an old hotel situated near the lake

I last stayed here 18 years ago & it hasn’t changed much; but I like the “old world charm.”

The hot water is boiling & you do need to be careful

The staff must have been there for centuries & don’t seem terribly interested in you or friendly – if you want to stay, stay, if not never mind. :wtf: The place is a classic. They used to have a hot coffeeshop with singers, but no more; only a soapy massage remains.

But the “beauty” of the place for me is the ground level rooms, park your bike under the car port at the front by the lobby / entrance & walk 15 metres & you can be in your room. No steps or elevators to be lugging luggage up & down. :thumbup:

And located by the lake it is close to some good Thai Pub & Restaurants. :thumbup:

The room rate I paid 500 baht.

Fossicking around in Udon for a good deal, a couple of places I tried for walk in quoting the online price got quick rebuffs with a 250 baht increase.
No bargaining, so I walked out on both establishments & literally went next door to one for the right price.

Keto House

A small unique coffee shop - guesthouse. Quiet, secluded. 3 ? rooms only.
Plus a Keto coffee shop & restaurant - the new fashion.

Clean, compact quiet rooms.

Something different & worth a look in these covid-19 travel times.

I can recommend Kinaree guesthouse (Also known in Thai as Lert Prasaert) near the north side of the airport, off Amphur Road on last road left before the airport--Soi Don Udom. Inexpensive, spacious, well appointed rooms, if not really new. Pool tables and full bar/restaurant downstairs. Food is quite good with farang food as well. Bar has large inventory of beers, ciders, and spirits. Great hosts. Really like this place away from the downtown soi Day-Night area.
