I had a wonderful few days in hotel phanom rong puri. A very clean hotel with helpful staff, some who speak English well. They arranged a comfortable car/ pick up to go to the temples, which are about 20/25 km s away.The driver was in no hurry and I stayed around 3 hours in all visiting the 2 temples.cost 1200 baht.
The hotel rooms are clean, simple, Tv air con, good shower room, fridge, and room service. There is a small ish pool too. A very good restaurant where you get a special house guest price, and my evening meals cost me around 200 baht, including big bottle of beer !!!! Meals around 99 baht. The only negative point is maybe the noise of traffic from the main road.There is nothing in the town of nang rong, so 2 nights there is ample to visit the ruins.

Nang Rong is a dump but close to the important historical park. This hotel is thankfully on the edge of this uninspiring city. About 2 years old it has large clean rooms and good aircon. Staff are friendly but limited english. Breakfast is nothing special but overall a very good hotel and superb value.

I love my stay at Phanomrungpuri Hotel. The staff was super friendly and always available to help us with everything. The food was very good, the rooms were confortable and had and ocidental bathroom (good to know if you are tired of the thai style bathroom). Sometimes the staff had a little difficulty with the english, but that didn't become a problem as we always manage to make ourselfs understood. We love our stay at this hotel!
