Irish Clock, nice, well appointed, restaurant, street parking, Only 8 or 10 rooms 850B

or Top Mansion, spartan but clean, parking lot, ~75 rooms 350B

Both on the same street about 100 meters apart. Both have websites.

Many bars within walking distance -- can't miss 'em.

Stayed at Charoensri Grand in Udon a couple of times. I think the price was about 1800-2000 baht. The hotel is good but mostly it´s situated right smack in the middle of where the action is. It´s just next door to Robinson´s and the only "Bar area" I ever found in Udon. Number is +66 42 34 35 55

Charoensri Grand Royal -- It's been renamed Centara and is crumbling as we speak. Five years ago I might have agreed with you, but it's no longer good value. It does have a swimming pool, if that's important to a guest.

Stayed there (Centara Hotel) about ten days ago for one night, paid 1200 baht, as the previous poster says great location but starting to look very tired. The price did not include breakfast, no great shakess as we wre leaving early anyway.

Lot of people swear by Ruk Suy (spelling) guest house about 350-400 baht a night. Nothing is really too far in Udon.

Best Regards

. . . and the fish pie is supreme.

Very good pub/restaurant and a credit to it's owner who I met once, briefly and is a very nice chap.

Want good and cheap, no frills but clean, en-suite bathroom, rooms cleaned very well each day, many rooms with king bed. Restaurant okay too. Friendly staff.

Few minutes by car or 10 minute walk to centre of town.

Have stayed there several times over last few years, last time in February this year, price near to 400 Baht.

Baht buses pass by every few minutes.

Well it´s three years since I been to Udon. Things change remarkably quick in Thailand. Still great location.

No offence to Udon residents, but I could not see the attraction of the place. Thought it was a very run down city. Not there often mind so such brief impressions could be wrong.

I guess so. People seem to rave about the place.

I got to Udon regullary when I am back in Thailand to stock up my supples from Tesco.

I used to stay in some of the more expensive hotels Centra etc, but I have now found its fare better staying at Top Manison, clean comfortable cheap rooms, car parking and easy access to top up on some Farrang food.

Still close to everything.

Great for stocking up your Freezer also if you go to Nobbis. Great T Bone steaks

Top Mansion..................You must like a very hard mattress?

I agree a total s*** hole. The only good thing about it is the Irish Clock and Robinsons

[blackcountryboing]

Udon is ok for a quick escape and catch up on supplies.. yeah the matress is hard. I'm not a skin flint, the so called top hotels in Udon do not offer anything good for the money.
