28 Rachabutr Hostel

A proper old school traveller's lodging. Reminded me of the hippy places I used to stay in my 20s, with dog earred copies of Lonely Planet lying around, as well as various stoned people also lying around. A place to meet other travellers and swap tales. Beautiful teak floors, large rooms, great location by the river opposite the colourful morning market and walking distance from the night market. Great views of the temple and river. Very authentic vibe. Very helpful, friendly proprietress who spoke great English, a rarity in this backwater. She lives on the ground floor of this place, and it is dotted with sweet, faded family photos and personal memorabilia. Like a little glimpse into someone's life.

All slightly rundown and shabby. As you'd expect for this low price. The shared bathroom on our floor was not very inviting. Market opposite kicks off in the early hours, so if you're a light sleeper, this is not for you. It didn't bother me. Also asked for a taxi to take us to the bus station in the morning and the owner got a neighbouring tuktuk driver to take us. An wisened old man, he charged us twice what a normal taxi would, but at the end of the day it was only the equivalent of £1 extra, so hey ho! He deserved it!

Homely stay, great location, lovely roof terrace with river views. Delicious breakfast from market opposite. Bargain laundry. Friendly and helpful host.

Wooden floors, lots of space to hang out and socialize, airy rooms and a great location by the river. It's run by Vanida, a sweet thai lady who speaks good englisch and can help with all things Ubon.

Very nice simple place and very nice people

It is right in the heart of things with morning market right opposite super cheap fro breakfast coffee and fresh fruit, it's a very safe area, Ubon has a very relaxed approach to life and you can come and go as you please from the hostel, scooter rental is cheap too
