Iyara Lake Hotel And Resort

We stayed at the hotel recently in what is low tourist season for Thailand. The hotel is huge; built on a grand scale with a massive lobby, restaurants etc and a large ornate swimming pool. It has over 300 rooms and often caters for conferences. The only rooms available during the season were the deluxe rooms which were large and well equipped with comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Although for that night, we were the only guests at the hotel (we had booked 2 rooms), there was a full complement of staff i.e. porters, chamber maids, receptionists etc. Everyone made us very welcome. Breakfast, which is usually a buffet, was an a la carte from which we could choose anything and as much as we wanted. I was impressed that the hotel maintained their standard even for just 2 rooms. I will definitely recommend this hotel to any friend travelling to Utaithani to see the temples or on their way up north as a stopover.

Massive Hotel complex just some kilometers from the city - over 360 rooms... Quite strange that there were only 2 rooms booked for the last night. Anyway the hotel is quite nice, merging diifferent styles of Asia... Assuming that this hotel is mainly used for weddings. Good for us - all the staff was focusing on us and they have done a wonderful job. Definitely the place to stay while you are in Uthon Thani.

This is where ott meets Thailand. This hotel design is like a mad professors dream. Nothing wrong with that of course if that's your cup of tea . In my case it isn't. Nice enough people . Decent rooms if somewhat dated. My grip is 5 star prices 3 star facilities. No restaurant to speak of . Spa closed. Breakfast 2 star. I booked on the day via an aggregator. These issues should be mentioned especially at the price and maybe, they were, but I didn't see them and i was mightily disappointed after a 6 hour drive from Chiang Mai enroute to Bangkok. I'm sure other people book for the the same reason but today I was one of the very few who did book and immediately regretted it upon checking in.
