Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani We like the hotel and had a pleasant stay. The location was ideal because I like to walk around the market in the morning. Too bad that because of our meetings out, we did not have much time to enjoy other facilities. The most memorable part of our stay is the opportunity to sing old favourites accompanied by the pianist at the sitting lounge. |
Booking service was ok, though I was initially uncertain whether it was bonafide. So I only booked for 3 nights thinking that I could probably extend another 2 nights later. Finally, my companions decided to check into another cheaper apartment for those 2 nights when the hotel refuse to extend at the same rate. |

Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani Very poor one of the worst hotels I and my wife have stayed in. The first room they offered us was generally dirty, had dirty water coming from the taps and torn sheets on the bed. The second room was cleaner but not good, the bedding OK and water clean but for two days we had no hot water for a shower in the morning. Generally the staff were poor and did not even communicate well in Thai. Would never stay there again. |
Booking service worked well with no problems thanks. |

Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani This was not our first choice of hotel due to mixed reviews, but wewere offerred The Bang Chiang and took a chance. On reception he staff were friendly and attentive, our choice ofa non-smoking room was not available at short notice, due to a holiday weekend, but the allocated was fine and regularly sprayed with freshener so was fine. The breakfast range was, as previously reported, atad limited and cold, but the staff happily cooked fresh to order, you only had to ask. All in all, though it was not our first choice, we were totally satisfied with our stay, it was good value for money and we would stay agin. |
Our first choice was not available, due to short notice and a holiday weekend, an alternative was quickly offerred and the booking process went smoothly. |

Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani An ok hotel for the price,could do with total renovation of rooms though. Breakfast is not edible,and they appear to have a mosquito problem which they do nothing to rectify. |
As always, no problem with this service |

Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani This hotel appears very nice from the lobby and front desk although the woman at the front desk was bordering on rude and only one person had passable English. I know, it is my fault for not learning Thai before going. I would like to be able to say this hotel is simply old and tired and in need of some updating but that would be a lie. Nothing worked in the room. The lighting fixtures were broken, all of the buttons and controls in the bedside panel were smashed, clawed and non-functional. I could not control any of the broken lights or air conditioning. Fortunately the A/C did work and was stuck at a level perfect for my preference. For the most part the bathroom was serviceable although I thought I was going to lose it when I turned on the shower faucet and nothing but pure brown water came out. Not to worry, it clears up in a minute or two. The breakfast buffet is not very large nor are the choices varied much from day to day. I did notice the majority of people at breakfast are Thai. I have stayed at the Charoensri Grand Royal before and found it acceptable. European run lodges and rooms might be a better choice than the Ban Chiang. |
Flawless. Everything handled quickly, expertly without any delay nor problems. |

Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani Fourth time at the Ban Chiang - this time for 18 nights in a junior suite @1300 baht p/n. Cold buffet breakfasts, tired-looking romms and a sleepy atmosphere.Apart from the pool, there is nothing really exceptional about this hotel and we will definately stay elsewhere next time. We looked at the Karin hotel which has recently been refurbished and it was around 450 baht p/n for a twin/double and 1050 baht for a 2-bedroom suite.Worth considering. |
Very efficient as usual apart from the deluge of confirming e-mails. Pity the Karin hotel is not offerred by Sawadee. |

Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani In general quite good option for people going to Laos. Hotel located appxmtl. 1 km from the city center- so quite. Rooms - nothing special-but relevent to the price. Breakfast less than satisfactory. But in general- if you are in transit -I will stay there again. |
Booking service really perfect. I have had to reserve the room just a day before. They have been in touch with me all the time- and finally found something in the last minute . If you compare with the competitors- definitely above the level |

Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani The room was clean and the staff friendly, it is not in a central position which means being harrassed by tuk tuk drivers every time you leave the hotel. Like most large hotels it is mainly interested in business clients but overall it is a reasonable place to stay. The downside from me was i stayed 4 nights but were only given tickets for 1 free breakfast - charged 300 baht after that. They advertise as breakfast included. |
No problem with bookings - have made several never had any problems. |

Ban Chiang Hotel, Udorn Thani nice hotel, get a free map at information desk. Local transportation (songtaew) is passing by the hotel and the two parallel streets, no need for expensive taxi drivers. Look for pickup service from airport. Room clean and nice decorated. |
fine service without any problems. did a very fast last minute booking others aren t willing to do. |
