We were totally pleased with our 4 day stay at the Pailyn, Sukhothia. The hotel appears rather grand from the exterior, and is very close to the Historical Park. Other reviewers had commented that the hotel rooms needed a renovation. This must have occurred, as our room, a triple deluxe,very reasonably priced, had been completely painted, the furniture was new, the beds comfortable, the bathroom clean and also renovated. After a long day visiing the sites at Sukhothai and Si Satchanali, a dip in the pool was most appealing. The breakfast, which was part of the tariff, was good enough,and had both western and Thai dishes. The staff, as mentioned by other reviewers, were eager to please, friendly, a little light om english language skills, but adequate.We can also highly recommend the restaurant in the hotel. Our group consisted of Thai and Australians, and both the western dishes and Thai dishes were very nice and reasonably priced. There are Thai singers singing in the restaurant at night who are quite entertaining in their way. The only criticism would be that there are some mosquitoes in the restaurant, so spray some repellent on before you go (it was not a major issue).
