Tohsang City Hotel Ubon Ratchathani — a quiet Tohsang-brand city stay that's clean and calm
If you ask about local hotel brands in Ubon, the name Tohsang is well known thanks to its riverside resort in Khong Chiam · Tohsang City Hotel (now branded Tohsang Heritage Ubon) is the in-town sister on Palochai Road, in a quiet residential pocket of central Ubon · It is a small property of around 33 rooms, decorated in a contemporary vintage style with natural materials and handmade crafts · What guests talk about most is the breakfast and the cleanliness · It is about a 10-minute drive from Ubon airport · From approx ฿1,200/night.
Tohsang is a local hotel group that made its name with Tohsang Khongjiam Resort, a property on the Mekong River in Khong Chiam district · Its in-town branch, Tohsang City Hotel, sits on Palochai Road in a residential area that is far quieter than hotels on the main roads or beside malls · It is a small property of around 33 rooms, refreshed in a contemporary vintage look that uses natural materials and handmade pieces, giving it a warmer, more personal feel than the typical chain hotel.
Rooms range from Superior and Deluxe at around 25 sqm up to the Grand Deluxe at 28 sqm with a balcony, and a King Suite at 48 sqm · Most rooms feel comfortably spacious and clean, which guests note often · Inside you get full-length glass doors, a TV, minibar, hairdryer and bathroom toiletries · The one recurring niggle is that some of the décor and furniture lean classic and a touch dated for anyone who prefers a sharply modern look — though the trade-off is a quiet, unhurried atmosphere.
"The room was very clean and quiet, the staff lovely and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious and made fresh — perfect if you actually want to rest rather than be in the thick of things."
The thing guests rave about most is the breakfast · Reviews in several languages agree it is done well, with both Thai and Western options and made-to-order dishes · The hotel has an in-house restaurant and bar (Prathueng Thong / Tohsang Restaurant) serving Thai and international food, which is handy because there are not many restaurants within walking distance · There is also free parking, a meeting room, a bar and free Wi-Fi in all rooms · Overall the feel leans toward residential calm rather than the lavish facilities of a big resort.
Location is both a plus and a trade-off · The hotel is central in terms of distance — about 2 km from Thung Si Muang and roughly a 10-minute drive (about 4 km) from Ubon Ratchathani Airport · The City Pillar Shrine and government quarter are not far · But because it sits in a residential area, there are few restaurants or nightlife spots within walking distance, so you will rely on a car or Grab to get around · And being near the airport means the occasional aircraft noise — light sleepers should bear that in mind.
Straight talk: Tohsang City Hotel suits travellers who want a quiet, clean stay at a sensible price rather than a full-blown luxury hotel · If you are in Ubon to rest, run errands, or use the city as a base before heading to Khong Chiam or Pha Taem and want a comfortable bed with a good breakfast, it is a fine fit · Real guest scores sit around 8.6 on Trip.com and 8.7 on Booking, and TripAdvisor ranks it about #6 of 28 hotels in Ubon · The complaints that come up are the classic décor, aircraft noise at times, and no lift in some buildings.
A tip from following the reviews: if aircraft noise bothers you, ask for an inner room that does not face the airport, and if stairs are difficult, request a ground-floor room when you book · The Grand Deluxe with a balcony is roomier for a modest price difference, worth it for longer stays · For dinner, if you do not want to eat in-house, take a short drive to the Thung Si Muang area or the night market, where there is far more food to choose from.
