Summary Nice hotel. Good location.
Review Had one of their windowless rooms – a/c, TV with quite a few English language channels, clean, reliable and free wifi.

Room had a high level “”glass block”” window onto the corridor so there was some natural light and it may have been quieter than one of the road facing rooms.

Price included breakfast – eggs, French bread and tea or coffee. Free tea or coffee was also available for the rest of the day.

Several good quality restaurants on the same street as the Sinnakhon.

Highly Recommended

Summary A very nice guest house.
Review

Clean, a/c, TV with four English language channels, electric shower. Small ensuite bathroom but good sized bedroom. We had a room on the top floor at the back.Very friendly and helpful staff. Quiet location outside of the old town which is about a 15 to 20 minute walk away. Several restaurants within a 1 minute walk.

The price we paid ($25) included breakfast – eggs, French bread, fruit, tea or coffee. Although this wasn’t apparent when we booked via Booking.com. NB It may be that only internet booking have the included breakfast.

The free wifi is probably the fastest and most reliable I have seen so far in Asia.

Highly Recommended.
