Ad Lib Khon Kaen (โรงแรมแอดลิบ ขอนแก่น)

Amazing hotel to be completely honest. We rented a corner suite and it has sweeping city views. Quietest hotel i ve ever slept in, very peaceful. Huge room with separate tub, shower, toilet, and make up area. Eight water bottles in the room when we arrived. I've stayed in many high end hotels in the US and this hotel with its amazing rooms, food choices, great service and staff, would easily be at least four times the money in Seattle. Plus it's safe to walk the streets here unlike most US cities. We've already booked a few nights on the tail end of our vacation before we fly back to the US.

There are several things I loved about this hotel- the cafe has a second floor and there is a big room with tables and power outlets that is very quiet and spacious. Sometimes the room is reserved, but it is often open. The gym was large and often empty. The shower was big and had great water pressure and lots of hot water. The staff was super kind and helpful and generous and just so nice. Bill and Tae were helpful, but really everyone was great. The restaurants were excellent, we had food at the cafe everyday. The hotel is walking distance to excellent local food. We found a couple things difficult in the room, there is a platform around the bed making it harder to get in and out, and the toilet has a giant sliding door that you have to open and close and at night that was not easy. We enjoyed the outdoor balcony, but wish there were two chairs, and there is no good desk set up in the room- no chair in the room, but we used the cafe as a desk workspace.

We stayed in the Corner Suite and Premier Room, both around 70 square meters — perfect for a family, with stunning views that made our stay even more enjoyable. While the breakfast buffet may not have had an overwhelming number of options, every dish was thoughtfully prepared and genuinely delicious. The highlight was the live cooking station, where two chefs stood out not only for their culinary skills but also for their warm and professional service.

In summary, an ok hotel that could be so much better. The rooms are ok, nice views, fair size, could be cleaner, dust around the bottom of the furniture, crumpled tissue on the floor under the sink fixture (dropped a contact and had to get on the floor to search for it) The rooftop bar was full so we didn't get a chance to check it out, but the restaurant was nice, great view, food was good and the staff attentive and polite. We had an early flight so checked that we could take a bag of goodies from the breakfast buffet as we had paid for breakfast, and was told that would be ok, however when we tried to ask for it in the morning we were told we could only take one (mini) pastry each and one hot drink. We were a bit taken aback, tired and not quite awake so didn't want to argue but when we mentioned on checkout that we were a little surprised at the breakfast policy the receptionist said that we should have been allowed to choose what we wanted and offered to get another breakfast bag made up. Our taxi was waiting so had to decline but it highlighted a lack of staff training. Though all the staff were lovely, there was an overall feeling that the service was not quite up to the standard of a top hotel which is down to the management.

The only place to stay in Khon Kaen! I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again when I return to KK. The infinity pool is definitely the highlight with beautiful views overlooking the town. Breakfast was plentiful and enough choice of both Eastern and Western food. The rooms were beautiful. Great pressure in the shower, and incredibly comfortable beds. However, the absolute highlight would have to be the simply stunning night time views from the roof top bar. It is worth staying just for that experience. Having a drink outside is amazing, but inside is equally romantic with little private nooks. Do yourself a favour and stay at this incredible hotel.

Impeccable service. Fabulous cocktails. Special shout out to First and Max and the lady on the front desk of the bar were amazing people. Levels of service you expect from Mandarin Oriental and Shangri La. I am definitely returning. I would give it it 6 * if i could

Great place to rest at and enjoy the great night sunset views. The food is great and service is exceptional. We had the breakfast buffet and it was great mix of Thai and western dishes. Again, the staff was very “Most Excellent “ Only issue… is how to get to the rooms… you have to walk through the restaurant, that’s not the best design. This issue won’t stop me from staying again! Thanks to the Managers Bank and Tae.

Great place. Excellent atmosphere in the city center with a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding parks. The restaurant sits on the 27th floor. There is a glass deck for the faint hearted. The well known Thai hospitality and graciousness leaves nothing to be desired.
