Bra hotell dålig frukost
Pros:

Frukosten den sämsta jsg fått på 33 år i Thailand. Rummet är ok rent hårda sängar .
Bra Hotell men fel pris satt. När man bokar online så är det dyrare än gå rakt in.
De ligger mot likvärdiga hotell, i en högre prisklass än de är värda. Stannar 1 natt sen annat hotell.

Très vieux, problème d’hygiène et d’entretien
Pros:

Hôtel vieillot sans entretien du tout. Problème d’hygiène car seules les surfaces horizontales sont nettoyées (sol, lavabo, sanitaire) mais pas les verticales (murs sales avec des projections dessus que ce soit dans la chambre ou la salle du petit déjeuner, portes d’accès à la cuisine pleines de graisses des mains des équipes). Petit déjeuner sans saveur et trop simple pour des occidentaux. Piscine à l’ombre et eau froide et peu accueillante. Il y avait un bar qui n’existe plus. Mal insonorisé. Le lit est bien avec matelas King size mais sur une planche de bois!! 5 jours là dessus… lunette des toilettes à changer, pas d’eau chaude au lavabo. Personnel de ménage très sympa, personnel de l’accueil pas souriant du tout… TV minuscule, les chaînes affichées sur la feuille ne sont pas les bonnes, aucune chaîne internationale, WIFI de très mauvaise qualité

Very Good value with Nice Rooms & Friendly Staff
Pros:

I recently stayed here for 6 nights - A large well equipped room with breakfast for 800+ baht per night including breakfast represented excellent value for money. The hotel was fairly quiet as was the local area because on the effects of Covid on local trade & tourism. The staff at the Hotel were always smiling and took the time to say hello and ordered us a taxi very quickly on a couple of occasions. Breakfast was ok although a little sparse for western tastes but at the price no complaints. Good selection of channels on the TV & always hot water in the shower. No restaurant/bar/coffee shop currently open which was a shame. Would definetely stay here again and they have a nice swimming pool as well

A good value choice for Khon Kaen!
Pros:

We stayed at the Mantra Varee for 1 night in May 2019 when visiting the Green Market. We did think that it would be within walking distance to the market but on advice of hotel staff we used a taxi for the short drive!

Following a swift check in with the very pleasant staff we were lead to our superior room. Having paid only £16 (with a small promo included) I was instantly surprised at how big it was! In fact every aspect of the room was better than I expected for the price. Stylish decor with a decent bed, shower and wifi. Small negatives would be not a fat lot of storage if staying for more than a couple of days and then there was the bed surround. Looked good but a bit faffy and meant you had to get out of bed twice, visit and you'll see what I mean!

On exploring the location of the hotel there's not a great deal in the close proximity. There is a 7-11 roughly 200 yards away and if you walk for 11 minutes you reach the neat little Fairy Mall. We had a mooch here and ate some really decent food in the court.

The hotel has a pool and gym, neither of which I got to use but I took a look. The pool was pleasant looking for a quick dip but not really big enough for lengths. The gym was what I would call a token gym ie. small and poorly equipped.

We did eat breakfast at the Mantra Varee and I would describe it as very so so. There is very limited choice on offer at the buffet. I had rice soup which was bland and unseasoned. There is a 'nespresso' style machine for coffee with buttons to select all manner of fancy coffees but whatever you press you end up with watery black coffee! I wouldn't choose breakfast as an option unless it was included!

On the whole, the Mantra Varee is a good budget choice with an ok location and friendly staff. I would stay here again.

Pros:

We stayed here since there wasn’t many options in the city. It is dated, but the customer service was nice. Breakfast was good and the room was clean. The area is okay but still a ways from things. Good restaurants around.

Great hotel with good staff
Pros:

It is a good hotel in a good town. The room and services were excellent and beyond expected. The pool a bit tiny but my little baby enjoyed it. Breakfast was delicious and optional. I really like this hotel and would like to recommend. See you soon.

Reasonable for what it has to offer.
Pros:

Went to Mantra Varee just last weekend for 1 night. Big room, with huge bed, great bathroom, lcd cabletv, swimming pool, air-con, quiet, close to the lake.

The breakfast was also good and available til 10 AM. Thats great if you want to sleep a bit longer without missing the morning coffee.

The staff was super cute and helpful any time.

Overall, we can recommend this great place to anyone who wants to stay at a nice place with a pool for a reasonable price.

Only 1 negative is WIFI was not stable

Great value hotel
Pros:

Stayed here after our holiday to Phuket as a stopover before returning home to Sichomphu. For 1000bt including breakfast this was a great choice.
Spacious room, good bathroom and air con! Wifi was stable and strong too.
Reception staff were efficient and speedy.
Breakfast was ample and varied.
Would stay again:)
Lots of eateries around the hotel, but we got a taxi to Tonn tam market and came back and had some drinks at Lannai bar restaurant.
Pool was large enough plus there was a limited gym as well.
Thank you :)

Convenient and Flexible Services
Pros:

I been stay with Mantra Varee for 1 night. Hotel overall is clean and nice. Room is big and bed is very comfort to sleep. I requested for early check-in and got a good feedback that they can provide me for a room.

There is a restaurant in front of hotel and hotel itself is convenient to travel out in the town by car.

Will be back soon....
