I was visiting Ayutthaya in November, 2015 with my husband and we had hired a mini van to take us around to all the temples in Ayutthaya from Don Muang Airport in Bangkok. We walked to this temple from Wat Phra Mahathat and it was absolutely delightful to see old Buddhist relics. Really enjoyed our visit to Wat Yanasen, and it is worth the short walk from Wat Phra Mahathat. Maybe spend about 20 minutes reading all the boards that will help with understanding the architecture.
Since this temple is not mentioned in many guide book nor the map that you can get from the hotel that you are staying, there is few people at this temple. If you want calm atmosphere, go this temple.
