We were able to make the most of the transportation and go see everything we wanted easily, quickly and reasonable. We only needed 3 days to do all the thing we wanted. I would recommend the 3D museum with Magic show worth the cost. Then we went to the Hat Yai Park turned out to be a good couple hours.
This is our 3rd time staying here. We brought our parents this time to celebrate my mother's birthday. The room is well clean, everything looks new in the room. Internet is damn fast & very stable. Walking distance to eatery, easy access to the main road near Songkla University. Around 10mins to town, close to Greenway. Staff speaks very little English but if ...
The owner is nice and friendly. The room on the 1st floor has a musky smell, mosquitoes and cockroaches. Room on 2nd floor is much better. Good deal for long term stay.
a lovely hotel but yet not in a strategic location. you need to walk to the main road (~10mins) and get a thuk thuk to town. not recommended for couple or solo traveller because you will be having problems to hire a thuk-thuk as they will charge you just to go to the town. it will be good if you come with bunch of friends says 8-10 persons! staffs were polite, we arriv...
I am more that happy this Resident is a Hotel as well, they assisted me in every request, I ate there and the home cook meals were the best, they helped with wording on the selection ha ha its not hard to ask.

not busy traffic , and easy to go anywhere in hadyai , opposite side of songkhla university gate.and also easy to eat.
We have good quality sleep at here. Thumbs up!
Suitable for those travel with own car, spacious room with plenty of car park slots, a few km from town, less congested with tourists, great option if you prefer somewhere less tourists. The building located at the roadside, try to pick higher floor if possible to avoid noise distraction from the moving vehicle. Overall the rating is above average.
The hotel was every bit up to expectations, the place is clean and tidy, and services were fuss-free as well, took just a couple of minutes to check-in. The rooms were spacious, but the room furniture could do with a bit of refurbishment.
This temporary rental property is a place to contact directly with a walk in the quiz. But other issues on the topic, open a comment on the web. I saw that everything was wonderful. I sincerely give you a high esteem. Thank you.
in my overnight transit in hatyai after the aftermath of the recent bombing, i chose something outside the city centre and, to my surprised found this small hotel. it is quiet and comfortable and although the receptionist speaks no english, she will quickly enlist someone who does. the 'mansion' also houses other long term residents and is about 100 m off the main road...
this hotel is consider ok for us. the price is quite reasonable.the hotel is quite new. the room is quite large and clean. it is a bit far from the town area. it is no problem if you are having a car there. it is quite easy to find the hotel, it is near to the prince of songkhla university.
Very nice and peace place to stay and very clean will go again with family maybe next year for vacation and very near to the town just abaut 15 minute drive from the hotel to the city.good food and the prices are cheep olso.
it was good only problem was when I check in, there was no my booking. so they arranged me standard room for first night , then move to suite which I booked 2nd night. also pay me back some cash.
Parking is very convenient as your car is parked right smack in front of your room door. Problem is, food is not within walking distance. Not a good choice if you are not self driving as it is located about 15 mins from city center. Room is clean, spacious and serene. Great for families!
