Hotels near Smile Restaurant, Khon Kaen

Even though the Avani Khon Kaen Hotel has been open for years, the overall facilities and service don't feel old or dated at all; my experience exceeded expectations! I pre-booked the airport transfer service over the phone, which was paid but reasonably priced. Upon arrival, the staff proactively helped me take my luggage to my room. The elevator requires a key card to reach your floor, ensuring maximum privacy and security. There aren't many commercial areas around the hotel, making for a quiet and peaceful environment, but the internal dining options are incredibly diverse. The breakfast selection was perfectly suited to my taste, offering a wide variety of local Northeastern Thai Khon Kaen specialties. The outdoor pool area is very relaxing, perfect for unwinding during downtime. This stay, I was assigned a city view room, and I'm a little bit disappointed I didn't get to experience one of the popular lake view rooms. Whether you're traveling with family, on a business trip, or just for a short getaway, this hotel is perfectly suited for all, and I highly recommend it overall! Just across the alley, there's also a great coffee shop called Coffee 34, which was my favorite spot during university – it's truly a decade-old establishment.

The room was clean and smelled fresh, not musty. The bed was soft. The bathroom had a separate toilet and shower, but the room itself was a bit small. Parking was very limited. The price was okay, and the atmosphere was good. You can walk to Central Campus. The room felt new, like the building was recently constructed.

I've stayed here probably 3-4 times. It's quite convenient when traveling with elderly people. There's a dining counter with chairs, which is great because some in our group can't sit on the floor. The amenities are complete – a fridge and microwave, very convenient. The bathroom is clean. Sharing the cost at 700-800 baht per person is good value. The breakfast is delicious with many options and a coffee machine. There's a big TV with Netflix, but I'm not sure if it's in every room.

Came to Khon Kaen for 4 days and stayed at this hotel. The location is excellent; it's very close to cafes and restaurants by car. The staff provided great service.

The location is great, in the heart of the city. There is a Shopping mall 15 minutes walking distance from the hotel. The gym is great for a good workout. They should offer water. The rooms are ok, mine has no good view. There are no electrical plugs by the bed. There is no free bottled water in the room. I did not enjoy breakfast, too much pasta, rice and boiled saussages and not quality dishes. The pool is nice for a short swim.

There are 3 room types available here. Those are quite new, clean, and well decorated. The hotel is located one of the prime location in Korat, where you can easily drive into downtown or to M6 toward Bangkok. There are also free parking lots for hotel customer.

Room is quite ok. Parking building is available. Small reception area. Small areas for sitting in the garden for morning coffee. Old green garden but not fresh in this summer. Many restaurants for breakfast and dinner in walking distance.

Great location wallking distance to Central Plaza and bar area. Very friendly staff. Comfortable bed and good aircon. There is a restaurant in the hotel but I did not actually eat there. No bad vibes but had other favorite places. Good price for what you get. I have stayed there 3 times and will do so again.

The reviews weren't great, but when I actually went, it wasn't bad at all. The room wasn't huge, but it had all the amenities, the bathroom was clean, and the bed was comfortable. When I stayed, there was nothing really negative. The AC was cold, and they even provided an extra fan. The breakfast buffet was the best! The laab (spicy minced meat salad) was delicious, especially with rice. They also had congee, fruit, salad, and bread. The hotel is located right behind Central Khon Kaen Campus. It was still under construction when I visited, but now that it's finished, it must be super convenient. I'm worried the prices will go up, haha! If I go back, I'd definitely want to stay here again. Highly recommended!

The room is great — clean, comfortable, and well-designed. The atmosphere is relaxing, and everything feels thoughtfully prepared. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
