Hotels near Wat Udom Mahawan (Wat Pa Luang), Nong Khai

Crystal Palace Hotel is centrally located, conveniently very close to the Tesco Lotus shopping centre. I arrived very late and the one staff was very helpful. I booked the larger Superior room for 760 baht and it was really nice. The bathroom was clean and modern with an enclosed shower. A hot water kettle and coffee were available. The breakfast was very good. WiFi worked well. However the TV had few English stations and only the indigestible Fox News. There is also a parking lot.

We stayed here for 3 night just after New Year. Hotel is in a good location next to Shopping Mall and a short walk to local market & Mekong River. A reasonable nightly rate with breakfast included. The receptionist was really helpful and efficient but the Hotel was obviously past its best not just because lack of guests / coffee shop etc due to covid .... in the room itself I can honestly say that the mattress on the bed was the worst and most uncomfortable of any hotel I have ever stayed at in my life ! very hard and lumpy probably the original from when hotel was built and I had bites from numerous bed bugs ! Lighting in the room was not bright enough just a couple of small yellow bulb wall lights - toilet had a job refilling at times but a nice powerful shower and breakfast was ok.

The hotel service is very good. Call to inquire and give clear directions. In terms of clean rooms, pillows, fabrics, blankets are clean and very fragrant. The care of the hotel is good. Breakfast in the hotel part is not, but there is tea. Free coffee. In the breakfast section, there is a shop in front of the hotel. Delicious wet rice, Tom Yum is very delicious. Pan-fried egg tastes good. Porridge with minced pork is very delicious. If traveling to Nong Khai, will come back to stay again.

Location/ about a 10–15-minute walk into town along a promenade on the banks of the Mekong or there is generally a tuk-tuk waiting outside the front of the hotel Room/ was comfortable enough with a fridge, safe and bathroom with walk-in shower but lacked finishing touches and attention to detail. Safe wasn’t working initially but soon rectified, only one chair on balcony for 2 people, bathroom door difficult to close, one key card for 2 people, house keeping not great, screws sticking out of walls etc etc Breakfast/ the best thing at this hotel is the food. Excellent buffet breakfast with really friendly service, served 6.30am to 10am, always plenty of it enjoyed either in the very nice breakfast room or outside on a terrace. Egg station cooking eggs to order 4 different ways. General/ lots of secure off-road parking down the side of the hotel and behind. The rooms are in 2 separate blocks adjacent to each other with pool containing fish and seating area between them. Check out the Sky bar on top of one of the 2 blocks. Opens at 3pm and serves good selection of food at reasonable prices with great views over the town, the Mekong and into Laos beyond, great for sunsets. Would I stay here again? Yes, due to location, breakfast and Sky bar

Booked and stayed here with Agoda. Decided to stay here as it was a little more expensive than surrounding hotels. Reception area clean and coffee available. There is a lift to all floors. Room was clean and a little dated. Coffee and water supplied. Bathroom small and needs refurbishment. Door to bathroom would close. Not many power points. 1 at side of 1 bed and 1 near door. Noise from other rooms can be heard. Breakfast was as expected and fair.

Booked and paid with trip.com and got a last minute rate for a room for 2 for less than 700 Baht. Have stayed in another hotel in Nong Khai for 650 Baht with no breakfast and have viewed several other hotels/guesthouses of the same price, so to me this is the better deal where we can swim. The resort is old and outdated so bed sheets and stuff are old but the value is very good. Breakfast is a simple buffet so I could eat until full with 3 types of fresh fruits, salad, 7 types of foods, pork boiled rice, rice, etc. No boiler in room but guests can use the hot water pot at Reception. Aircon worked well. Glass windows at front. A small glass window at back. Shower room door is opened to outside so it takes up the space of the room. We ate lunch in the Cafe. A huge bowl of soup costs 120 Baht. Rice 20 Baht a dish. Both of us were so full with 160 Baht. Smiling Reception and other staff at the Cafe. Fast check in and fast check out. We booked the room and arrived by tuk tuk about half an hour later and they saw our prepaid booking. I other places we stayed, Reception sometimes asked for the payment since they didn’t notice that the bookings were paid for. I was very happy when I checked in here. They have swimsuits for rent at 60 Baht if you don’t bring yours. They have a weird notice saying you will be fined if you swim with not proper swimsuits. Normally we don’t see this notice in upscale resorts. From Nong Khai train station, cross the street, walk to the right into a small street where you see the resort signage. Turn left and walk for a few minutes. Park & Pool is on you right.

For the price point, an excellent hotel. Friendly helpful staff. The day manager, she went out of her way to make it an enjoyable stay for us, excellent English. The free hotel bikes were a bonus, made getting about so much easier. Don't bother with the bedside charge sockets, I think they feed power back into the grid :) Good breakfast with enough choice for a western meal, one was photo worthy.

One of the finest resort in Thailand! Beats the Failed Marriott Surawongse hands down in terms of Welcoming, Services from the Heart and Accommodating to guests needs! The breakfast is delicious and impressive. The owners are modest, friendly and great people! I stayed in the stand alone bungalow and exclusivity is fantastic! This is the true 5 stars hotel NOT the Marriott Surawongse!

The owner is cute ❤️ Lovely staff ❤️ Complete in one place There is a cafe and a restaurant with the most delicious food. The bed, sheets, blankets are very good. The room smells good. Recommended 👍👍👍 Whoever goes to Nong Khai must stop by. If you don't stop by, you're missing out 🤣

Always a great place to stay, the staff are amazing, helping with ironing and washing my clothes, paid a little extra to stay late in the room (late check out) everything is good. A little bit out of town but still have deliveries, the cafe is also nice.
