"Very helpful stuff. Breakfast was very good. We had to check out early and they offered a box breakfast to take with us before 6:30 am. That boxed breakfast was one of the best we ever had in any place."
"We had a great stay at Sukhothai Garden Hotel in Old Town. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy, and everything was very clean. The rooms are small, but perfectly fine for a short stay when you’re mostly out exploring.
The bathroom is an all-in-one situation — toilet, shower, and sink share the same space — so after a shower, everything is wet. It didn’t bother us, but more pampered travelers might need a moment to adjust. On the plus side, the shower had excellent water pressure.
Breakfast was a wonderful surprise. There were several hot dishes (eggs, rice, curry, meats, soups), plus coffee, tea, cereal, toast, sweets, and fresh fruit. A really strong start to the day.
The grounds are compact but pleasant, and the free bikes were a huge bonus for exploring the nearby historical park.
Only real downside: the bed is extremely firm. Not a deal breaker, but it might as well have been a very enthusiastic box spring.
For the price and amazing location, it was absolutely worth it.
8/10 — we’d stay again."
"This was a great resort to stay at! Great Staff, a very nice suite and very convenient to the Archeological Park. We liked this place so much that we reserved a room for next year. Great Resort!"
"The room was fine but the bathroom needs modernising and it was a bit of a hassle trying to lock my room door on the way out (you had to fiddle with the inside door handle and then close the door in a firm manner) The breakfast ( like in most Thai hotels I've been to) have very limited vegetarian options ( unless your big on toast and fruits). Its 15 mins by car to the historical park (AKA the old town). About a 5 min walk to various restaurants but not much to see or do around the area (the new town). Can get your laundry done here too. The staff were very polite. "
"Untrained and seemingly unsupervised staff, furniture and furnishings that are shabby, worn or stained, poor quality food and the apparent absence of anyone running the place. A real shame, because the resort itself is beautiful and with a little effort could be so much better than it is. "
"so, a big part of this is my own fault, but they do advertise a 24 hour convenience desk, which is not true. I came in at one in the morning because the bus dropped me off, I had to walk 20 minutes to get to the hotel from the station, and when I got there, nobody was at the helpdesk. There were two little boys sleeping behind the helpdesk, but they didn’t stir to a flashlight in their faces. I had to check myself in, grab my own key, make my own bed, and clean up a little bit. There was no soap in the bathroom, it was difficult to get the AC running, and there wasn’t even a light in the bathroom.
Overall, I feel like I got scammed out of my money. "
