Loftel @ Nakhon

The rooms at Loftel @ Nakhon include doubles and twins with balconies, a Triple Family Room and a Quadraple Room, both 32 m² and with a garden view. The Triple Family Room has a queen bed and a single bed, and the Quadraple Room has two bunk beds, so both are set up for a larger party travelling together.

Several rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, and some have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV or a refrigerator. Extra beds depend on the room you choose, and a baby cot can be requested directly from the property, subject to availability.

A 24-hour front desk is on site, but check-in is from 14:00 to 22:00. The hostel has restaurants, a bar and a coffee shop, daily housekeeping, an elevator, and meeting or banquet facilities. Bicycle rental and car hire are offered, and English and Thai are spoken on site.

Wi-Fi is free in all rooms and in the public areas, and the rooms have wireless internet access and flat-screen TVs. Air conditioning is also in the public area. Guests who want to get around can use the bicycle rental or the car hire service, and meeting and banquet facilities are available for group events. A designated smoking area is on site, and some rooms are non-smoking.

Loftel @ Nakhon stands on Soi Thawang in Nakhon Si Thammarat, a provincial city in southern Thailand known for its old temples, its markets and its southern shadow puppetry. The streets around the hostel carry the rhythm of a working town, with local shops and food stalls. The area is about daily life in southern Thailand rather than a beach resort, with the town's pace set by its markets and temples.

Bovorn Bazar, a market, is 700 m from the hostel, and the Ratchaphruek Night Bazaar Market is 1 km away. A little further out, Wat Hua It pagoda and the National Museum are also worth a visit, and the Suchart Subsin's Shadow Puppet Museum shows the shadow puppet tradition. The Nakhon Si Thammarat railway station is 1.3 km away, and Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport is 10.8 km away.

In the evening, the Ratchaphruek Night Bazaar Market is a good place to eat and browse, and a morning visit to the shadow puppet museum or the National Museum fills a day in town. Parking is available on site for guests who travel by car. Ending the day with dinner at the night market and a short walk back to the hostel is a simple way to round off a visit to the town.
