Srilamduan Hotel — a central Sisaket hotel with a pool for a little over a thousand baht
If you're in Sisaket and want a central base that's easy to get around, has a pool to cool off in, and won't stretch the budget, Srilamduan Hotel is a name locals and value-minded travellers mention often. Open since 2011, it sits on Yothathikan Road near the government offices and the heart of town. The rooms are spacious, there's an on-site restaurant, free parking and an EV charging point. Rates start from approx. THB 1,100/night, and it scores 8.3 from 41 reviews on Trip.com.
The first thing guests mention is the location. Srilamduan Hotel sits on Yothathikan Road, in the heart of Sisaket, close to the government offices, the markets and the town's restaurants. It's about 3 km by car to Sisaket railway station, and getting around town is easy. For anyone here on official business, for work, or stopping over before heading on to Pha Mo I Daeng and Preah Vihear, this kind of location works well for a night or two.
What sets this hotel apart from similarly priced places in town is that it has an outdoor pool. At Sisaket's low-thousand-baht price point, a pool to swim in is a real plus that many guests appreciate, especially families travelling with children. On top of that there's an on-site restaurant, free parking, an EV charging point and a massage room — enough to relax without having to head out far.
"The room was bigger than I expected, clean, with good hot water and a soft bed. The staff were smiling and friendly, and there was plenty of food. Great value for Sisaket."
Rooms come mainly as Superior (one large bed or two singles) and Deluxe (a queen bed). The most-praised points are the spacious rooms and the cleanliness. Many reviews say the rooms are larger than expected for the price, the beds comfortable and the hot water strong. Each room has a fridge, air conditioning, a work desk and free Wi-Fi.
Service is another point guests praise often. The staff are friendly and helpful, both at the desk and in the restaurant. Breakfast is provided, but to be honest several reviews feel the breakfast choice is a little limited — not as varied as a bigger hotel. As for the pool, while it's a genuine plus, some guests feel it isn't very private, as it can be seen from several angles.
One thing to know before booking: the building has been open since 2011, so there are some signs of wear in places. A few reviews mention hearing passing trains, since the town isn't large, and some water noise from the next room in certain rooms. Some rooms don't have a kettle or a coffee set. Overall it remains a clean, good-value place that suits travellers who aren't too fussy about how new the building is.
In short, Srilamduan Hotel is best for travellers after a central Sisaket base, easy on the wallet, with a pool and free parking. If you're expecting a brand-new hotel or luxury-level service, this isn't it. But if you want a spacious, clean room and friendly staff for a little over a thousand baht in the heart of town, it delivers well for the money. The 8.3 from 41 reviews on Trip.com reflects that fairly.
A tip from following the reviews: if you're a light sleeper, ask for a higher floor or a room away from the road to cut down on noise. And if you want tea or coffee in the room, bring your own kit or check at the desk on arrival, as some rooms don't have one.
