The Pannarai Hotel

It's very central,but situated in a busy night life street! Very large hotel, the bedroom was large and bed comfortable. Excellent breakfast choices and egg station. Very friendly staff. They also have a private car ( one of their staff,Ho, very friendly,speaks a little English) to organise trips to the lotus lake or to Ban Chiang and the spectacular Pha Phrabat,not to be missed.

The room was large, spotless and nicely decorated. The WiFi was fast, the shower was hot and the aircon was cold. Perfect! I also noticed that the windows facing the entertainment venue next door were double glazed, which meant that it was quiet. Nice. Checking in and out was quick and easy. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Location is within walking distance to the mall, train station, Bangkok hospital and night time food vendors. Beds were comfortable (not rock hard), mini refrigerator worked fine, water was always hot in shower. Parking spaces are small but there was always a space to park. Breakfast was an impressive quality buffet for a three star hotel: egg station, 3 types of fresh fruit, salad bar, 3 types of cereal, coffee machine, waffles, fried potatos, rice soup with toppings, or rice porridge with chicken or pork, Vietnamese sandwiches AND four Thai dishes which changed daily. Pool was sparkling clean. Fitness room could be accessed early morning; had two treadmills, two stationary bikes and a bench with a bar and some rather old weights. Staff were great- helpful and friendly.

I have stayed here at least three times and it is my go-to hotel in Udon. Good parking, near the centre, polite staff, nice rooms. Good swimming pool. The fitness centre is a bit small, but I've never seen it busy so the chances are you will have it to yourself.

This is a big, luxurious Hotel only 5mins walk from Udon Thani's Bus station, only 150m from Central Plaza (the main shopping mall) and not too far from the Railway Station either. There are several good bars and cafes very nearby on the same street too. Apart from a Gym, the hotel has ALL the facilities you want/need in a Luxury Hotel - 24hr Front Desk (I had an effortless 5am check in), the breakfast is very good and there are good mini bar and in house dining options too.
