We did not stay at the resort, but went for my birthday dinner there as our resort did not have a restaurant.
At the reception we were welcomed with the warmest smiles and reliable and trustworthy information. Even though there was a big family reunion occupying almost all the restaurant we were promised a quiet table - which we later got - and were served the most delicious food.

On my first visit to the Tharaburi Resort, I had really enjoyed the place, it was nice and peaceful. This is still the case but I would advise this place only for its proximity to the ruins, its main selling point.
One good improvement, the bikes are new and well maintained.
We spent 2 days at the archaeological site of Sukhothai. When planning our visit we were looking for an accommodation closed to the ruins so to be free in our plans. The Tharaburi is in a very good location. Just rent a bike at the hotel (50 thb per day) and ride 7 minutes to the site main entrance. Lots of restaurants, shops for food and drink nearby. We were there during low season, so the hotel was not very busy. The staff is very welcoming and following our request, they offered us their best room available, looking on a nice little pond outside. Room and bathroom were very clean, nicely furnished, in-room safe working properly. Swimming pool could be kept cleaner, considering the low occupancy. Breakfast was average. We had a thai massage in house with very good professionals performing it; overpriced compared with Thailand's average but anyway very good quality.
Private taxi pick-ups working perfectly, but count with European prices. Could improve breakfast service but the hotel is surely recommended for their location-quality value.
We stay 2nights to visit sukhothai( 13-14th August). We chose tharaburi because of TA and were dissapointed of the place. our room needed renovation. stains on the wall, painting scratch on the ceiling. The design should have been nice but poor maintenance put all this like deserted place. the worst is the maintenance. We had issues with shower plug blocked and water flowed in the bathroom. We requested 3 times before a housekeeping lady came!!! we had to show her how to fix it with a screwdriver...
The AirCon was leaking water and spoiled our luggage and guess what? who came? the housekeeping lady who put a towel on our luggage!!!canyou believe that?
there's no handyman in this hotel to fix maintenance issues. housekeeping is left by it self to fix maintenance.
Breakfast : this can't be what thai can provide at its best (processed food, set of yougourt, milk, artificial orange flavour drink) and fried eggs. Come on, where is the manager to make the cook and the handyman doing their job?
The funniest thing is the hotel hired a photograph for the advertisement. I can tell you the pictures hide very well the need of renovation.
This resort is a great place to stay while visiting sukhothai historical park. Our room was very pretty and comfortable for our 2 night stay. We loved the complimentary bicycles and the service was good and personal, with friendly staff. All meals we ate within the resort were delicious. This resort has a great location being approximately 10mins from the historical park by bicycle.
Maybe it was the poor weather, maybe it is just us, and for sure it were our high expectations, fueled by their own website and some reviews: but we were very disappointed after our stay of 3 nights. It started on the 1st day; after staying in guest houses without pool, the kids were dying for a swim, but the pool was closed due too cleaning with, as appeared later, an overload of chlorine. With the exception of the manager and one male staff the rest of the crew was unattentive and sloppy. Most of them just hung out in front of the TV in the restaurant. On day 1 there was no sprite (but listed on the menu), no big deal if out of stock for one day, but on day 2,3 and 4 same thing, in spite of the 7-eleven close by. On day 2 no cocktails, as the maker was on leave that day...again no big deal, but for such a pretentious resort a laugh!
Family suite is nice for the parents, but the kids were put in a stuffy attic room without windows. So better to book 2 rooms.
Old Sukhitai is fantastic and the resort within an easy bike ride well located. So with some better management this is potentially a good place to go. But for now it does not deliver value for money.
