The very clean and newish TR has well-sized, spotless rooms. It may not be overflowing in character, but it is comfortable and centrally located. All rooms have private bathroom facilities plus there's a good little terrace area out front. There's also internet services, including free WiFi and laundry. TR can rent motorbikes for 150B per day or 200B per 24 hours.

Recommended - 13th March, 2009
Rooms are clean & comfortable. Family are very helpful and were happy to change our room so that we could get good wifi. Beer is cheap but sadly the restaurant is not open in the evening.

Deserves a much higher rating - 14th January, 2009
Perhaps Travelfish hasn't been here in a while because this place deserves to top the list of places to stay. My husband and I moved into a room (not bungalow) after a night next door and were treated to a lovely, clean place, with a comfy bed. The owners were incredibly nice and sweet. The restaurant is a little pricey, but so yummy that my husband still talks about the curry. We told them we had a computer and they put us in a room with good wifi reception. Definitely would stay here again!

Nice bungalows! - 15th February, 2008
This place is really nice - one of my favorites from a 2-month SE Asia trip. The owner speaks great English and picked us up at the station for free. I'd really recommend staying in a bungalow (if you can live without AC, which in January wasn't a problem) - they're really nice, lots of space and character. We liked the terrace area too, with free internet, a TV and lots of magazines to peruse.

A MUST STAY! - 5th January, 2010
Jan 2010 This place is absolutely fantastic. Right in the heart of town with good clean rooms, and really comfortable beds. The family are very helpful and friendly, the meals are great. I was stuck in Sukhothai because of buses and they let me wait it out in their balcony! Toh and Long are always willing to help with information and service. I had a fantastic stay in what could have been a stressful time!

Good - 13th December, 2009
Big, clean rooms with big comfortable beds. Bathroom set-up was interesting with the sink on the deck and toilet and shower in the bathroom. Only complaint is that the toilet was a scoop-flush. Good location.

Highly Recommended! - 16th September, 2009
TR Guesthouse is run by a husband-wife team. I had the best stay in Thailand when I stayed at TR Guesthouse. We stayed at one of their wooden bungalows, which were located in the back of a beautiful garden. The bungalows were also stunning, clean, spacious and the bathroom was nice. The owners, Toh and Long, really made us feel right at home. We also got to see the rooms (located in the front building), which are simple but nice and clean as well. The beds are comfortable. The prices quoted are correct: B400,- for a bungalow, B400,- for room with AC, B250,- for fanned room. The location of TR Guesthouse is excellent; approx. 50 m. from an ATM, 2 min. walk to New Sukhothai centre, approx. 1-10 min. walk to foodcarts (depending on which you like, there are many), approx. 3-4 min. walk to Song thaew station (the busses which ride to Sukhothai historical park), approx. 2 km from the city-pool and 2,5 km from Sukhothai busstation. I highly recommend eating your meals at TR, since they have a wonderful cook! Other services: free internet, free pickup at busstation, nice cosy little restaurant area in front, clean towels on a daily base (without asking), Toh and Long are always willing to provide you with the information you need. Staying at TR Guesthouse is a relaxing experience. TR Guesthouse really made me feel welcome and the prices are low so make sure to stay at this guesthouse when visiting Sukhothai!

Very friendly owners, free wifi and cheap - 23rd February, 2009
After our free pickup from the bus station we checked in our room downstairs, although the female owner said the more expensive rooms on the 1st floor were more comfortable. We had to flush the toilet with a bucket and the matress was hard, but still very good value for money. We rented two motorbikes from the guesthouse, which were very good. We got helmets for free. The restaurant has free wifi and two computers with internet for guests. The friendly owner called a tuktuk for us to go to the bus station (all the tuktuks had left by the time we wanted to go there...).

Very friendly guesthouse - 11th December, 2008
We stayed here for two nights, wish we could have stayed longer. The couple that run the place were very nice, great restaraunt, great food, really feels like you're staying with friends. Highly reccomended.

A very nice place! - 19th February, 2007
I stayed there for just one night, but I really enjoyed it. The owner and his family are super-kind and very friendly and he both came to pick me up at the bus station and dropped me there the next day free of charge. The room was nice and clean and quiet at night. Food at the restaurant was also very good and there's a nice terrace where to relax and meet other travellers. One computer with free internet is also available for guests. I'd surely recommend this place.

Nice, clean and cheap. - 16th October, 2006
The couple (and their daughter) who run this guesthouse are really nice and come to pick you up at the bus station (they even drop us there, because of the flooding) and they are very helpful. The rooms are new and very clean (but you have to get used to the flush), and the terrace is a very nice place to spend the evening. Our best stay in three weeks in Thailand!

Very clean and nice!! - 5th October, 2006
strongly recommended! the rooms are spotless and the atmosphere is relaxing. The boss is very very helpful. He offers free pickup service and takes us to and from the bus station! He also provides detailed information about touring around the place. and it only costs 100 Baht for a bed (fan room cold shower). strongly recommended!

Amazing value and service - 30th June, 2006
We stayed at TR Guesthouse on 22 & 23 Jun'06. The husband-and-wife team, Narongporn and Long spoke excellent English and were really friendly and helpful. On our last day, we checked out that morning before we went to the historical park. We inevitably returned hot and sticky that evening. Long readily offered shower facilities, and welcomed us to sit in the airconditioned lounge and watch tv during our wait. Narongporn drove us to the bus terminal at 10pm that night FOC in his very spacious and comfortable vehicle. We had all we needed and more from our comfortable stay there! The amazing ''after-sales service'' ensures that I will stay at TR guesthouse again the next time I visit Sukhothai.

Home from home feel & very helpful and accommodating owner - 24th January, 2006
Although the rooms here are perfectly fine, it's the friendly and relaxed atmosphere here that really make this place 1st class. The owner will go out of his way to make your stay perfect. There's a lovely terrace & restaurant out front, internet is FREE and they offer laundry services and bike rental. Everything you could possibly need to make the most of your stay!
