Introduction

The Hat Yai economy depends very much on tourism and therefore you will find a wide selection of hotels and guest houses in all price ranges. At the bottom end of the market are some cheap guest houses near the train station and in 2014/2015 three new hostels opened in central Hat Yai offering dormitory-style accommodation.

At the top end are some large tourist class hotels. These are more in line with the standards of luxury and comfort that are expected from many Malaysian and Singaporean visitors; after all it is visitors from these countries that make up the bulk of Hat Yai's tourist industry.

In the middle range are many budget hotels, the like of which can be found throughout Thailand. They aren't exactly luxurious but they are functional and cheap.

If you need to book a hotel in Hat Yai I have put together thirteen pages of hotel listings (starting with this page) to help you. Links to the other pages can be found at the bottom of this one. I have visited all of these hotels personally. Using the Agoda links on these pages to book hotels anywhere will get you the best deal and it will also help me with the ongoing costs of running this site.

Where's The Best Place To Stay In Hat Yai?

What should I eat for lunch?

With some questions only you know the answer. If you have an early plane, train or bus to catch the following morning you might want to stay near the airport, train station or bus station. If you like being in rural Thailand you might want to stay well out of the downtown area. There are some areas of Hat Yai I dislike, but some hotels in those areas keep very busy. None of us can decide what is best for other people.

It's an impossible question to answer, but I will add a few comments.

Most visitors to Hat Yai stay for a few days and their main activities seem to be shopping, eating, massage and maybe a visit to a local temple to do some merit-making.

For many years up until 2013, the focal point of Hat Yai's central tourist district was Lee Gardens Plaza. In this area there are traditional markets, modern department stores, restaurants and lots of massage shops. There still are, but there was a major change in December 2013 when Central Festival opened.

The Hat Yai branch of Central Festival is the biggest shopping mall in southern Thailand and attracts millions of people every year from all over southern Thailand, as well as from Singapore, Malaysia and other countries. As a result, many retailers and restaurants moved from the Lee Gardens Plaza to Central Festival.

Most hotels in Hat Yai were built before 2013 and they are quite close to Lee Gardens Plaza. However, since 2013 a number of new hotels and guest houses have been built closer to Central Festival because this is where tourists now want to be. If your primary reason for visiting Hat Yai is to shop and dine at Central Festival and you wish to stay as close as you can, the following page may be useful.

Ten Places To Stay Near Central Festival In Hat Yai

Bear in mind, also, that Hat Yai is a small town compared to somewhere such as Bangkok. Regardless of where you stay it is never very difficult to get to somewhere else in town.

If you stay in the downtown area but wish to visit Central Festival it isn't too far and there are even some free shuttle services to take you.

Please check out my hotel information in the following pages where I will tell you about location and whether it is necessary to have your own transport, or not.

Family Hotels In Hat Yai

I have a young family and when I travel in Thailand I look out for hotels that offer facilities for small children. Keeping my kids occupied is a full-time job and if a hotel has a children's room and staff to take care of children it really helps. Some hotels in Thailand do have such facilities.

Presumably, some people with young children who visit Hat Yai are in the same situation and it occurred to me that making a list of suitable hotels in Hat Yai would be a good idea. However, there was a small problem. I couldn't find any.

Hat Yai isn't like Phuket and other such places where European families go for a relaxing two week vacation. It is used primarily as a cheap escape from Malaysia or Singapore for weekend breaks and the main activities are shopping, massage and eating with excursions to the floating market and a temple or two.

Many Hat Yai hotels have in-house massage shops, a few have gyms, swimming pools and spas, but I couldn't find anything suitable for children.

I live in Hat Yai and therefore don't use Hat Yai hotels. If I did, I would stay in one of the larger hotels and would stay away from the hotels that have active nightlife facilities and attract a lot of single men. I have no particular issue with the commercial sex scene in Hat Yai, but I don't really want to expose my kids to what goes on. Also, I wouldn't want to stay somewhere that is noisy at night.

Busy Periods

Hat Yai isn't like the farang tourist resorts in Thailand, which have high and low seasons at different times of the year. The tourist trade in Hat Yai is fairly constant throughout the year with peaks at certain times.

