Ruean Thai Hotel in Sukhothai

The hotel we stayed in this time was incredibly remote! The Grab taxi twisted and turned into a narrow alley, and I never imagined there was a hotel hidden there. Upon arrival, I had a hard time finding the front desk; it was tucked away in a small, unassuming building.

Check-in was even more problematic. After handing my passport to the staff, he didn't even check my online reservation and simply checked us in as an on-site check-in, even asking for payment. Finally, I showed him my Ctrip confirmation in English, and he only then began processing my Ctrip booking. This process was incredibly irregular, and I hope they can improve.

The hotel's exterior is a real plus, embodying a rich Sukhothai historical atmosphere. It's relaxing and relaxing, and strolling through it was a delight. However, the room amenities were a complete disappointment. Each bed was fitted with a mosquito net, reflecting the prevalence of mosquitoes, but the nets kept falling apart and had holes in them. Even with the "protection" of the nets, I woke up the next day covered in insect bites, which severely impacted my sleep quality.

Upon arrival, I was too tired to go out, so I ate at the hotel restaurant. I ordered Sukhothai rice noodles, which were surprisingly sweet, but it was a taste of local flavor. Breakfast was also unique: it wasn't a buffet, but rather an à la carte menu. Upon arrival, I was given a small card and ordered the bacon combo, but ended up receiving two meals. One was the standard breakfast, which included fruit, juice, coffee, and toast butter. It wasn't on the menu, so it seemed like a default combination. The other was the bacon combo I ordered, and it was so filling that I almost stuffed myself.

This stay was a mixed experience. The exterior and the special meals were pleasant, but the chaotic check-in process and the poor room amenities were disappointing. I hope the hotel can address these shortcomings and improve the overall experience!

Staff were great, when I needed a ride back from the park, it was there for us no charge. When I needed a table and chair to work at - they appeared in my room. Food is great and breakfast wonderful. Staff know what you need and go the extra to make sure your stay is okay.
