Udee Condo — a condo next to Robinson Chachoengsao you can rent daily or monthly
If you're looking for a place in central Chachoengsao where you can walk over to Robinson to shop, catch a movie, grab a meal, and stock up your room in just a few minutes then come back to a room with your own little kitchen — Udee Condo is a name people around here mention often · It's actually a residential condominium in the Sothon area, not a hotel with a 24-hour front desk, but several unit owners rent out their rooms both daily and monthly, which has made it a popular accommodation choice for workers, travelers, and people coming to Paet Riu on business · The development is a low-rise complex of 7–8 storeys with about 923 units in total, and the rooms are studios of 22.5–24 sqm with shared facilities including a pool, gym, key-card system, and 24-hour security · Monthly rent starts around THB 4,500, while daily rates depend on each unit owner · This article gathers the details and voices from real residents, sharing both the upsides and the things to watch for, straight up.
Who Udee Condo is right for — Let's be upfront first: Udee Condo is not a hotel with a lobby, a 24-hour front desk, and daily housekeeping · It's a genuine residential condominium in the Sothon area of Mueang Chachoengsao district, where several unit owners rent out their rooms both daily and monthly · So the experience is closer to "crashing at a friend's condo" or renting a short-term apartment than checking into a hotel · If you understand this from the start, you'll set the right expectations and be more likely to be impressed than disappointed · Based on the project details and real residents' voices, the people who suit it best are: workers or those relocating to work in the Chachoengsao-Bang Pakong industrial zone who want a place near the mall in town, travelers on business or coming to pay respects to Luang Pho Sothon who want a room with a small kitchen to cook for themselves, couples or solo travelers who don't need full hotel service but do want the convenience of the location and shared facilities like a pool and gym, and anyone wanting to try living in Chachoengsao long-term before committing to a real lease · Those who may not be the target are tourists who want hotel-style service with room service, breakfast included in the rate, and staff on hand at all times, because these depend on each unit owner and mostly won't be available.
Location and getting around — This is the first reason people choose Udee Condo · The project sits on Chachoengsao-Bang Pakong Road, Sothon subdistrict, Mueang Chachoengsao district, right next to Robinson Chachoengsao department store, with project information stating the condo is only about 200–510 meters from Robinson, or about a 6-minute walk · Just step out of the condo and you can walk to the supermarket, catch a movie at Major Cineplex, grab a meal in the food court, and stock up your room with ease, without needing a car every time · The surroundings also have everything you need for shopping, including Big C, Thai Watsadu, HomePro, Index Living Mall, and IT City, making the Sothon area a sort of convenience hub for the town · For sightseers and temple-goers, you can use it as a base to visit Luang Pho Sothon at Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan within a short drive, and reach the 100-Year-Old Ban Mai Market along the Bang Pakong River in about a 10–15 min drive · For longer trips, Chachoengsao (Paet Riu) train station is not far in town, so you can take the train from Bangkok and then a short ride to the condo · Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is about 50–60 kilometers away, or roughly a 60–75 min drive depending on traffic · The trade-off of a location right on a main road next to a mall is that traffic in front of the mall gets fairly heavy in the evenings and on weekends, so if you drive yourself, allow extra time to get in and out, and rooms facing the main road may pick up some traffic noise.
"My favorite thing is being able to walk straight to Robinson. Wake up wanting to eat something and you just walk across; stocking up the room is super convenient, no driving needed · The room isn't big but it has everything, with a small kitchen for making instant noodles or coffee. Worth what I paid."
Room types and furnishing — Udee Condo focuses mainly on studio rooms of about 22.5–24 square meters, designed to use the space efficiently in modern condo fashion · In a standard room as most owners set it up for rent, you'll find a bed, air conditioning, TV, fridge, and a small kitchenette with a counter for simple cooking, boiling water, making coffee, or reheating food, plus a private bathroom in the room · Because each room belongs to a different owner, the decor and items in the room aren't the same in every unit — some are newly furnished and attractive with full appliances, others are simple and just liveable, so before booking you should always look at real photos and ask the owner for clear details on what's in the room · From residents' voices, what people often praise is that rooms are clean, the project design looks modern, and the room contents are enough for real living, while the things to watch for are that the studio space is fairly compact, suiting one to two people — if you come as a group or with lots of luggage it'll feel tight — and because it's a residential building with many rooms in a row, soundproofing between units depends on the floor and the room's position, so light sleepers should request a higher floor or a side away from the main corridor.
Facilities and shared areas (there's a pool) — The advantage of staying in a condo like Udee Condo compared to a typical city guesthouse is shared facilities that are fairly complete for the price level · The project has a shared swimming pool for a swim and a cool-off soak, a gym/exercise room, and a clubhouse to relax in · On security, this is a point residents speak well of, because there's a key-card entry system for the building, CCTV, and 24-hour security staff, which gives women staying alone or anyone concerned about safety some peace of mind · There's also parking in the project and green garden space · One thing to understand is that these facilities are "condo shared areas," not hotel service, so using the pool and gym is self-service, may have set opening and closing hours and house rules from the juristic body, and at busy times you may have to wait your turn · For anyone looking for a short-term stay that includes a pool and gym on a modest budget, this set of shared facilities is more than enough for real living.