Hat Yai is a rest and recreation resort primarily for Malaysians, but also for Singaporeans. Visitors from these countries tend to come for the weekend and the town starts to get busy on a Thursday. Fridays and Saturdays can be very busy, but there is a distinct difference on Monday mornings after most of the weekend tourists have gone home.

 

Chinese New Year in Hat Yai, 2005

Chinese New Year in Hat Yai, 2005

 

Malaysian public holidays and long weekends are also busy times for Hat Yai. For example, the end of Ramadan may be a celebration for Muslim Malays but it's also a public holiday for everyone in Malaysia and consequently Hat Yai is always jam packed with Chinese Malaysian tourists at the end of Ramadan.

There are also some other events in the Hat Yai calendar that are well known to Malaysians and these times tend to be very busy. For example, there is a huge merit-making ceremony in August with over 10,000 monks in attendance, and the Chinese vegetarian festival in September attracts a lot of ethnic Chinese visitors.

I mention this because depending when you arrive will affect how easy it is to find a decent place to stay. There are so many hotel rooms in Hat Yai that it will always possible to find somewhere to stay but what is available may not be exactly what you had in mind.

Most visitors are ethnic Chinese. Malaysians make up the bulk followed by Singaporeans but there are a growing number of visitors from Hong Kong and mainland China. Because of this, Chinese New Year can get very busy and hotels get booked up well in advance.

If you are planning to visit Hat Yai in late January or early February, do an Internet search to see what date Chinese New Year falls on for the year you are visiting. If you are coming at any other time of year alter your search to 'public holidays Malaysia'.

If your visit coincides with either Chinese New Year or a Malaysian public holiday it might be an idea to book somewhere on-line in order to make an advance reservation.

The Western New Year is also a busy time and hotels are normally busy in the week between Christmas and New Year. The local municipality close off some streets at New Year in which they organise a food fair and there is a countdown to welcome in the New Year. Thais pronounce this kow-dow.

Travel Agent Discounts

Konsortium travel agent, Hat Yai - Click for larger image You might think that if a travel agent was selling hotel rooms they would add their commission and make it more expensive than going direct to the hotel. Right?

Not necessarily. Travel agents around Hat Yai can offer savings on hotel rates at hotels just a few yards away. Find a hotel you like and ask reception what the walk-in rate is. Then go to a travel agent, such as Konsortium who are located opposite Lee Gardens Plaza, and ask them what rate they can give you for the same hotel. It will probably be cheaper.

Bear in mind though that the rate quoted by the hotel may include breakfast for two whereas the travel agent price may not. Make sure you find out exactly what is included and then work out what suits you best.

If you use a travel agent to book a room you pay the agent who will give you a voucher which you then take to the hotel. It can be a simple way to save money.

Booking Accommodation

Dealing directly with hotels in Thailand can be difficult and frustrating. English language skills are extremely poor in Thailand and I have received e-mails on several occasions complaining that Thai hotels don't reply to e-mails.

The best way to book in advance is to go through a reputable booking company, such as Agoda. The Agoda website is excellent and they offer a wide selection of hotels in Thailand at the best prices.

Even if you arrive without a booking at the busiest time of year you will most likely be able to find somewhere to stay, but it might not be your first choice of hotel or location. It is always best to book in advance.

Long Stay Accommodation

Most visitors to Hat Yai tend to stay just for a few days. Farang backpackers travelling up and down the peninsula stay for even less. Ideally, most would prefer to pass straight through but they are sometimes forced to stay overnight to get their onward connection.

Nonetheless, I have provided some details about long stay accommodation for people who are interested in longer stays or perhaps they will be working (or teaching) in Hat Yai.

Hat Yai has a lot of rooms for rent at the bottom end of the market for local Thais or for Thais who have gone there to work from other parts of the country and want to keep their expenses to an absolute minimum. To be frank, these aren't very pleasant at all and wouldn't suit many Westerners.

 

House for rent in Hat Yai

House for rent in Hat Yai

 

More upmarket long term accommodation can be difficult to find but a few decent places do exist. Of course, staying in hotels is one option for long stays but it gets expensive and it isn't very personal or homely.

Houses are actually very cheap to rent, especially if you are willing to live a little way out of town. They can be as cheap as Bt3,000 a month. Utility bills are extra and it will be necessary to spend money on furniture, bedding, towels and kitchenware etc.

