The City Lodge, conveniently located a short walk from Udon Thani train station is simply outstanding value. If you're looking for a small place to stay rather than one of the large hotels then look no further than the City Lodge. The air-con rooms here are immaculate -- kitted out with comfortable beds, TV, IDD phones and fridge and the more expensive rooms are massive. Downstairs is a very good restaurant that does splendid western breakfasts along with lunch and dinner. Staff are very friendly, helpful and English speaking. Recommended.

Good value - 19th June, 2009
Good value budget hotel, 500B a night, clean spacious room with endless hot water and tea/coffee making facilities. One of the staff had excellent English, and all were friendly and helpful. Near all the bars and handy for the train station and the (old) bus station. No complaints about staying here.

Great room, friendly staff - 9th March, 2009
Close to bus, train, night market, mall. I paid 600B for a room at top, nice views, fridge, TV, free water, windows on 2 sides, a/c. Staff were friendly, food was okay but I ate out mostly.

Very good value - 2nd January, 2006
At 500B, what can you expect? Friendly staff, really good Western breakfast. Yum yum. Walking distance to major shopping mall. I was quoted by the owner (young guy) a superior room for 700B. Staff all speak good English.
