This is my preferred hotel in Ubon. Quality rooms and service. Nice buffet breakfast. Convenient to the town centre and for songthaews to the Bus station (B10). The hotel also provides complimentary shuttle to anf from the airport.
Reservation service:
Sawasdee has always provided an efficient service. It would be nice if you could find some way to cut down on the number of email advices it takes to confirn a reservation.

The service in the hotel was pretty poor and we got food poisining from eating in the japanese restaurant. Our sushimi was actually frozen! Breakfast was pretty poor as well. The rooms are fine and big and clean, but I have stayed in guest houses that are much better value for money than this place.
Reservation service:
Fast and efficient, no complaints here.

I have been the fourth time in this hotel. For Ubon Ratchathani, the hotel is most probably the best hotel in town, however for the price, you should expect more from the service. The rooms are ok for the price, clean, reception staff was friendly, however less than in the previous years. Breakfast buffet also lost some points on my scale. Swimming pool would be not bad, but no sun umbrellas. Everybody can see, that nobody takes care about it. All over a good hotel, that has a good reputation as one of the best hotels in a quiet area in UBON. But the hotel management should impove in service, otherwise other hotels will get ahead of the Laithong Hotel very very soon.

Very gracious staff @ comfortable hotel. Excellent breakfast buffet, clean rooms and central location. Free hotel bus to nearby airport. Town has several interesting Wats (temples) and is starting point for day trips to sites along Mekong River.
Reservation service:
Easy booking on WWW but must pay 100% before leaving your home, ie. pre-pay all hotel rooms.WWW site makes paying easy by remembering your reservation numbers.

good value for money,reasonably priced resturant,good if repretative breakfast.
rooms cleaned daily,free airport pick up.
one minus point,the in-house services are priced a litle crazily,1600 baht to wash a few cloths and we tried to hire a car and driver to take us to the local zoo(40km away) we were quoted 1800 bt,ok we thought a little steep for 3 hours max work,but we agreed until they told us we had to pay for the petrol as well.
none the less would recommend.
Reservation service:
efficent as always.

Stayed two nights at the Laithong Hotel, Ubon Ratchatani, during Songkran 2008. Rooms are nice and the hotel is centrally located. Check in was fine but the receptionist behaved strangely by not wanting to talk directly to me, even though the booking was in my name and I addressed her in fluent Thai. She preferred to talk to my Thai wife, who sensing my irritation, walked away forcing the receptionist to talk to the person who was in a position to answer her questions. Breakfast was an unappetising selection of Thai and European food. We took a party of 10 to the Japanese/ Chinese restaurant. The food there was OK but the staff seemed totally untrained and spent most of the time hiding, so that we had to shout to bring them out of hiding whenever we wanted anything. There is free wi-fi in the rooms but during the day time it is overloaded and very difficult to connect with any websites. My wife left a $500 diamond ring in the soap dish in the bathroom by mistake. Two hours after checking out she realised her error and we went back to the hotel to look for it. It was gone and the room maid looked her in the eye and swore blind that she had not seen it - LOL. The Laithong is fine if you want a reasonably priced 3 star in the middle of town and don t expect good restaurants, efficient wi-fi or honest staff.

Booking online via ubonratchatanihotels.com went smoothly.

Accommodation and facilities:
Excellent hotel with a superb standard of service. They put on an extraordinary breakfast and a buffet at lunch time which has to be experienced to be believed. Did not know about buffet until I had been there two days as it is not advertised in English that I could see. Make friends with tuk tuk driver across the road. If you go out at night make sure you have arranged travel home. No taxis and tuk-tuks are rare or non existant at night Do not miss Asoke Ratchathani about 5 kilometres away. Self sufficient fundamentalist Buddhist village and they are all vegetarians living in large Chinese boats!! Hotel was great and I strongly recommend it.
