This property is located a short distance from attractions such as Wat Phra Singh, Tha Pae Gate, and Chang Puak Gate. Guests can enjoy Thai and local dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the snack bar. Amazing property, everything brand new and squeaky clean as well as with a stylish design. The location is right in the heart of Chiang Mai residential area, very quiet and laid back. The staff was super helpful always ready to share tips and even tried to help set-up the big TV in the reception area to watch the F1 race. On top of that, the included breakfast offers a high number of options and the coffee is as good as any other speciality coffee shop.

Situated in Sukhothai, 600 metres from Sukhothai Historical Park, Old City Guest House features accommodation with a shared lounge and free private parking. The hostel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The guest house is just a very short walk from the historic park and the weekend night market. The room was very spacious, and the bathroom designed so that the shower water was contained and didn't make the entire floor wet. A refrigerator was a nice touch. And there was coffee, toast and cookies in the morning -- not exactly breakfast but something to hold you over until you can walk to one of the many nearby restaurants.
