Hotels near The Pier Market - Sadet Pier

I read poor reviews for this hotel in the past but recently it has undergone extensive refurbishment and new management. We stayed in VIP room and it is roomy and comfortable. Staff are very friendly and helpful. There is free Wi-Fi and connection is reliable but a little slow. Some negatives about the room: 1. Shower area very small (but water pressure is good and temperature of shower remains constant). 2. Not too many power sockets is you wish to plug in laptop / phones etc. 3. Small variety offered at breakfast but the quality is good. 2. No in room safety box.

This hotel has been operating for less than 6 months. So, it is bright and beautiful. The staff is very nice and courteous. There was some mistake upon checking in. I booked for a superior room for 2 persons and a standard room for 1 person. At first, I was given 2 standard rooms. I asked the clerk to check and the problem was promptly rectified. The superior room we got was at the top floor. The room was very big with 2 twin beds that were comfortable. I found the furniture arrangement to be rather awkward i.e. the bench space provided for the luggage was too small. You could not fit anything bigger than 20 inches on it. I heard from my friend in the standard room that it was fine there. The bathroom was big with shower only, no bathtub. Again, the arrangement of the washbasin was a bit awkward. You end up standing 45 degree to the mirror, not in front. The breakfast was adequate. I feel this hotel is very nice but definitely not a 4 stars hotel. There was an unfinished main road in front of the hotel. This road led to the Thai-Loas Friendship Bridge. It took around 5-minute drive in a car to get to the old market town center area.

The hotel and its staff are excellent. It a nice, new, and clean facility. Its location is convenient to city center, markets and the Friendship Bridge. Rooms are simple and comfortable. Restaurant is good, and the rooftop bar and bistro is excellent...and provides one of the best views of Nong Khai and the Mekong River. You would have a difficult time finding a better place to stay in or around Nong Khai.

I will start with the only con and thats the wifi its not so great especially if you need it for business apart from this the hotel is great i live in nong khai and had to use this hotel ive used many hotels in nong khai and this is by far the best. The breakfast is a thai breakfast but as long as it fills your belly thats fine with me, the rooms are immaculate the tv is all in thai but who books a room to watch tv all day when there is a beautiful garden and pool to relax by. The food in the restaurant is also very nice with western food and thai food. I must mention that the 2 ladies that do the breakfast food are very pleasant amd always smiling its a hard job working in the kitchen i know as i am a chef so big credit to those women especially working in that heat.

I LOVE this hotel. If this room was in New York City it would cost about $300 USD. The room design is not normal Thai, in any way. I was told their home office is in the tourist south and this explains how they have such a great design. The room is very modern, very clean, very comfortable and very nice. The hotel is 10 minutes walk to the border and for 80 baht per day you can leave your car in their parking lot (just talk to the staff before you check-out). I wish they had this hotel chain in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, the other places I travel in Thailand. I can't believe this hotel is located in Nong Khai. The room is as nice and nicer than the photos. It's a very good value, no make that an EXCELLENT value. My feedback to the hotel is that their breakfast choices are odd and overly Asian-themed. Instead of a buffet we were given a short menu of northern style breakfast. To their credit they did make a western breakfast for me when I asked, so in the end I was happy. And to clarify, western breakfast to me means eggs in some manner, toast or something like it, and milk or juice. This hotel's coffee blend, oddly, is superb -- a blend they ship in from their main hotel in the south. Their coffee is very close to the rich chocolate-like flavor of true Vietnamese coffee (which is hard to find in Thailand, and amazing in taste). Overall I would give this hotel a rating of 9 out of 10, and I am no easy rater of hotels. I've stayed all over the world and this is one of those fun and amazing surprises that you find once in a while while traveling. Thanks Tanzeno for a great stay!

stayed for four days, great value for money, room was big, with lcd tv, clean, comfortable bed, bathroom was nice, wifi included and works perfectly. the staff was friendly, and the hotel is close to the main road, yet very quiet, two blocks from tha sadet market and the megonk river, restaurants, bars and shops close by. only con was that on the 3rd day there was no hot water, but i didn't bother to let them know, as it was very hot and i like cold shower, so, not sure how they would have dealt with the issue.

