Wieng Kaew Hotel

A mixed bag of options

What we say: 3 stars

Tucked away just beyond where route 107 essentially comes to a dead end in the centre of town, Wieng Kaew consists of both a hotel and resort, separated by a few hundred metres. The hotel itself, which is the original institution, is of variable quality at best. While the air-con rooms are quite cosy, the smaller fan rooms – some with hot water and some without – are quite bleak, and the bathrooms (with squat toilets) are particularly grimy and buggy. That said, the budget traveller will appreciate the low costs, and we've certainly seen worse rooms. However, it may be worth heading to the Chok Thani Hotel instead if you plan to stay in a fan room. The resort is a different story. Just up a sidestreet opposite the hotel, it boasts five very new and very attractive bungalows, each of which has air-con, private bath, TV and WiFi. It is a rather relaxing location, with several gardens and a lovely sitting area. The proprietor hopes to set up a restaurant. Overall a good choice, with very friendly staff, though be forewarned that not much English is spoken
