The Rimpao provides a classical Country feeling with the amenities of a 4 star hotel. Located just off the main road for privacy and surrounded by the local economy.
The hotel was excellent value for money. The staff were very attentive and helpful.
The atmosphere in the foyer/communal sitting area was very quiet and peaceful, and the swimming pool was huge and thoroughly enjoyable.
I would have liked to have a room safe to store passports and valuables however.
Ample parking, customer service great. Unfortunately pool still out of commission for 2nd trip. Beauriful historic building just needs a little updating.

Parking is easy. Location okay and the hotel itself would have been amazing when it was new. Alas, it could do with a bit of an upgrade all round. No real complaints, it's all just a bit old and tired. Having said that, there isn't much competition in Kalasin and as it's always sensibly priced, we keep going back to the Rimpao Hotel.
Nice and quiet hotel but some things need a bit of modernization. Plenty of parking with a large pool. Breakfast ok. Staff friendly and helpful so overall a good place to stay.
Beautiful building however needs an update as the plumbing and several rooms on my floor did not turn off and water leaked from the roofs in the least two Apartment adjacent to mine the only concern I had with my room was The water did not turn off in the showet
I have visited this hotel for over ten years. It feels like coming home.
What makes this one of favourite hotels in the world are the team who work here and who feel like family.
Hotel always clean and any issues I have had have been resolved rapidly and effectively.
Always a pleasure to stay here. Visited other hotels in the area that are newer but this hotel is by far the best. Very quiet

We stay here because it's the only hotel in town with a swimming pool. This once grand hotel is showing her age, although it looks like she's recently gotten exterior paint, she's in need of a complete remodel. Staff is great though.
We stayed in a room where insects were visible on the walls. The building is old and it is in big time need of repair. Staff were very polite and nice and couldn’t do enough to make the stay pleasant
Wir hatten eine Suite gebucht, welche aus drei Zimmern bestand und ausserordentlich geräumig war. Das Rimpao ist vermutlich das beste Hotel in der Stadt, ich war letztes Jahr schon dort.
Für den Zustand des Hotels habe ich vier Punkte vergeben, was eher grosszügig ist. Obwohl das Hotel nicht alt ist, sieht es teilweise bereits etwas abgenudelt aus.
Das absolute Highlight ist der grosse, saubere Swimming Pool. Solches kriegt man in dieser Gegend selten. Das Personal ist freundlich und verfügt über mässige Englischkenntnisse; auch dies ist eher normal im Isaan, der nicht so touristisch ist. Die Umgebung ist wirklich gut; sehr ruhig, ganz nahe vom See und nicht weit von der Innenstadt.

The old girl is in need of a facelift. She barely survived covid and is operating with a skeleton staff. Drywall repairs that were done 5 years ago when we last visited still have not been taped and mudded. Carpets are getting pretty rank as well. But, since she's the only hotel in Kalasin with a swimming pool, we will continue to book. (We have relatives in town). The staff that is still employed are very good.

I feel sorry for this once extremely fine hotel. It's simply getting a bit old and tired and is desperately in need of renewal. Unfortunately, given the average price of hotel rooms in Kalasin and the lack of hotel customers in general in the town, I can't see them ever having the financial resources to modernise anything.
Aside from that, the rooms are plenty large enough, although that's partly because they are somewhat sparsely furnished. The bed is best described as firm, although again a double room has a large king bed. The lighting is ancient, the bathroom is tired and has no shaver point. But each room has a fridge. Room service didn't pick up the phone the one time I tried and English language amongst the staff is generally pretty poor.
Having said that, it's still the best game in town in Kalasin and at the prices charged, it is difficult to be too hard on them. We've stayed there many times and, as we have yet to find better in Kalasin, we will probably stay there many times in the future too.