I visited the hotel with my wife during the off-season, the price was very good. I was very happy with the hotel. The room was nice and with a nice view and balcony. I had a hire car which I was advised to park in a rough parking lot opposite the hotel. I was very uneasy about parking there as there were large buses and a taxi rank there and very few cars! My hire car had a bump on the roof one day and I took it to a local panel beater, he advised me it was done probably by hand! I suspect it was done on purpose because I was parking in the bus/taxi area, however, I can't be sure! If you are driving, I would insist on not having to park outside of the main hotel, they will make room for you as I discovered later! PS: Taxi's and public transport people are not to be messed with in Thailand. The Thai mafia is involved with a lot of these organizations in Phuket!

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Everything was new. The hotel and rooms are beautifully decorated. The balcony/terrace outside each room was great. The area around the pool had lots of shade and places to sit and relax amongst the orchids and palms. The hotel restaurant served good Thai food. The best thing was the smiling, friendly, helpful staff. They had limited English but were always trying to please us. The hotel is a bit out of town so a tuk-tuk or taxi ride is needed. For us the only problem was that the bed was very hard.

wonderful little hotel a little bit outside of the centre of nong khai. quiet and peaceful. very stylish house and garden, built to the visions of the owner of the house. the owner and staff do anything to make the visitor feel as being a part of the family. the owner speaks english very well, due to a long stay overseas. the food that this hotel serves is also a1 ! you´ll get specialties from thailand in common, the isaan in special, from laos, from vietnam...... as well for breakfast as for dinner. high quality. when you like loud music, many bars in the vicinity and nightlife as you know it from phuket, pataya of bangkok, this is definitely not the hotel of choice for you. when you like the view on the gentle flowing mighty river mekong, when you like it being treated as a good friend of the family, when you like it being, when you like it quiet, watching catfishes in the water oder precious plants growing on trees - then this house should be your first choice when staying in nong khai. i give this house 5 stars.

the hotel is very new,when i got of plane at udon thani mini bus drivers had never heard of it he then took me in to town and droped me at the wrong hotel and drove of i then had to pay a tuktuk driver to take me to modern inn but he didnot know where it was.the hotel is listed as being in nong khai city centre it is not u have to get a tuktuk into town,they need to tell bus drivers/taxi/tuktuk drivers where the hotel is ,my stay was fine room very clean staff very limited english

My first impression upon arriving at the hotel was that it seemed abandoned. My second impression was that reminded me of my first car - a Buick Regal. It was a luxury car but came at an inexpensive price due to age taking it's toll so that it was no longer a luxury experience. At some point, a luxury hotel decides whether it will try to maintain high standards, or if it will give up. Feels like this one gave up. So, the positive side is that the price is low, and if you keep your expectations low you won't be disappointed. If "feeling" or aesthetics (or stains) are not important to you then this hotel is fine. The staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful.

Nong Khai doesn't get a great deal of tourist traffic, its chief claim to fame being that it's one end of the Friendship Bridge connecting Thailand and Laos. That said, one could easily while away a couple of pleasant days in this sleepy riverside town, where excellent food, great massages and plenty of greenery are all readily available. Should you choose to do so, the Royal Mekong Nong Khai Hotel can provide an intriguing experience to be sure. Nearly empty during my late September stay (as it apparently is most of the time), the hotel offered perhaps the largest room I've ever stayed in, complete with a fine view of the Mekong River and Laos just across it, a huge swimming pool, plenty of places to sit and relax and a truly satisfying American-style breakfast. I am told that the Royal Mekong is up for sale, alas, which isn't surprising considering how few guests it seems to attract; those of you heading for Nong Khai are advised to pay it a visit while you still can.
