Manifestation of Korat

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Dec 27, 2011
This hotel was a perfect manifestation of Korat - run down, dirty, loud and cheap. I can't complain too much because the rooms were 500 baht ($15) and the hotel is centrally located but... it was a pretty depressing hotel experience. The lobby gives a hint of promise but the carpets in the elevator and hallway of the second floor, threadbare and dirty, were the first indication of what the rooms would be like. We got two interconnecting rooms which were of decent size. The walls were dirty and falling apart, mosquitoes were flying around the rooms and the bathrooms had just a loose shower head, no stall or curtain, so if you shower water goes over the entire floor. The special downer about the room is the bed which was almost as hard as the floor (I'm actually not joking). I've never seen anything like it. On top of all this, we were on the second floor which is right above the karaoke bar which boasts 3 rooms. Luckily for us, the karaoke bar was very popular during our stay and went to 3 am every night. What can you do? Its Korat. This all said, based on the reviews on Trip Advidor of other hotels in Korat, this might be one of the better options.

Tuktuk driver at train station suggested this hotel. They offered rooms at 600 and 1000 bath respectively. The difference was sllightly better equipped bathrooom for the more expensive price. We chose 600 bath rooms. Clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful even if some spoke poor or no English. Location good and no problem finding restaurants nearby.

We found ourselves in Korat last night, on the way home to Udon Thani from the beach. Didn't want to push the drive back, so we opted to stay in Korat.
The Chaophraya is a pretty basic hotel in quite a good location - just a half block from the little central park that has the Queen Suranadi (sp?) monument. There is a decent shopping mall next door, a Thai restaurant with a huge menu, a small beer garden, and a Japanese restaurant that served decent food. Secure parking is a plus for this part of town.
The room was - well, basic. Worn, indoor-outdoor carpeting, an older air conditioning unit that was quite loud, two double beds with two of the hardest mattresses I have ever slept on. The bathroom was OK - there was hot water, and it was clean. At 500 baht per night, the place was more than adequate.
Staff was very friendly. I would stay again, and would recommend the property to friends who are familiar with barebones inner-city Thai hotels and not looking for much panache or amenities....

The Chaophaya was in a good location for us, just a couple of blocks from the monument to the queen who saved the city, and handy for songthaews. We were in Nakhon Ratchasima in order to visit Phimai and its Khmer site. After visiting a hotel with scary carpet in the elevator, hallways, and rooms, we were pleased to see tile floors in the rooms here. Hallway and elevator carpet had big stains, and was very frayed in the elevator. However, everything worked, and the food in the downstairs restaurant served our purposes. We found no excellent restaurants nearby, though there was at least one good bakery not too far away. The mattresses however were the hardest I have ever encountered. There was no give whatsoever. Elsewhere in Thailand mattresses were firm but I found them comfortable. The mattress did cause sleep that was not restful. I checked out another hotel some blocks away - same story. Maybe it's a Khorat thing. If we returned to this city we'd consider the same hotel, surely, but we'd investigate some others also.

I found this hotel on the web and saw its location was close to the old city of Nakhon Rachasima (Korat). I arrived by motorcycle and was able to park right out front in a secure area. My room was clean, queen size bed, private bath, fridge and TV though the English stations were limited to BBC and Bloomberg and Channel News Asia. I could walk to the Old Gates of the city and a new plaza constructed on a moat that was filled in. KFC and Pizza company just down the street. There was a restaurant at the hotel and a 99 Baht buffet across the parking lot. It was a good base as I toured sites on display in the lobby. The price was approximately 15 dollars US a night. I was able to see Phi Mai, Nang Ram, Muang Sema and a few other Khmer temples. I intended to stay 2 nights and hung out for an additonal 2 more. Jim CA2
