Accommodation - Page 2

Comments: The BP Group run some nice hotels and although I haven't stayed at any of their operations in Hat Yai, I have stayed at the BP Samila Hotel on Samila Beach in Songkhla.

It's close to everything but - then again - most Hat Yai hotels are close to everything because Hat Yai is only a small town. They have a massage facility and the Rose restaurant also serves as a coffee shop and snack bar.

The rates are quite high for Hat Yai but every room is a suite, either a junior or a grand suite, so the standard of accommodation is higher than the average Hat Yai hotel room. They didn't appear to be offering any discounted rates when I enquired, which is unusual. If the town is quiet you should be able to get a discount.

Guest Comments:

• We were on a last minute trip and all other hotels in Haatyai was fully booked. Expecting the worst, we went there and to our surprise, the hotel and room was very nice. Its a 3-star hotel but I'll give the room we stayed in a 3.5 star. It smells and felt new. The bath/shower has huge tub (our kids loved it very much). The wooden floor is a nice touch. The 3+1 sofa set on the side of the room was unexpected and a cool place to wind down after a long day on the road. The shower is great with its powerful bubble-jet.

  The location of the hotel is not bad either. Its not right smack in the middle of happenings but its just a 5-10 minutes leisurely walk away from Novotel and Lee Garden Plaza. Halal food were in abundance. I would strongly suggest to give this hotel a try. We are very surprised that this hotel is not reviewed extensively here. Wi-fi was not ready yet and we did not have breakfast at hotel. The hotel only bell-boy (named Samroev, spelling check !!) is one of the most hardworking bell-boy we've seen. He's extremely friendly and ever ready to help without expecting anything at all. The hotel is very lucky to have him working with them. (September 2011)

Guest Comments:

• Large no personality hotel. Good prices if you can haggle. Some parts showing age and restaurant not very inspiring. Lots of Government conferences and consequently uniformed guests. But why come to Hatyai if all you want to do is stay in the hotel. This is a good place to rest your head. I was never disturbed by Malaysian sex tourists but my 12 year old son palled up with some and wanted to know why the lady in their room was lying on top of one of the men!!!!. Keep an eye on your children. (2009)

Comments: Located on the most expensive street in Hat Yai, this smallish guest house is an easy walk from Lee Gardens Plaza and everything else in the downtown area. It is very close to the two BP hotels listed above (next door to BP Grand Suite), and also several massage shops.

It's fairly new, clean, comfortable, convenient and represents good value for the location. Some of the older Hat Yai hotels and guest houses are looking really tatty these days and I think newer places like this offer much better value for money.

Guest Comments:

• 450 Baht is a very attractive price for a room with 3 stars standard in Be My Guest guesthouse. I give it 9 out of 10, since rooms are not the same size, better to choose the rooms at the front, facing the street.

Comments: Cathay is a typical Thai backpacker guest house. Backpackers love these places. They know exactly what to expect, they meet the people they want to meet, and they get the information they need.

The staff are friendly, both in the guest house and at the travel agents downstairs. The location is near the station, which always seems to be important to backpackers.

The staff speak fairly good English. They will be able to advise on minivans to Samui, and where to buy copies of Lonely Planet and baggy fisherman pants, etc.

Comments: Establishments named 'Mansion' in Thailand are usually for long-term residents and rent rooms by the month. This place breaks the rule. It only rents rooms by the night.

The location is excellent, being literally a stone's throw from Lee Gardens Plaza. It is located above a branch of 7-Eleven, just opposite the Mayflower Grande Hotel.

The room rates are cheap considering the location and all rooms have A/C.

Guest Comments:

• The Center One Mansion has the same management as The Greenview Hotel and I was informed by the friendly receptionist cum desk manager named Duane that that hotel has now free WiFi throughout the hotel unlike the last time I stayed there where the signal was limited to the lobby, I think the room is a bit small but overall with 600 baht and a simple hearty Thai style breakfast without any pork served, I will be returning back to this place for a return stay, one of the staff asked me when will I return back, a first time for me, think I had mentioned this to you earlier.

  Anyway, the Center 1 Mansion has rates that stays the same throughout the year, rooms are at 380 baht, 420 baht for twin beds and 520 bahts for a family room. Wifi is very good at 150 Mbps, the room is very spartan without a proper chair or a writing desk and there is not a single side or bedroom lamp at all. A big standing fridge and a tv set with 8 channels are in this room. The bathroom is clean yet a lot of wear and tear with regards to the the shower head and there was a leakage from the hot/cold shower set.

  I think with Hat Yai firmly back on it's tracks, the Tune Hotel to appear next year and with apartments in central Hat Yai getting to be very popular, hopefully the management will clean up the rooms especially with the cobwebs and the stains on the walls. I stayed on the 2nd floor, room 227 which faces the parking entrance of Lee Gardens Plaza. VC Apartment has a more bigger and cleaner room with wifi but the security guy who watches over parking was a bloody fool who did not bother to ask me if I need a room when I arrived there 2 weeks ago.

  I am sure that the people at VC are now acting as if all tourists are desperate to stay only in central so they cannot be bothered to entertain me...I have to admit that place offers the best deal at 500 baht but then, it will increase during the peak periods at 25%... something that Center 1 will not do. A 7-11 store is just beside the apartment and Salma restaurant is just across the street. The price for bottled water is very cheap if you wish to buy here and I took note of an electric thermos with some thermos that can be borrowed by the renters. I can park my Honda bike in front yet it is still not noisy at all as people come and go, it is an apartment indeed. (October 2011)

Comments: Located close to Baan Tidtaa, this place is similar in that it is in a quiet location just behind Sri Nakorn school.

