Hotels near Wat Krachongkaram, Sukhothai

Backpackers can walk to Sukhothai Bus Terminal, close to the night market, naturally alarms in the temple in the morning, start early in the morning, and the morning market is right in front of you, so you can solve it. Yes. You can go to Sukhothai National Park directly, but I think you have to take a tuk-tuk. The bedding is clean.

You know the score. One thing goes wrong for you and then everything seems to be wrong, so read this as a ”what can happen” not what always happens. Firstly the positives - there's a nice pool, the staff are friendly and polite like most Thais, the omelet was Fab at breakfast (and proper coffee is a pleasant rarity), the bed and bed linen were comfortable. As Jethro (the Cornish comedian) says...what happened was.... We arrive down a dusty back road/dirt track. The two young staff (friendly etc) cannot speak any other languages than Thai. We check in and go to our ”bungalow”. It's not what we booked, in fact it's a room that is available for two thirds of what we paid. At this point I have to say that's only £10 and thus no biggie, but 400Bahts is a big extra profit over here. Worse, not only does it not have a TV (again not bothered as we haven't watched one for two weeks), or a fridge but it's shabby, with beaten up old furniture and the shower is cold. The young girl wants to move us, but no, the young lad fixes the shower and brings an old fridge in. The room is still pokey and shabby and has no desk (there's a wooden bench if you like that sort of rustic!). Unlike other rooms who have patio sets we have a rotten wooden seat outside, we have nowhere to hang clothes and no TV but hey ho, we will bear with that because we just can't be bothered! The other minor issues: food is pretty average, though fairly cheap (we've been spoiled a bit with fantastic street food and restaurants in Bangkok and Koh Lanta). It's not a short walk to anywhere except the bus stop for the old City which is about half a mile. WiFi is pretty unreliable and mainly bad. I went to the bar for two Thai Rums. I got them, albeit measured, and there was a tiny bit left in the bottle which I thought she'd just pour into one of the glasses but no. Now I've owned bars so I thought aha, she'll pour it into the next bottle - good economy really. I return for another shot to find there is, in fact, NO other bottle of local rum! I return to the shabby bedroom slightly irked. I could go on but I'm sure you get the drift. If you get room B3 then know this - it is (should be about a tenner) cheap but you get what you pay for and breakfast and the pool are good. The shower room is laughable if you're not already too hacked off to see the funny side.

I still have one night to go. But our experience has been fantastic. We came with no expectation and were totally surprised with the beautiful property, the helpful staff and good food. The rooms are big and spacious. Bathrooms very clean. The property itself has a lotus pond at the centre and a rustic yet elegant vibe and feel. Look forward to tomorrow night and to try out the spa.

This was part of a package tour. The property is quite charming and rustic...with a Thai feel throughout. The room itself was a bit quirky but in a good way. There is a river flowing through the middle of the property with lots of trees. This is good and bad since there seems to be a lot of mosquitos. The restaurant had decent breakfast and dinner. The property is close to the historic landmarks. It is possible to walk out of the property for local restaurants.

We loved our stay here and it was one of our favourite hotels on a 3 week tour of Thailand. Even before our arrival our correspondence with Poolsin was friendly and efficient and she kindly booked our buses and taxis which was incredibly helpful. The room/bathroom was very clean with lovely decor. The pool was a good size and temperature (surprised how cold some others were) and a welcome relief from the heat. Very good breakfast provided and they sell drinks, beers, ice creams to refresh you during the day/evening. The location was perfect for visiting the sites (hired bikes from the hotel). There’s a very pretty restaurant next door and others back towards the town only 10 minute walk. Definitely much better than the places we saw in the Main Street. Thank you for making our trip to Sukhothai perfect!

The friendly staff, the cleanliness, and the amenities make this guesthouse well worth the price. The bikes are fairly priced and in good condition, and there are more than enough available. Every staff member went above and beyond to help. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable. The pool area was clean and spacious. We highly recommend this guesthouse.

not very far rom the old city, ca rent abike with 50 baht per day.nice staff, higly recommend. one more thing, the spa in the hotel is good, come to my house and with good skill.

Excellent value for this beautiful place. Room was big very clean and comfortable. Bathroom was also big and very well appointed with nice thick fresh towels. Lots of hot water and reasonable pressure in the shower. Nice courtyard and pool area. Delicious breakfast. Amazing value for all the charm and comfort this place offers in very close proximity to all the historical Temples.

Great place to chill. If you stay a few days, make sure you get a room overlooking the ponds so you can relax on your balcony in beautiful surroundings. Rooms are clean and comfortable, but you do need to get used to the early morning cock crows and radio wake-up call at the back. The lady on the front desk seemed a bit abrupt at first, but turned out to be really friendly and helpful. We rented bikes from here for 90 Baht a day. They need maintenance so check the brakes and seat before you set off. Yes, you can rent bikes near the park entrance for 40 or 50, but you have yo get there first. We also needed them to get to the Phum Por and Sinvana restaurants. The hotel restaurant is ok, but the others offer much better choice and fare. Breakfast is the usual Asian 3-star Hotel offering

He also arranged a long-distance bus on the way back, and thought about a Sukhothai tour plan according to the departure time of the bus, and he responded very kindly and politely. The rental bicycle was a little old and the saddle was not adjusted, but there were about 10 cars and it was free. The room was large and atmosphere, and it was a great stay in Sukhothai.
