Sakon Nakhon Province hotels & accommodations
Not for one that’s claustrophobic. Who designs room without any windows? I mean look, a dinosaur could be eating your car parked below without you even knowing it. Now the really good points which I will begin with, was the linen and bed were very comfortable to sleep in. There were 2 bears pleasantly placed on the bed for me to hug in my sleep, which was probably why ...
The staff were very attentive and pleasant. We loved the gym. They have 2 swimming pools. There wasn’t hot water in the shower. They quickly gave us a free upgrade to the newer building. I loved there was a beautiful tree right in a short distance and no direct neighbors. Sakon Nakhon is a great friendly city too.
outside of hotel may need a coat of paint but the inside of the hotel was excellent.staff were very helpful when you asked about anything and if they did not know the answer they would find out for you.the location of the hotel was perfect for our purpose as it is not very far from the centre of sakon nakhon so it was quite quiet most of the time. the resturant is very...
lovely hotel. lovely staff. the only problem is that it's hard to find especially when using Google maps in English. the hotel itself has nothing in English not even the room numbers which is difficult when you go back to the hotel late at night and can't remember where your room is. the breakfast is super Thai style - not even a knife to spread butter on your toast....
My stay in The Majestic Sakon Nakhon Hotel was very convenient and easily accessible to all kinds of places and services in the city. The hotel is situated in the city centre hence making it very easy to find. The food was exceptionally good in addition the staff were also readily in providing assistance. The only thing that should be improved is their wifi which could...
First impressions are important. Regrettably, the first impression of U-Hotel, Sakon Nakhon is poor. On being presented with an Agoda voucher the hotel’s reception the staff went into a private huddle. One then left reception before returning to inform us that they didn’t have a booking in my name for two nights in a Deluxe Double-bed room. Have never encountere...

The staff are outstanding at this basic but economical hotel. The reception is pleasant and professional, the rooms are basic but cleaned well, and there is 24-hour reception and security.. Simple hotel design works - bright and air, rooms have a desk and shelf for luggage. The beds are firm. Location is within easy walking distance of dozens of restaurants, Big C...
The Color Ville Resort is actually more of a motor inn than a typical resort. Even so, it was a wonderful place for my wife, daughter, and I to stay. Each room is its own building, built in the style of a barn. There was always one staff person present who spoke English whenever we needed to talk. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to any special request we...
Staffs here were very kind and helpful : ) The location was far from Saint Michael Cathedral and the main road had no pavements so it was kinda dangerous to walk. Travellers that had no cars should beware that public transportations here were not available late at night.
We had 2 nice days in Sakhon Nakhon. The owner was very helpful to order and tailormake a one day private sightseeing trip around Sakhon Nakhon. Staff would benefit from more English practice, but was nice and helpful. Quiet and nice location just out of town centre.
I stayed in Esan Country House only for one night and I regret that I could not stay longer. Everything in this place is made with much love and awareness. I loved the beautiful small garden and the beautiful room (Lilawadee) very much. The mattress is excellent and the shower is very good. Although close to the airport the resort is very quiet. Very helpful and nice i...
The last time we stayed, the owner called to the reception and we got an upgrade at a big discount (this was before the hotel was on Agoda.) Assuming similar arrangements could be made we made reservations directly thru Agoda. The Superior room, even though it said was for 2 people (and we requested special requirements), it only had single beds, very hard. Were tol...
Nice Resort and free Coffee and Jok (congee) for Breakfast
I was looking for a cheap place to spend the night, and for the price I paid I wasn't expecting much. What a surprise! The room was bigger than I expected, and had about everything you would expect at a higher-priced hotel, including a TV, AC, and Wifi (I don't remember if there was a fridge). It was also very clean and tidy, and everything worked well. As far as locat...
If you find yourself out here you will do no wrong in staying here. If you find yourself here you obviously have tour own arrangements for transport. It is family owned and run. My Thai wife called the number given with the booking (son) and was given another for the general manager (father). The establishment is new. The chalets have not long been completed and alth...
They call it a villa,i call it a room.very basic at best,no side lamps,doors dont close properly.shower you had to run around to get wet and right next to the toilet which is ridiculous.no kettle to make a coffe,honestly i could go on but to be fair it was pretty cheap but could be so much better with a little more thought..oh and enjoy all the lizards running all over...
there is a 10 bahtntruck bus nearby going into the city, 10km away. once i figured that out, i didn;t feel stranded. the staff drov me the 1/2 km to it and picked me up later. they had free wifi but didn't know the access password. i also got a great thai breakfaxr delivered to my cabin. it would be a perfext getaway for a couple, expecially if one of them spoke th...
What I did not like was that the TV was only in Thai with about 6 channels. I am used to English T.V. when I stay in hotels in Thailand and Laos, but I am a full time Thai resident, a Native Canadian working and living in Thailand.
we always stay here when we are in that region of Thailand. It is set in pleasant surroundings, the rooms are spacious and clean (the bed is a bit hard for me) and the restaurant is great (this time, not all the menu was available)!
I have never been staying in Sakon Nakorn before. I book this hotel according to the size and appearance of the room from the picture on Agoda website. Room interior design is nice but outside is like in the middle of no where. Too ling grass yard and messy garden. No big tree, very hot during the day. But this is very quiet place and good for sleeping.
Not good. Bed rock hard. A breakfast was included but consisted of rice soup only. The main problem was that the bathroom had no ventilation whatsoever! No window, nothing. The fan that normally evacuates dampness and smells from a bathroom, sits on a wall in the bedroom! Incredible. Imagine the condensed smell after a few hours after using the toilet and shower. We a...
5 km from the airport.The room was clean and really good for me.There was the market across from the hotel on Monday,Thursday and Saturday. Taxi from hotel to airport 120 THB only.I will stay again when I'm in Sakon Nakhon.
So calm and peaceful atmosphere for rest. And it is not far from Airport. So nice staff who have taken care of us all the time we've been here. So I need to recommend you to be here.
There is no front desk for this small hotel, but owner is very friendly and accommodating and lives on site. Room and furnishings appear new, room is adequately sized, well lit and while bathrooom is on small size, there is nice shower with dual shower heads. Hotel is on outskirts so you will need to take tuk tuk into city center, walkable if you are fit and wanted e...