It's fairly small with just 32 rooms, some of which are air-conditioned. Baan Tidtaa and this place might appeal to someone who favours tranquility over convenience.

One word of warning. Although it is quiet in the daytime, there is a bar located nearby and I'm not sure how noisy it might get at night as I have never actually stayed there overnight.

Comments: This is a pleasant building with bright, airy, comfortable, and relatively spacious rooms. The rooms made me feel comfortable straight away, which isn't always the case in Thailand.

The location is a little way out of town, next to Rosa Plaza where coach loads of Malaysian tour groups arrive each day to buy tourist trinkets. Thammanoonvithi Road (I've used the same spelling as the business card) is where you will find Hat Yai's nightlife and there are plenty of evening entertainment venues nearby. Getting into town from Chaophaya Mansion is about a 15 minute walk.

At Bt5,500 a month, the rate is roughly twice what local Thais expect to pay so there are normally rooms available. Water and electricity rates are fairly standard prices. The rooms have TVs and small fridges.

One major drawback is the lack of any Internet access. I would not move into a place now without an Internet connection and most new places offer this. Some of the older places seem very reluctant about getting it installed and obviously don't realise how important this is to many people these days. The girl who showed me the room said I could get it connected myself but couldn't tell me how.

Guest Comments:

• There is wireless internet now and it is a decent connection. There's somewhat of a problem with tiny ants crawling around everywhere but they are harmless. The owner is a sweetheart and will do almost anything to accomodate you. (November 2011)

Comments: Chudchada Place is primarily a long stay residence but there are rooms they rent out on a hotel basis by the day. Thungsao Road is close to the bus station. It's a seedy and not very attractive area but this place is in a fairly quiet Soi.

It looked quite reasonable. The rooms have TVs with UBC, fridges, hot water, built-in furniture and Internet access. There is CCTV security (though I'm not sure about a security guard) and a carpark. All the rooms are the same but those on higher floors are Bt200 a month more expensive.

Overall, I would say it represents good value for money.

Comments: The City Park is located almost next to Carrefour on the busy Phetkasem Road but set back a little way from the road so traffic noise isn't too bad. This is a fairly typical Hat Yai mid-price hotel but because it is a little way from the centre of town it doesn't get many tourists. It might suit people who prefer a quieter environment compared to downtown Hat Yai.

The hotel has a restaurant and this becomes a kind of lounge in the evening where you can listen to pretty Thai girls singing. Like many other Hat Yai hotels, this one also has a massage shop on the premises.

Being next to Carrefour, it is handy for shopping and there are all kinds of public transport options on the busy Phetkasem Road just a few yards away. It is as easy to get a minivan or bus to Songkhla in one direction as it is to get a sawng-thaew to downtown Hat Yai in the other.

Comments: The building was completed in 2008 but stood empty for several months before Cosy Place was opened for business. As you can see from the photo, it is a large apartment building.

It is located on a part of Thammanoonvithi Road where there are several bars and also the plushest bath and massage house in Hat Yai. This is very handy if you suddenly feel the urge for an assisted bath with a pretty young Thai girl.

Rooms cost Bt5,000 a month and are fairly similar apart from a few that are a little larger. Rooms have A/C, and bathrooms have water heaters. This sounds obvious but it isn't always the case in provincial Thailand.

There is a water charge of Bt150 per month and electricity is charged at Bt6 per unit. An Internet connection is available for Bt400 per month. There is also a 24 hour security guard service which is quite important in Hat Yai.

Amazingly, there is a web site, and amazingly it seems to work (if you can read Thai).

Comments: This is one of the cleanest hotels I have ever seen in Thailand. The toilets behind reception are clean to Singapore standards and not only are the urinals not full of cigarette butts but there is actually soap and a hand dryer that works. Finding soap and being able to dry your hands in a toilet in Thailand is almost unheard of.

The hotel is located near Makro and the bus station. It's ideal if you have an early bus to catch in the morning but not very convenient for getting into town. However, the night market which operates from Thursday to Sunday is just across the road. Tesco Lotus and the Prince of Songkhla hospital/university are within walking distance.

For the location the rate is expensive but if you are fussy about cleanliness and hygiene you won't go far wrong.

Comments: A big hotel (around 180 rooms) which is popular with Chinese Malaysians.

There are conference facilities in the hotel so you will also find groups of corporate Thais who are there for meetings. Leisure facilities cater exclusively for the Chinese clientele with a Chinese restaurant, Mandarin coffee shop, massage parlour and lounge for evening entertainment. There is also a snooker club.

At hotels like this in Hat Yai you are more likely to hear Chinese being spoken than Thai.

Guest Comments:

• I came to stay at this hotel by mistake as I spoke to the driver of the airport van and mentioned the wrong name (actually I wanted to stay at Kosit Hotel) but he sent me there last, alighted from the van and quickly put in some words to the bellboy. The room was spacious and faces the wonderful "happenings area" in Hat Yai and an electric pot was provided. There is a surau for Muslims to pray opposite this hotel and the bellboy was always inquiring about booking a lady which I politely declined. It was not a problem to seek halal food as Daicha Chicken Restaurant is a walking distance away and the room was clean and the receptionist polite. I would not mind the distance to the town center as it fits my needs and I would be back again, one day. (March 2008)
