Ruy Suk Mansion

Post by TJ » April 7, 2007, 3:55 pm

Yes. Ruy Suk Mansion really does appear to be another Top Mansion, however with soft beds at a lower rate.

Their web site states that "We provide car services for pick up and drop off at any place you wish." I would hope that means they have a hotel minibus that will take guests anywhere within Ring Road for a slight fee.

It also says they offer a choice of regular or delux rooms. Anyone had a look at a delux room? Likely it is a double sized room similar to Top Mansion's.

Although I can afford other hotels, there is a feeling of satisfaction in finding a bargain hotel that is comfortable. I am tempted to give Ruy Suk Mansion a try.

Thanks to all who have provided good information about this hotel.

About 6 weeks ago, when I was in Udon Thani, I stoped by Ruy Suk Mansion, looked at a room and had a few beers in the open-air lobby with the manager and a couple of guests.

The rooms were as advertised and a good value. My two drinking mates, an Aussie and a Finn, had been there for a couple of months and advised that they were quite comfortable with their accomodations. The manager mentioned that he was having good occupancy and expected the hotel to grow in popularity.

The oft-mentioned Jason had made a deal with the manager and was going to put in a pool table and liven the bar scene. Don't remember exactly what that involved.

Heard that Top Mansion hotel has a large clientel of falangs. It is at the center of the Irish Clock to The City Lodge collection of falang hotels and bars.

A couple of new falang-managed bar/restaurants (Down Under Bar and California Cafà¹‰) have opened close to Ruy Suk making it just off the edge of the falang-populated bars and eatery scene.

I believe Ruy Suk will be a very popular hotel with westerners.

I find this a common problem with a lot of Thai businesses. Unless it is a site like hotelthailand.com with an up to date online booking service (possibly operated outside Thailand) I would not expect a reply. The hotels set up a website but don't always have the staff to answer online queries/emails. Case in point, the Thai dept of foreign affairs has a great website with online enquiry service that is even broken up according to your part of the world, Europe, Asia, Australasia etc. I sent them an enquiry about 3 years ago and I'm still waiting on the reply.

I know the owners personally and have stayed there often. Whenever mates visit me I send them to RuySuk Mansion.

Top vibe, unlike Top Mansion. Just a cool, relaxed, brilliantly located guest house (with the emphasis on guest: you're one of the family at RuySuk Mansion not just some other falang).

Joe and Bo speak excellent English and will bend over backwards, metaphorically speaking, to make your stay as memorable as possible.

Nothing is too much touble for them. Now there's a welcome change.

And if you like Thai food, Thanon Adunyadet (where RSM is located) is simlpy teaming with wonderful mom 'n pop Thai eateries.

10 out of 10 to RuySuk Mansion.

Top Mansion have got some serious competition.

I also heard a rumor about a bar at Ruy Suk, but it hasn't happened.

My g/f and I are currently staying at Ruk Suk and completely agree with all the reviews of this hotel.
We have booked for 30 days and have been here for 2 weeks now and cannot find anything to complain about, which is a 1st for me, We were given a rate of 290 baht per night, hard to beat in Udon for hotel.

I agree it is the best if you are on a low budget,room prices are excellent.Only small negative I had was the walls between the rooms are not the thickest and then hearing your next door neighbour up to all sorts of mischief. I always have earplugs at the ready for stays in small hotels just in case. No doubt the neighbours need them when I snore

Hi all
Would you say it was "guest friendly" just in case I needed to know!

Post by **pompui** » August 15, 2007, 2:20 am

As I had to endure the noise of some rampant farang stud servicing a local bargirl in the room next door to me when I last stayed there,I presume it is guest friendly.

Hi
Thanks for the info, I'm sure he'll find me a good bloke because I'm an Aussie.
I just needed to know about guest friendly as I'm coming alone and may need a friend to even up the bed, I would want it to tip up if I'm in it on my own, I'm sure you understand, 55555

I am not sure but would really have to guess most if not all sleeping establishments in Udon are guest friendly.

Stayed at the Ruy Suk Mansion a couple of times now,first time ok so stayed again a few weeks later,What a mistake that was!, I had my new Yamaha Mio delivered there so i could use to go into town,went out into town one night and came back late no problems, 2 nights later went to use motorbike and some clever person had smashed the right mirror off and smashed the speedo cover! found out from one of the staff that does the food there,he saw the damage the morning after i went out. Now my motorbike was parked 5 metres in front of reception with 2 guys working there at night all night ,they did not see anything!!! The owner did nothing only asked them if they saw anything,i said to him if they did not see anything where were they??? with people like that in charge its not safe to stay there,will never go back again !! and the breakfast is no good!!!

well, playing ruysuk advocate,

, if i was working there, and the place was full, as it often is, unless someone loses a key or orders food, no much to do, except sleep, since it isn't a hotel with amenities to offer. if the motorbike is going to sit there all night, obviously the staff will be sleeping at some time, especially after everyone is checked in, hence the sleepers behind the front desk. really don't know what you expect for 300 baht, maybe valet parking or a personal gargae. stay there many times and feel very safe.

Post by **keith555** » December 12, 2007, 4:07 am

Sleep? the damage done to my motorbike could be heard a long way off ,if they were asleep they would be woke up,remember i said my motorbike was parked 5 metres away from reception not 500? The damage was caused by 2 maybe 3 blows from a piece of wood or heavy object,not just breaking the mirror off but breaking the aluminium screw thread of the handlebar as well,plus smashing the speedo cover.! This i do not expect,and no one else would,and to suggest i expect a full valet and personal garage is taking the PISS! P.S. What is a personal gargae??? Stay there at your own risk!!!!!

Post by **BobHelm** » December 12, 2007, 10:44 am

Sadly this type of malicious damage can happen anywhere in the world.
And I have had a pick up 'keyed' well in the car park of the Grand overnight so the price you pay won't help you...

Agree with LA on the sleep thing. Have had to open the gate to the Top Mansion car park myself on many occasions when returning late at night....
