Ratchathani Hotel

A good central option

A very centrally-located hotel, the Ratchathani gets a fair share of small tour groups coming through along with a generous serving of independent travellers. The rooms are not bad value, they are clean and while not huge are adequate in size with spotless bathrooms. Management can arrange car hire and other travelling needs. The Ratchathani is well-located for local restaurants and the night market.

Ratchathani Hotel reviews

Read 6 opinions from Travelfish readers

Not good value - 24th May, 2009
For the price, this place is terrible value. While the lobby appearance with bell-hop and fully uniformed staff is obviously going for the chic urban vibe, the rooms are simply not impressive. We took the fan room first for 450 baht and the foam matress beds were super uncomfortable, the bathroom featured a bunch of rotting wood on the walls, and the tiny fan did very little in the way of cooling. So, we moved to the 750 baht A/C room and while this was a little better, I've stayed at comparable rooms for 350 baht less in other Isan cities. Laundery service must be 80 b./kilo - our small bag cost 345 baht (used to it being no more than 150). The restaurant is pricey too, but the food is actually quite good. The night market across the street is great.

Decent - 15th March, 2008
Checked in here with a smiling helpful staff and found myself in a clean basic room. Even had a small television. There are some other options of better value in town, have to ask around to find them. But this place is good, I enjoyed my stay here.

Central, good value - 5th December, 2007
From the outside The Ratchathani looks more expensive than it is, and the service is also very good. The rooms themselves are not that special, but a good deal for 650B for twin air-con. As mentioned, the central location is great with the night market right across the street. Overall, a fine option to stay at in Ubon.

Clean - 8th February, 2007
We had a similar experience to the post below, clean room, TV, soft bed. The restaurant is quite good but the night market around the corner is the place to find a bite to eat. As a bonus this hotel offers free wifi to customers, so if you have a laptop and your just coming in from rural Lao this may be a good place to catch up on some news from back home. Worked for us. There is also a lift.

Good location - 18th December, 2005
The room I stayed in was a bit old and worn but it was perfectly adequate and clean. The bathroom had hot water; the room included a tv and a noisy fan. The bed was soft (a rarity) and comfortable. I liked the location of this hotel - it is not far from the (helpful) TAT office and at about 5pm a mini-night market springs up over the road. The National Museum and park are also very close and worth a visit.

A very good balance - 24th February, 2009
Just one night, but it was a pleasant experience. Very helpful staff who easily forgave my rudimentary Thai. Super clean room and bathroom, and great air-con. The on-site reseraunt was well patronised mid-week...a good sign. A very good value option. I will stay there again in September 2009.
