This hotel was simply delightful. The grounds are immaculately kept, rooms were spacious, very comfortable and clean, with plenty of hot water. The historical park is a 20 minute walk away or a 5 minute cycle ride and bikes are available for rent from the hotel. The staff were all sweet and helpful. We especially loved the pool which was a good size and a great place to relax after sightseeing. Definitely recommend this hotel.
Lovely garden and pool. Quiet, restful atmosphere

Decided to stay here after reading the excellent Trip Advisor reviews and wasn’t disappointed.
Ideally located if you are visiting the historic Sukhothai park (roughly 10mins by bicycle to central zone, 20-25mins walking).
Our room, bathroom, breakfast area and gardens were kept sparkling clean by the staff throughout our stay.
No restaurant within the hotel but there are many good restaurants nearby within a short walk/tuk-tuk ride. Cold drinks (beer, water, cola etc...) are available to buy in reception if you don’t want to walk to one of two nearby 7Eleven stores.
Our room was equipped with a fridge and everyday bottled water was replenished (free of charge). Likewise the amenities in the bathroom (shampoo, shower gel, soap, toilet paper) were also replenished by the staff as needed. AirCon in the room was able to make the room comfortable on even the most hot and humid days.
Bike hire (50Baht per day/per bike) was available from reception along with a lock/chain. Whilst the bikes aren’t the most modern there are enough to choose from for all shapes and sizes. Some bikes were equipped with dynamo lights although to be fair we were back most days just after dusk as we didn’t fancy cycling in the dark on Thai roads.
We had an Ok experience at Scent of Sukhothai, but would not recommend a stay of more than 1-2 nights (which is enough to check out the nearby historical park). The up sides of the place were the nice pool and garden, as well as the option to rent bikes for the day to explore the area (although don't expect bikes that run very smoothly). Apart from that, there is breakfast of quite low quality provided, with no restaurant or other meals available. It is also not possible to organize any kind if transfer with them unless you arrive at the local airport (and taxis they can arrange to phitsanulok are about twice the price of going by meter). Overall to me this is a motel that would make more sense to stay at if you have your own vehicle/ arrange for your own transport. The rooms were clean and air conditioned, but quite noisy at night. Not sure from what since the area is relatively quiet, but it seemed like there were a lot of loud bangs coming from the ceiling. Wifi also generally didn't work in the evening and since the reception is not manned during that time there was nothing to do about it. However they could arrange for someone to wait for us and give us our room key as we arrived quite late.