All of these items are relatively cheap in Thailand but obviously this wouldn't be worth doing for just a few months. If living in a house you will need to take care of your own security. Bag snatching and house break-ins are a big problem in Hat Yai; just look at the number of window bars and barbed-wire fences outside Thai houses.

A Thai friend of mine was burgled about five times in one month. He ended up just leaving the door open so the thieves could get in without causing any damage. Most apartment buildings have 24-hour security guards and CCTV so you don't need to worry as much but you still need to be careful. There was a spate of break-ins at my apartment building before the thief/rapist was caught.

Disclaimer

These are not reviews as such and I have not stayed in the majority of hotels listed below. I have tried to include some basic information (location, contact details, room rates, facilities, etc) and a photo just to give anyone interested a very general idea.

In addition, I have made some comments based on my initial impressions. How new is the accommodation? What state were the rooms in? What kind of people tend to stay there? How friendly - or otherwise - were the staff? Is the location convenient?

Some have contacted me through this site with comments about Hat Yai hotels they have stayed in and I have added these. Guest comments remain completely unedited and their inclusion does not necessarily indicate that I agree.

Nothing here should be taken very seriously. You may love a place I detest, and vice-versa. We all have very different requirements and different ideas about what makes a place good or not.

Room rate information was provided by the individual establishments and was correct at the time of posting. You may find that there has been a price increase, or you may even be offered a lower rate.

Comments: This hotel is near Hat Yai airport and it is a cheaper alternative to the Southern Airport Hotel just down the road.

The walk-in rate is Bt699 and if you pay this rate they offer a free shuttle service to and from the airport. However, if you book on-line they don't. Presumably, this is because on-line rates are cheaper and this squeezes their profit margin.

Comments: I drove past this hotel often while it was being built. At first I didn't know what it was, apart from that it was very large. After a while it started to show signs of Islamic architecture and I thought it might be a mosque. When it opened in April 2019 I realised it was a hotel.

This hotel will obviously suit Muslims, but people of any religion can stay there. The food is halal and thus there is no pork or alcohol served. It's a very large building, but there are only 79 rooms and the pleasantly decorated rooms are larger than most hotel rooms in Hat Yai.

Deluxe rooms (twin beds or one large bed) are priced at Bt1,590 including breakfast for two people. Family rooms are Bt2,090 including breakfast for three people. More people can stay in the rooms, but extra people will need to pay for breakfast, which is a very reasonable Bt79. There are also suites for Bt3,090. Some of the larger rooms have genuine jacuzzi bathtubs. These are walk-in rates, but you should be able to get a better deal on-line.

I was impressed with this hotel. It's very roomy, very comfortable and the staff were very pleasant. On the negative side, it's fairly remote and there is nothing in the area. It's located on a busy road outside of Hat Yai centre and there is nothing (apart from Megahome) within walking distance. If you stay here you will need a car.

The airport is fairly close, but there is no airport shuttle service. One of the front desk staff told me that there may be in the future. If you need to get to the airport the front desk will be happy to call for a taxi.

There is a swimming pool and because the hotel has been designed for Muslims it is divided into two - one for men and one for women. The restaurant looks good, but I haven't eaten there yet. As might be expected, there is a prayer room.

This is quite a unique hotel in Hat Yai and the location is a bit out of the way. It's a hotel that some people will love, but it won't suit others.

Comments: This hotel opened on 9th February 2013.

It is quite a large hotel with 189 rooms. Before this latest reincarnation it was previously the Montien Hotel. The location is next door to the Kings Hotel and it is a short walk to the railway station, Robinson department store, and Lee Gardens Plaza.

Being called the Aloha hotel you might have expected an Hawaiian theme with hula dancing female staff clad in grass skirts placing leis around the necks of weary guests as they disembark from their Malaysian tour buses. Not quite. However, there are some paper pineapple decorations in reception to conjure up the South Sea Islands experience.

It uses the standard design for hotel rooms in Thailand. The small rooms are functional, if not luxurious. The bathrooms are also small. Kettles and drink-making facilities are provided in the rooms.

