Best Hotels near Wat Tha Prachum, Khon Kaen

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.

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.

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.

The location was good, and there was a 7-Eleven and a coin laundry nearby, so I was able to live a comfortable hotel life. It's close to Khon Kaen University, making it ideal for those studying abroad.

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.

We booked here on our first trip to Khon Kaen looking for some affordable accommodation close to the Lake. The place is relatively new and set up for Business Travellers locally in Thailand we suspect. Nevertheless its clean with a great bathroom and comfy beds and aircon. The location is down a laneway close to the lake. Its not in the main part of the city but we are avid walkers so easily made the trip walking to local markets and restaurants. There are eating places close by and a good bar in the Sunset Bar within walking distance.The staff managed by Pepsi were very helpful and also rang the car rental company to come and do the paper work along with the car. There are a couple of things we would like to see added. Firstly they need a good local map showing resaturants and bars especially for us travelling foreigners! Secondly its set up as an apartment with a small kitchen both it doesn't have any appliances or cooking utensils which is very odd given its purpose. Thirdly given the location it would have been nice to have an area with a bar / lounge area to relax in at the end of the day. We are seeing this through our western eyes and locals might have other needs maybe. Overall we liked the accommodation would stay there next time visiting this part of Thailand.

I am on way home from visit my wife's family in Kranuan. Need a bed in Khon Kaen 2 nights before early flight to Perth tmro morning. Had a very filling breakfast this morning, just about anything you need, except if you dumb Aussie like me, COFFEE, cereal, fruit yoghurt honey breakfast ... so from 7 11 up the street, I had that stashed in the little room fridge. Snuck it into the restaurant this morning and helped myself to the fantastic service of staff and fresh fruit and COFFEE made a good old mess haha. Once again really good service by staff that should get a pay rise. Even the room cleaning lady was friendly

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.
