If they'd just turn on the AC this place may be somewhat better. Was probably an awesome place in its prime about 100 years ago. How many hotels do you walk into where its 38C and they don't have the AC on and all for a few bucks. I would think that this is one of the reasons this place... More

Our family stayed there for one night but it was enough. Our room was dirty and needed re-decorating. Even the TV didn't have a remote control? Terrible food, the worst of all was the service. Staff were rude and unhelpful. I would stay away.

I stayed this "Karin" hotel in Udon Thani on 2012/05/29-2012/05/30 for a night. Because Tuk-Tuk drivers don't understand the English pronunciation well, the route map with the street names/Hotel telephone number shown to them would be recommended in case. My twin bed room rate per night is THB 450 (Double bed (One large bed) room is more expensive). Strong hot... More

I have stayed in Karin's many times, it was the first place I found when arrived Udon in 2006. Hotel is situated central and are nice and quiet. Problem with it is that owners not did any renovations during last 20 years... Most bathrooms are old and used... Another thing is the air condition. It's a hotel for mosquito millions... More

The Karin is still a great stand by.It is not expensive at 440 baht and still has the look of a good value hotel.The rooms are dated and not getting the attention they should,however. I would suspect the hotel will get an upgrade at some point in time in the future. TV's are old but channel selection is good.Bathrooms are... More

There are two prices for rooms. 700 baht (21USD) in the new building will get a large room with ensuite and fridgid aircon. 400 baht (12USD) will get you a smaller room in the main building. This is a 2/3 star hotel. Don't expect more and, as always, protect your personal gear. Lobby has WiFi and loads of mosquitoes at... More

Living in Issan Thailand, I often stop in Udon Thani before traveling into Laos for Holidays.. I look for hotels that offer basic amenities, clean rooms, quiet, and nice staff -- all at a fair price. As of 2011, when I rent a standard room (with no breakfast), I now pay about 500thb / $15.00 for a room in the... More

this place is to be avoided, dirty. bad service. cockroaches, lousy food, a , noisy, staff unhelpful

I stayed there for 4 nights while visiting a friend marrying a Thai girl. For the price, it's not bad, the room is quite big and clean, provided you request a room in the NEW building at the back. Also very quiet. The lobby is infested with mosquitos at night time though, and it's the only place you can get... More