Hotel facilities listed on the hotel brochure include: 24 hour free Wi-Fi, LED TVs, laundry service, car park, smart hotel lock, elevator, airport transfer, safety deposit boxes, hair dryer, kettle.

The Aloha health massage shop (which offers Thai, oil and foot massage) is located on the third floor and is open from 08:00 to 22:30.

As ever, if you stay here and would care to let me have your thoughts about the hotel, I always appreciate receiving feedback from real guests and it helps to make the information on this site more useful.

Guest Comments:

  • This is a decent hotel. Standard Double is 1,050 Baht. Most expensive room is 1,950. No deposit. Price is little higher than other hotels in town. But this is a brand new. It is worthy to stay. Staff is very kind. Two lifts are there. You do not need to wait so long to going upstairs even though hotels has many rooms. Hotel restaurant offers breakfast with 100 Bath.

    There is a fridge inside. Nothing inside. That was good for me. Two complimentary bottled water were given. Flat TV has few Thai and Malaysia channels. NHK and KBS world, too. Room was clean and spacious. View is good, too. Shower is big enough. There are many connecting rooms. It really looks good for big family or friends. Many Chinese Malaysian families are staying there. If you have a big family, this hotel is one of good choice.

    Hotel is located on the way to Hatyai station and Robinson. If you can not find this hotel, just get a train station and Robinson as your landmark. You will not miss it. Surrounding is calm and peaceful. This is just two small blocks away from Lee Garden Plaza. Great atmosphere!

    Overall, I liked here. (July 2013)

Comments: The big Malaysian tour bus outside the hotel in this photo says a lot about the tourist trade in Hat Yai. When I took the photo there were three outside this hotel alone and dozens more elsewhere around town. More Malaysians than any other nationality visit Thailand as tourists - a fact that shouldn't come as a surprise given that Malaysia has a fairly healthy economy and is so close. Hat Yai is less than an hour from the Malaysian border.

The Ambassador is just one of many mid-class hotels in Hat Yai that has been built and operates almost exclusively to deal with the Malaysian tourist trade. For a very small amount of money, weekend tourists can get an adequate room and save their Ringgits for other pleasures.

In these pages you will find lots more similar hotels and maybe a few that are a little different.

The Ambassador closed temporarily some time in 2007 or 2008 while a refurbishment was carried out. Naturally, when it reopened the rooms rates had gone up. Before the refurbishment the rate was Bt480 but afterwards it went up to Bt580 and then to Bt680. That's still not a lot of money and I'm sure the additional comfort of the refurbishment is worth the extra Bt100.

In November 2015 I checked hotel room rates in Hat Yai again so that I could update the information here and whereas room rates had increased everywhere else, they had actually fallen at the Ambassador. The price I was given was just Bt600.

  • Stayed here again. Room rate still 680 baht. Once again In found this to be a good hotel that I would stay at again. (June 2014)
  • 680 baht now. The hotel is pretty good, rooms are in good condition, the wifi works, and there is hot water most of the time. One morning the water was not very warm but I might have been the only guest. The staff are very nice, from the front desk to the cleaning ladies they are all friendly. I'll stay here again.

Comments: This is another Hat Yai hotel that has undergone a name change in recent years. It used to be known as the Hat Yai Asia Hotel, but now it is the Asia Grand Hotel. Exactly the same thing happened to the Hat Yai Merlin Hotel when it became the Merlin Grand Hotel. I therefore suspect that both hotels may have the same ownership.

It is next door to the Friendlytel Hotel and in the same area as the Daiichi and Merlin Grand hotels.

It's a standard low-mid price range hotel in Hat Yai. There is quite a lot going on in the evenings in this area and it's a fairly easy walk to Lee Gardens plaza from the hotel.

Even though I've never stayed there myself, it looks fine and where else in the world are hotels this cheap?

The hotel room rates quoted on this site are walk-in rates, also known as rack rates. These are full price rates with no discounts, and in most cases this is the most expensive way to pay for a hotel room.

Booking your hotel through an on-line travel agent is the easiest and most convenient way to get the cheapest deal available. I recommend Agoda.

Comments: The Asian Hotel is quite large with 184 rooms. It underwent a big refit in 2006 to spruce things up a bit and probably to justify higher room rates. The room rates are quite reasonable and I have seen some good deals on-line.

