A disappointing experience
Overall very disappointed. Based on the reviews left by many previous customers, we were excited about the chance to stay at the Paradise. However I'm afraid we will most definitely be looking for other options should we return to Udon Thani.
Positives:
- location is central within a healthy walking distance to Central
- spacious car parking (we didn't use :-))
- breakfast was one highlights of the stay. Mixture of both local and western options, ordered off the menu. Unlimited toast (and strawberry 🍓 jam, 😋)
Negatives: (sorry for list but for full transparency, here goes)
- overall everything is dark, depressing and in urgent need of update. The pool is small and unswimmable (green with bits floating in it). The one smallish elevator seemed to have the 3rd floor button permanently lit up and needed multiple encouragement to go to requested floor
- There seemed to be fire on the second floor a year ago. Whilst the area is cordoned off inside, the aftermath of the fire is in plain site from outside. Unsure what the repair plans are but it added to the overall feeling of despair
- The room is a good size but the linen (pillow, towels etc) were stained and dirty. Fridge had stuff from previous customer and the TV didn't work. On a positive note, they quickly found us another room. Thank you
- lastly there was a leak in the washroom sink or pipes. By this time, it was late and we were tired from our experience so we sacrificed our towel to clean up after brushing teeth etc
