A cheap hotel and you get what you pay for, but considering this part of Thailand is mainly for Thais the hotel is cheap and gives you what you want apart from Western food.
The room was a good size but not that clean,bed was OK and you get free Wi-fi
You can smoke on the balcony.
This hotel is about 4 kilometers from city centre.you can eat westnerd food at Robinsons big store which is about 1 and half kilometers from hotel.
Ideal place for transit hotel if u have a car because a bit outside city (5 mins drive to city center). Close also to new department store/ shopping mall (2kms) on the city outskirts.
Clean, cheap, quiet and quite new.
Large room with aircon.
Only 500 baht with breakfast (small buffet) included, for 2 persons.
Mukdahan is not a traveling city, it's a just transfer stop between Thailand and Lao. So not so many staff know English. But they're really friendly and always willing to help you at any time with smile.
The room is big and fully equipped. And there are two lovely dogs on the front desk.
But the free WiFi is not so stable and only around 10 TV channels with Thai language only. And the hotel is between the Friendship bridge and downtown, (5km each). outside the hotel is the road, nothing nearby, no 7-11, no night market, the nearest shopping mall is Robinson life style, 1.3km away.
I've stayed here 4 times now and the first 3 visits were great. Only during my last visit I had some language problems with the receptionist lady. It took her about 20 minutes to check me in because I needed to be near the wi-fi router. Besides that I have no complaints whatsoever about Villa Thiwa. It's a good place to stay on your way to Savannakhet or on your way back
