Don’t expect a Hilton or Marriott room for only 1050bt ! That’s what we paid for a clean and large room (30m²) including buffet breakfast, a comfortable bed, large and clean bathroom, good working airco and a swimming pool. And, yes, the hotel has been built during the Vietnamese war (In Udon Thani was a large US military base) , rooms are dated and the furnitures are older, nevertheless we have no complaints if we have to pay only 1050bt. Wifi . Good breakfast buffet.
The soreheads who have complaints, has to go to a higher class hotel, but that’s the problem in Udon Thani : there are no high end hotels in town !
Charoen hotel is centrally located , only 200m from busstation, 900m from trainstation and night market, 700m from central mall. The hotel consists of an older and a newer wing, 5 storeys high, and 250 rooms. Lunchbuffet at 250bt and dinerbuffet at 130bt !
Oh, one tip : ask a room at front side of hotel, because of loud disco at back side.
