Pros:
- We stayed in room 301 which is Chinese-themed and it was really beautiful, and very original (not tacky).
- The staff at the front desk are extremely helpful and friendly and helped with a few minor issues we had.
- You can rent bikes cheaply and explore the historical sites that way - we did this and it was a brilliant experience. The hotel is very close to the sites so you can linger until the sun sets (beautiful colours), and the ride is very very pleasant.
- We tried the restaurant down the road but quickly fled it in favour of the hotel one, which is much much nicer (the other options, on the road to the historical park, were not very appealing either). They also have plenty of coffee-table books and magazines for you to browse while waiting for your food.
- Breakfast was nice - especially since it had several Thai options which we didn't find anywhere else.
Only con:
- The food menu has virtually no vegetarian options, and the staff are not particularly helpful in that respect (for example, they didn't want to try making some of the curries with no meat, whereas almost all other restaurants in Thailand offered that spontaneously)
- Tharaburi Hotel Sukhothai
