Definitely agree there. Ubon is well up there on my list as well. Easy to get around and a good base for forays into the countryside. I stay at the Yuu Hotel usually, perfect location in town.

For once I agree with you...  I love the old part of the city.  That's the area bordering the Mun river around Thung Si Muan (the main square in the heart of the city).  However - just like in Bangkok - the new town with the modern shopping malls doesn't have my fancy.

My favorite place to stay in Ubon is the Nartsiri Hotel.  Unbeatable for price/value with its super clean and comfortable rooms, friendly service and its great and rich quality breakfast buffet.

Home Hub is no more in Udon Thani.

And when you are on a very tight budget, the 21 Ratchabutr Hostel - actually more a home-stay - is also worth considering. It is located in the 'old town' of Ubon, 100 meter from the Mun river (with bars/restaurants with river-view), 50 meter from the local market, and approx 150 meter from the main Ubon town square (Thung Si Muang).  In short > the best possible location to discover Ubon (the home-stay also rents scooters to its guests).

I think it closed down in September last. Went along in December and there was big stuff going on. A few weeks ago I passed and it was still not being let out for any business.
