Napalai Hotel is located close to the airport. There are a free shuttlebus to and from the hotel. A tuk tuk to the city center takes only a few minutes. Or around 15 minutes by using your feet.
The rooms are actually in need of an upmake. But still good enough. If you want to use your laptop, be sure to stay on a floor with wireless. (Not all the floors have connection) The topfloors have excellent views around.
I love the big pool! It's really big, blue and refreshing. You can do laps there as well as letting your kids play around in the shallow part. Probably the best pool in Udon Thani.
The breakfastbuffet is served until 10 am and of good standard. I haven't tried the restaurang at night yet though. Friendly and profesionell staff at the reception. There are safetyboxes for free use. Late checkout is no problem :-)
Just across the street there's a nightspot called The Western Pub. A good place to drink and listen to a live band playing good old songs that surely have touched your ears before. The local patrons usually arrives quite late. Well worth a visit. And it's so easy to make it back home...
There are cheaper and also more expensive hotels in town. But I reckon that Napalai Hotel gives very good value for your money. And it has a handy location.
