Rueang Sri Si Ri

The bus station is right next door, so getting here after a ride is easy, and you can rent a bicycle or motorcycle once you arrive. It’s quiet, and the staff are lovely. For a hostel, the price is great, especially if you’re on a budget or staying a while. A handy base for exploring Sukhothai city and the area.

The staff were kind and really helpful, and the air conditioning in my six-bed mixed dorm worked great. I stayed two nights. The beds had curtains, and the shower temperature was good, with plenty of hot water if you wanted it. The bathrooms are separate from the room and were a little dirty, though that seemed pretty average for Southeast Asia. There was a lot of flooding while I was there, which wasn’t the accommodation’s fault, but it meant there wasn’t much to do in the rain. Check the forecast if you’re planning a trip to Sukhothai.

The terrace has plenty of space, tables, and hammocks, and the friendly staff rent out scooters and bikes at reasonable prices. The room was clean and nice, and someone was always around at reception. The bathrooms are rustic, with a bucket to flush the toilet, but everything worked. It’s about a 20-minute walk to the main part of town, while the bus station is just across the road, which suited my short stay. For the price, I don’t think you’ll find better value.

The owners were very welcoming, and the spacious dorms and private rooms are great for the price. It’s right by the bus station, so getting around is easy. Very good.
