Opening hours

The building is old, creepy, and in dyer need of renovations. We stayed during Loy Kratong, so I’m sure the price was inflated, but this has so far been my most expensive accommodation in Thailand. We had to move rooms because our first room had ants all over one bed. The second room had gecko poop EVERYWHERE. Both rooms had a very overpowering chemical smell. We stayed up in the lobby till 4 am our second night cause we didn’t want to be in the room. The breakfast was actually pretty good, and had a lot of options, but it did not make up for how terrible of a place this is to stay.

The room sucks.I cant even shower and the water is yellow.This TV is super old i cant even open it. The plug looks like it's gonna explode like it looks scary.The view is super creepy. it looks like it's haunted. Never coming back again.

Firstly this hotel is quite near to the historical park which is almost what everyone would visit sukothai for. Secondly, it's price point is great and breakfast is surprisingly better than most. Thirdly just looking at the path leading up to the hotel entrance, the way the building is designed, the spacious lobby all tell this hotel is the jewel at its era. Now the bad, this hotel won't be getting a renovation since it's pointless to put in money as everything is still working. It has gone from a 5* hotel in the 1990s? To a 3* hotel in this era. Things in the room especially the restroom is a bit old but clean nonetheless. There is limited staff and activity during off season and they won't be cleaning every room periodically. Just ask for a fresh up if the room is unsatisfying and they will touch it up.

Don't be fooled by the (old) photos, The Pailyn Hotel Sukhothai is a dump. Its a scam! Only 4 staff, apparently no manager! Rooms are filthy and dangerous, ours required a good clean and was carried out by the cook who was there to provide breakfast. Water from tap, just a trickle, bathroom filthy. Insects in evidence. The Hotel is dilapidated and in need of condemning. It made the visit to Sukhothai for the festival of Loi Kratong, which itself was fabulous, very disappointing. The Thai Tourist authority should really examine this building, calling itself a 'hotel'. My recommendation? Do not stay at this place, despite the new super low price. And check the dates of any reviews.

It is difficult for people travelling by car to find somewhere to stay in Old Sukhothai. This seems strange because the only business here is tourism. There are two types of hotel: cheap back-packer guest houses with nowhere to park, and resort hotels that are only interested in tour groups. Three things you must do at the Pailyn: get a room at the back (there is a karaoke bar opposite at the front). Do not order anything at the restaurant (it is dreadful). Ge a room high up and away from the mosquitoes (which seem to be a problem at most places in Sukhothai). Also book yourself (there are always rooms and agencies will cost you 50% more) The Pailyn is a decaying monument to a bygone age, but the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are helpful. Plenty of parking. I use it when stopping on my trips from Chiang Mai to the South.
