are plenty of budget hotels in Udon. The best I would say is The Top Mansion Hotel. Only 350 Baht per night. My wife and I tried several but they were not up to our standard. We looked at various out of town, including Englishman`s Retreat. Besides looking like a small Alcatraz, it was much too far away from the town. Miles away in fact. The cost of transport to and from town would be more than the cost of the room. We also checked out the B and B Resort which is in the same area. That was much better and they will do a deal on the room price. But, as far as Udon Thani goes, the town has nothing whatsoever to offer foreign tourists. If you like shopping malls then there is a Robinson Mall there but that is about all. The bars are a waste of time and the market is rubbish too.
