Klang Muang at Nong Khai — Hotel in Nong Khai Province

Filthy and ant infested

I booked two rooms for two nights in this hotel for 3 Jan 2025. One for wife and me, the other room for our daughter and her friend.

Firstly our room's shower hot water heater was broken. We were given another room and the water run warm-ish but clearly the heating unit was on it's last leg too. (controls wobbly and warm water only possible with very low pressure)

Then when our daughter and friend were getting to bed they noticed the beds in their room were full of little ants. When we alerted the receptionist she insisted that the ants were somehow our fault?? Considering we just checked in that evening I didn't really know how to respond to that... She then suggested that the ants could be wiped out of the sheets and that would resolve the issue! I wonder would she herself like to go to that bed. Anyway, after some heated negotiations she reluctantly agreed to change that room too. But she was not happy to help us.

We used one small hand towel on the floor onto which we stepped out from the shower, as you do. However, when checking out they charged us 200 baht hecause the towel got dirty on the floor. And that part is true, the floor was really dirty. Clearly not properly wiped or cleaned for a long time. I thought that was actually funny - they didn't clean their rooms and charged us money because because of that.

The hotel was like a joke scketch from a TV comedy, or from a hidden camera show. Not funny at the time, though.

Worst....

I only made this place average because that fact is it does not have a lift.||It was roughly forty steps up to the room lugging a bag up.||The rooms here are quite small however ok for an overnight stay. I would commend the hotel on its cleanliness and comfort too with the bed.||I had a good nights sleep here and didn’t notice any noise in the night, however in the morning I realised there was a lot of noise filtering into the room as other guests were leaving and as the cleaners started so don’t expect a lay in even though the check out is at midday.||It has a small room offering a cofffee service however your better off wandering up or down the road to find a a breakfast.||Parking was easy when I got here at two, however looks quite limited if you were a late arrival.||They also wanted a 300 baht refundable deposit.||Overall it was value for money and pretty central for most things...

Worst sleep ever. The bed is not even a mattress, it’s more like a hard mat (like a gym one). Will hurt your back. Not worth it. You can also hear everything from other rooms so you won’t sleep because of the noise either.

Parking is always full so you have to arrive early. Towels smell like humidity. WiFi sucks, don’t expect to use it 👎🏼

There is NO ELEVATOR and no one that can help you bring your luggage upstairs so have that in mind. Avoid large suitcases 👍🏼.

The service at the front desk was good, they were nice and helpful. The breakfast was in a nearby Vietnamese restaurant and was delicious. I would recommend booking somewhere else and going to the Vietnamese restaurant, their lunch and breakfast is great!

The location is...