If you find a good on-line deal you can get a junior or family suite at the Asian for the same price as a standard room in a four star hotel elsewhere.

The facilities listed on the hotel business card are: Lucky Restaurant, Asian Barber, Kabuki Exclusive Club, Kangsadal and Namniphat Function Rooms. There used to be a massage shop, but the card doesn't mention it and I'm not sure whether it still exists. This isn't a problem if you want a massage because Hat Yai has hundreds of massage shops.

Comments: This hotel opened on 7 October 2019. It has 60 pleasant rooms on seven floors, but there is no restaurant and therefore no breakfast available. The rooms have large windows, which makes for a light and airy feeling.

Rooms with one double bed cost Bt700, whereas rooms with twin beds cost Bt800. The location is just in front of Napalai Place (Hat Yai's first and, for a long time, only condo building) and Rajyindee hospital.

Diana department store is a short walk away and the bus station, night market and Central Festival are within a walkable distance.

It looked very comfortable to me, everything was brand new when I looked in November 2019, and the receptionist was a pleasant girl.

I normally only book hotel rooms where breakfast is included, but if you don't object to not having breakfast this is a good place.

Comments: B2 is a chain of boutique, budget hotels and this branch in Hat Yai opened in 2019.

A few years ago there were no hotels in this location. Now there are three. This one, the Siam Oriental Hotel next door, and the ATK Hatyai Hotel just round the corner.

Whenever I walk around Hat Yai or Central Festival I see that lots of restaurants and shops have closed due to lack of business. However, the downturn in the economy hasn't stopped new hotels from opening. New hotels open all the time in Hat Yai.

They cost a fortune to build and as soon as they open the owner has to start paying staff salaries and utility bills. I don't know how many make a profit, but apparently they must do otherwise people wouldn't keep investing in them.

Rooms with one double bed cost Bt790. For Bt850 you can get a room for three people with one double bed and one single bed. Suites cost Bt1,200. Prices are therefore reasonable, but there is no restaurant and therefore no breakfast included.

Immediately in front of the hotel, just yards away, is the World Wide Cafe where you can buy breakfast, coffee and cakes. This is pleasant little place and not too expensive.

Diana department store is a short walk away and the bus station, night market and Central Festival are within a walkable distance.

Longitude: E 100° 29' 40.7" (E 100° 29.678')

Google Maps: Street Map or Satellite View

Comments: This large, long-stay apartment building opened in 2010. There are three separate buildings and a total of around 200 rooms. It is located near the Kor Hong intersection just next to what is referred to on the map as the 'Transport Office'. The location is in a small Soi very close to Phetkasem Road and there is parking for cars and motorbikes.

Rooms are rented out for two prices. I believe the only extra amenity that the Bt4,400 rooms have over the Bt3,800 ones is a warm shower. All rooms are air-conditioned. The advertising blurb says that all rooms have cable TV and Internet, but I'm not sure if these are included in the basic rate or whether you have to pay extra. Rooms come with some basic furniture, a bed and a mattress. The initial deposit is Bt7,000.

I noticed a minimart, laundry shop and coffee shop close by. Big C Extra is five minutes away in a sawng-thaew, or if you go the other way and turn right at the Kor Hong intersection Tesco Lotus is about 10 minutes away.

There's not a great deal more to say. Lots of Thais live in places like this and they are purely functional living spaces. They aren't grand or attractive, but they serve a purpose at a price that is acceptable to the locals.

This particular apartment is located further out from the centre of town that many other apartment buildings. However, if you don't have your own transport there are hundreds of Bt10 sawng-thaews that travel along Phetkasem Road every day so getting around shouldn't be a problem. Just walk a few yards to the end of the Soi and flag down the next sawng-thaew that's passing.

Comments: This low cost apartment building opened in 2008 and when I looked in October there were still plenty of rooms available.

Apart from being a new place, the other benefit is the quietness of its location. The location isn't all that convenient but in Hat Yai it is difficult to get a convenient location that is also relatively quiet.

There are a variety of rooms - some with external windows, some with air-conditioning, some slightly bigger - and the people running the place seemed to be willing to make the room how you want it.

Their business card gives the location as being behind the Nissan showroom on 'Tanon 30m' which is the local nickname for Rajyindee Road.
