The Sriwilai Sukhothai is located just 2 km from Sukhothai Historic Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s the city’s main attraction, and rather than taking a cab, you can also visit by bike, weather permitting. The hotel also offers free bicycle rental. A hotel-owned Tuk-Tuk shuttle is also available for free.
Many other activities are available in the surrounding area and are posted near reception;. These activities include ceramic workshops, craft activities, and more.
We were well received at Sriwilai, with fresh towels and a welcome drink on our arrival. We were informed that we could take advantage of a 20-30% discount on spa treatments. There were also coupons for discounted drinks and meals at the hotel restaurants.
We booked a room with a balcony and a splendid view into the beautiful green, rural countryside. The room was spacious, decorated in a traditional Sukhothai style, inspired by the lifestyle of Thai farmers. The high ceiling and wooden furniture contributed to the room’s rustic, welcoming feel.
The room was well-equipped, with a flat-screen TV, mini-refrigerator, desk or dressing table, bathrobe, mosquito repellent and a flashlight – a thoughtful addition.
The generously sized bathroom had two sinks and a walk-in shower.
A large infinity edge pool allows you to cool off on hot days and offered a beautiful view of the rice paddies. A gym or fitness room was not available.
Umbrellas, sun loungers and towels were provided at the swimming pool and I took advantage of the opportunity to relax there after a long day of sightseeing. Since it’s adjacent to the restaurant, drinks and small food items could be ordered from there.
I tried the spa twice and the massages were wonderful and affordable.
Breakfast was fairly good with an egg-station, a small western section, as well as many Asian breakfast dishes. The resort charges extra for Espresso drinks which was fine by me.
The hotel is built in perfect harmony with its surroundings, emphasizing nature, well-being and relaxation. You can feel the respect for nature and the intention to offer customers an authentic experience. I highly recommend it for a luxurious experience in nature at an affordable price.
