Best Hotels near Wat Tan Riang, Phra Lap

So far Thailand's transit system has been great, efficient, and cheap. A train fare from Khon Kaen to Udon Thani was only 25 bahts, which is less than one USD, versus the alternative taxi ride that will set you back 37 USD for an approximate two hour ride. The train was clean and modern looking, have bench style cushion seats, windows that can be open so fresh breeze circulate the car preventing passengers from overheating. The rail cars have restrooms so don't worry about emergency urges. If you forgot to bring along a bottle of water or beverages, there will be someone constantly walking by in the center aisle selling drinks and snacks at a cheap price. Since this train ride was my first one, I'm content with the experience and recommend others to try it out for themselves while traversing through Thailand. Have a wonderful travels... Fellow travellers!

The room is clean. It's very big and wide, but the sound of the pub is so loud that until 3 a.m. I still couldn't sleep. Even though we're on the 7th floor.

Great place to stay for a short-term trip in Khon Kaen. Near different street food places. A lot of stray dogs nearby but they aren’t dangerous. Is 10-15 minutes away from central plaza.

Was shocked when we first entered the room as it was old, unlike the marketing photos that were shown on Agoda and in the hotel. The toilet was also badly infested with cockroaches, we had to kill about 20+ small and medium sized cockroaches over the few nights that we stayed there. The reception staff were also unfriendly. We are very disappointed and do not recommend this hotel.

Really modern and well appointed hotel. Probably the most modern in Khon Kaen. Restaurants are decent and not overly priced like other hotels in the area. I stay here because it’s new and there is probably the best gym in the city a 2 min walk from there called Mega Gym. The only issue I had was for a super modern hotel the rooms have old flat screens that are not HDMI compatible. Very strange to be honest as the older hotels in Khon Kaen all have smart TVs. This actually caused me to move during my 2 week stay in the city. Besides that very nice hotel and great staff.

Roma Hotel or Roma Hotel is located on the city road. Khon Kaen Municipality It is a hotel that has been built for many years as well, but the interior has been renovated to look a modern model, but still has a mix of classic and old style hotels. Close to many tourist attractions, great prices, opposite there are famous restaurants. Next to the en-ot shop is a souvenir shop of Che Rat Khon Kaen.

Room # 320 - Stayed for just the One night. The Male Receptionist did a great job with an early check in. The room and the hotel is older style. Overnight there was a little Corridor noise, apart from that a really quiet nights sleep thru to dawn. Breakfast was Good...... Good choices of Hot Thai foods ( and very very Yummy ) plus Eggs cooked how you want to. The staff were excellent and the whole breakfast experience was Relaxing and very Enjoyable. We would book and stay here again.

We stayed in a triple room for 2 nights. The room itself was spacious and furnished like a studio-room condominium. The hotel location is a bit far from downtown area but there're several good and inexpensive restaurants nearby, just walking. Wifi in the room was not stable and quite slow. Cleanliness is an area for improvement, but for now still acceptable. Staff were nice and friendly as expected. There's an complimentary snack station on the ground floor. A parking lot was behind the hotel for free of charge.

The first time searching on various websites Afraid that it will be an old hotel With old-style rooms, but actually not at all, everything is good, the room is good, the water is strong, there is a bottom spray, the breakfast is good. Have a lot to choose from Good location in the city and there is a good place on the 1st floor of the hotel as well.

The bed is comfortable, everything works, access and parking are good, rooms are very clean and well serviced by efficient, helpful and friendly staff. BUT . . . .Funky (though irrelevant) decor can never overcome basic problems with any establishment. There is no possible way this place deserves the high rating received. I was unfortunately forced to extend my stay so can write with some experience. First, the noise: the building has a U-shape design facing the street so it cleverly collects all the street noise and directs it into the front rooms, and what street noise. All night bikes and cars, even loud conversations exacerbated by a further design feature, the balconies, which require opening doors and therefore exclude the possibility of well-sealed windows. Then there is the white tiled floors which carry internal sounds nicely ensuring various knocks, loud TV and cleaning activity are clearly audible. Those same white tiles throughout also ensure plenty of reflected glare from sun and downlights as well. It all probably looked good in the plans! More importantly there is the kitchen, or rather lack of one. How a large modern hotel believes it can operate conveniently for guests without any kitchen or even dining area is a mystery. Again, worsened by the lack of reasonable equipment and utensils in the rooms - no sink, few cutlery/crockery pieces, no microwave which you would think a hotel without a kitchen would provide. Enquiring of desk staff what to do the answer was mostly of a shrugging nature. They didn't say eg that across the road was the hotel Le Cassia with a very pleasant dining area and breakfast for 150 baht. A walk around found some recompense in street food and a couple of fancy restaurants but they were a fair walk and not much good for breakfast. So location, also nah! To go anywhere you need a lengthy walk or a vehicle, and there isn't the ready availability of tuk-tuks or cabs as there is elsewhere. All-in-all this adds up to a pretty poor experience, despite any good points the hotel has, and it does have some as described. Value is just as available in other hotels without the drawbacks. The desk staff could be a little less sullen and more forthcoming also, and have some English - it is the hospitality industry after all. Most of this of course cannot be changed by management but more effort to overcome the problems would go a long way to improvement.