Food and nearby spots — Because Udee Condo is a condo and not a hotel, there's no breakfast included in the rate and no on-site restaurant, but this actually turns into a plus of the location, because a few minutes' walk gets you to Robinson with its food court, restaurants, coffee shops, and supermarket to choose from · You can walk over to eat in the mall, order delivery to the front of the condo, or buy ingredients and cook in your room's kitchenette — and it's this flexibility that makes many people choose a condo over a hotel when they need to stay several days · Around the Sothon area there are also local eateries, noodle shops, and cafes scattered about, and if you want an old-town atmosphere you can drive to enjoy good food near the 100-Year-Old Ban Mai Market along the Bang Pakong River nearby · A tip for long stays: since you already have a fridge and kitchenette in the room, try stocking up on snacks and drinks from the supermarket in the mall — it's cheaper and more convenient than going out for every meal · In short, food is not a weak point here at all, because the location next to the mall makes up for the lack of an on-site restaurant with ease.
Service and check-in — This is the topic to understand most clearly before booking Udee Condo · Since you're renting a condo room directly from a unit owner (or through a rental agent), not a hotel, contacting them, picking up the key/key-card, checking in, and sorting out any problems all depend on each individual owner · Some owners look after things very well, reply quickly, arrange easy key pickup, and prepare a clean room with everything you need, but others may reply slowly or have different stay conditions · So the key thing is to discuss all the details before transferring money, including check-in and check-out times, how to pick up the key, the deposit, water and electricity charges (for monthly stays), what's in the room, and emergency contact channels · The upside of this kind of stay is high privacy and flexibility on length of stay, while the limitation is that there's no central front desk to help around the clock like a hotel — if you arrive late at night or have an immediate problem, you have to rely mainly on the unit owner · For safety, we recommend booking with an owner or platform that has reviews and is verifiable, looking at real room photos, and always keeping records of your conversations and payments.
Voices from real reviews (praise and gripes) — Because Udee Condo is a residential condo, not a hotel on booking platforms directly, most reviews come from residents and tenants on property websites and tenant groups rather than typical tourist hotel reviews · On the praise side, what comes up repeatedly is the location next to Robinson making it the easiest to walk to the mall, the convenience of the Sothon area with both malls and shops all around, shared facilities with a pool and gym to use, the key-card security and 24-hour guards giving peace of mind for those living alone, the modern and clean room design, and rental prices that count as accessible for what you get · On the things-to-watch side, the studio rooms are fairly small, suiting 1–2 people, the room contents and upkeep aren't the same in every unit because they belong to different owners, soundproofing between rooms and noise from the road/mall in certain room positions, parking that may not be enough at full capacity since there are several hundred units, and because there's no hotel front desk, check-in and help rely mainly on the unit owner · Overall, most voices see this place as "worth it for the location and price" for real living, rather than something to expect hotel-style service from.
"Lived here several months, like that it's safe with key-card and guards all the time, you can walk to the mall, and the pool and gym are there to use · The only downside is the room is a bit small if you have a lot of stuff, and you need to pick an owner who looks after things well — it makes living here much more comfortable."
Price and value comparison — For monthly rent, a studio at Udee Condo starts at about THB 4,500–4,900/month (on a yearly lease), which counts as very accessible for a condo next to a mall in town that has a pool, gym, and a full security system · Daily rent depends on each unit owner and the period, and is generally cheaper than or similar to a hotel of the same level in town, but you get private space with a kitchenette and condo shared facilities on top · Compared to a few-hundred-baht guesthouse in town, the advantages here are the location next to the mall, the pool, and the key-card security, while compared to a full-service hotel, the trade-off is no front desk, no room service, and no breakfast · So Udee Condo's value stands out most for people who stay several days or monthly, want an in-room kitchen, and value a location next to the mall more than hotel service · If you're only staying one night and want full service, a hotel in town may be more convenient for check-in and care, but if your goal is the convenience of the location and privacy at a budget price, this place is genuinely worth it.
Things to know before booking — There are several things that help make a stay at Udee Condo go more smoothly · One, understand first that this is renting a condo room from a unit owner, not a hotel, so the service, room contents, and care vary by owner — you should look at real room photos and read reviews of that specific room before deciding · Two, discuss all the details before transferring money, including price, deposit, check-in and check-out times, how to pick up the key-card, and what's in the room, and for monthly stays ask clearly about water, electricity, and common-area fees · Three, if you're a light sleeper or want a good view, request a higher floor and avoid rooms facing the main road or next to the main corridor · Four, if you drive yourself, ask about parking in advance, because the project has several hundred units and parking can get tight at full capacity · Five, if you arrive late at night, arrange a clear key-pickup time with the owner, because there's no front desk open all night like a hotel · Six, for safety, book through a verifiable channel that has reviews, and always keep records of your payment.
Summary — From all the project details and real residents' voices, Udee Condo is one of the best-located condos in central Chachoengsao for anyone who wants to stay near the mall and live comfortably for real · The selling point that sets it apart from other places in town is the location next to Robinson, a few minutes' walk to the mall, studio rooms with their own kitchenette, and shared facilities with a pool, gym, key-card access, and 24-hour security at an accessible price · What you have to understand is that this is a residential condo, not a hotel, so there's no front desk, no room service, no breakfast, and room quality and care depend on each unit owner · But for workers, travelers staying several days, people coming to pay respects to Luang Pho Sothon or on business in Paet Riu, and anyone who values a location next to the mall with privacy at a budget price, Udee Condo fits this kind of stay nicely — and that's why people around here tend to recommend it whenever someone asks for a place near Robinson Chachoengsao.
