Loei Palace Hotel

We stayed 2 nights in this big hotel en enjoyed every minute of our stay. The room and the bathroom are spacious and clean. The water pressure in the shower is very good. The wifi is very fast, even faster than at home. The breakfast is perfect: enough choices of European and Asian food and you can take it from 6 to 10 am. We ordered roomservice for dinner and the food was very good and reasonably priced. The pool is very nice and located on the second floor. The hotel is located next to a public garden and on walking distance from shops and restaurants. Normally we stay in family-run hotels or B&B’s, but in bigger cities we sometimes choose a big hotel. We are very glad we took the decision to stay in the Loei Place hotel because we had a perfect stay.

The hotel was easy to navigate to from the airport. The room was huge. Literaly more than half the floorspace as my house. Pool looked nice but at the end of January it was too cold to go in. Right next to the hotel is a park that a lot of locals use for running, walking and other exercise. Walk over the bridge by the hotel, cross the street and 30 meters to the right is a road dedicated to street food booths. There’s also a brewery there with a good selection of beer on tap. Hotel breakfast was okay. Buffet if there are a lot of customers or if not then a choice of Thai or western breakfast.

The international type of breakfast was very pleasing and had enough basics and variety. For the price. The hotel is definitely deserving the definition of palace by it’s past grandeur and size which when this building was designed in the 1950’s must have been the best of it’s kind and still is, in a Thai provincial setting. The update of bathroom facility in this hotel has been well thought. While the quality wood furniture now adds to its typical period charm. The wel kept swimming pool certainly deserves a dip, not to forget the surrounding park which is worth a peaceful stroll leading to the river nearby.

This is my second stay at this hotel and I cannot fault it. The entire hotel is clean and beautifully decorated. I will be using it again

Breakfast was great. The location by the public gardens, river, night food-market--was fantastic! Wonderful pool, too. The manager and staff were all very kind and helpful!
