Comments: There has been a trend in Hat Yai in recent years to open smaller, boutique-style hotels that are trendier than the regular old style Thai hotels (which all look exactly the same).

The Bed Hatyai opened at the end of 2013. There are 44 rooms on six floors, however, at the time of writing (February 2014) the rooms on the 5th and 6th floors had yet to be finished.

The location is on Supasarnrangsarn Road, which has its pros and cons. Lee Gardens isn't too far away and can be reached easily on foot. In addition, there are lots of food vendors and restaurants in this area. On the downside, this road is very popular in the evenings with teenagers who like to race their motorcycles on public roads. Evenings can be quite hectic and noisy, and crossing the street can be quite difficult - if not dangerous.

Finding a space to park your car can be a real problem in this area, but The Bed has its own small private car park next to P Residence where there is space for about 10 cars.

There are two types of room - Grand and Deluxe. The rooms have one double bed and one sofa bed. The sofa bed in the Grand rooms is larger and can sleep two people.

There is no restaurant, but a small coffee shop was opened on the ground floor next to the hotel entrance in 2016.

I have visited twice to take a look and to ask about room rates, but I was given different information each time. Here are the rates at November 2015:

Superior Room Only: Bt1,000 (Mon to Thurs), Bt1,200 (Fri to Sun)

Superior Room + Breakfast for 2: Bt1,300 (Mon to Thurs), Bt1,500 (Fri to Sun)

Deluxe Room Only: Bt1,200 (Mon to Thurs), Bt1,500 (Fri to Sun)

Deluxe Room + Breakfast for 2: Bt1,500 (Mon to Thurs), Bt1,800 (Fri to Sun)

Grand Room Only (3 people): Bt1,700 (Mon to Thurs), Bt2,000 (Fri to Sun)

Grand Room + Breakfast for 3: Bt2,000 (Mon to Thurs), Bt2,300 (Fri to Sun)

Grand Room Only (4 people): Bt2,000 (Mon to Thurs), Bt2,300 (Fri to Sun)

The rates go up during festivals and holidays - New Year, Chinese New Year, Songkran, Hariraya, Christmas, etc. The following are the peak season rates:

Superior Room Only: Bt2,100

Superior Room + Breakfast for 2: Bt2,300

Deluxe Room Only: Bt2,300

Deluxe Room + Breakfast for 2: Bt2,500

Grand Room Only (3 people): Bt3,200

Grand Room + Breakfast for 3: Bt3,500

Grand Room Only (4 people): Bt3,600

Grand Room + Breakfast for 4: Bt4,000

Comments: A few years ago all the cheap places to stay in Hat Yai were quite old. Recently, however, quite a lot of new cheap places have opened. Maybe this is a result of the faltering worldwide economy and more demand for budget accommodation?

The Bedroom is in the Jutti Anusorn area. It's very close to La Pause and quite close to the Hansa JB Hotel. It isn't as comfortable as either of those places, but it is cheaper.

Small rooms for a single person are available for Bt450 and larger rooms suitable for two people are available for Bt850. These rooms are also available to rent by the month, but there is a three month minimum contract. The small rooms are Bt4,000 per month and the large rooms Bt6,000 per month.

Rooms rented by the day have TVs, but not the rooms rented by the month.

The building has a lounge, kitchen and fitness room which can be used by residents. There are also some parking spaces.

Downstairs in the same building is quite a pleasant little restaurant called The Village, which serves Thai food.

Walking to the centre of town takes about 15-20 minutes. This area has quite a lot of businesses, including lots of tutoring schools. It can be quite busy during the daytime, but it is quieter at night.

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:

And then, I moved to Be My Guest. This one is great location, too. Very close to Lee Garden Plaza. As many said, reception lady is rude. But We do not feel that. I can say she did not make a smile and did not look friendly. But, except that, she was Ok. She answered when we asked, she gave a right answer what you needed. In fact, Hotel business is not selling for room, they are selling service. In that point of view, I can say,.She is rude. But still Ok. 600 baht per day, good location and facility. We did not have much time to see. Most of people in there were friendly. I think lady who working in there has a serious some matter. So, that bothers her. Just think like this, You will be Ok. Be My Guest is newer than V.C. Bed is better. and Fridge inside. I prefer Be My Guest than V.C if they are in same price. (January 2013)
yes..as the comments i read over this website, i agreed that the staffs are rude. the room is really good. room is clean,nice, got balcony, air cond is cold. get more than what u have paid. just 600 baht...is far more better than Center Mansion (September 2012)
Great site and most helpful to us when visiting Hat Yai. The following is our experience with "Be My Guest" Hotel. (May 2012)
1. As pointed out by other guests, counter staff very rude. One lady working at the computer at the front desk was especially rude and should be sacked.
2. Made an email reservation for two nights May 22-23 2012. Quoted a price of THB 600 nett for a "Big Bed" room. Arrived at hotel and staf demanded THB 2000 as deposit plus passport. We stated we were prepared to pay for two nights in full (THB 1200) but declined to deposit passport. Hotel staff would not budge and we left in disgust along with our two young daughters.
3. We managed to take a look at the "Big Bed" room (King sized bed) prior to the hotel staff demands. Room was rather small but adequate for one or two nights. More or less clean room including bathroom but signs of wear and tear. In retrospect, other locations are better in terms of convenience factor.
4. Ended up staying at VL Hotel---walk-in for THB 900 nett for a twin bed room including free breakfast for four. Much nicer and much more conveninent to market, airport etc. (Songtheaw nearby to airport for THB 30).
5. Management-owners of "Be My Guest: should be informed about rude staff behaviour and lack of inter personal skills.
room very good, air cond cool but counter very rude, no manner, service poor. have to change good service staff. i like stay here but i unhappy the counter service,very very rude. have to improve the counter service,very rude to customer. counter very rude, no manner,no respect no helpful. b4 i come stay 2 time counter very rude. have to improve services. tune hotel very good service, very helpful, very friendly. 2 girl very rude. (March 2012)
stay 1 night 520 bath. location good. very clean, air cond cool. have to improved the counter service only but cleaning room staff very friendly better than counter. next trip when i come hatyai i will stay here. i like this apartment. hope to improved counter service. (March 2012)
be my guest room clean and cool but unhappy with 2 counter girl, this 2 girl very rude, no friendly. have to improved the service. i very like hatyai town. b4 i stay bp, diomond. grand plaza, indra, sakol, asian all good no like be my guest. (August 2011)
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.

Birth Mansion

Thai: เบิร์ธแมนชั่นหาดใหญ่

Address: 60 Duangchan Road, Hat Yai, Songkhla, 90110
Map: Map 3
Telephone: +66 (0)74 233931
Room Rate: Bt550

Latitude: N 07° 00' 24.7" (N 07° 00.412')

Longitude: E 100° 28' 16.6" (E 100° 28.277')

Google Maps: Street Map or Satellite View

Comments: This is a small guest house type place located just behind the Regency Hotel and its location means that you can walk to Lee Gardens Plaza - the very heart of Hat Yai's tourist district - in less than a minute.

The term 'mansion' is normally used in Thailand for apartment buildings that rent out rooms on a monthly basis. However, this particular 'mansion' doesn't have monthly rates, just the daily rate of Bt550. The English transliteration 'birth' isn't accurate because the English 'th' sound in any of its various guises doesn't exist in Thailand. 'Birt' would be more accurate. Thais mistakenly believe that whenever they write a 'p', 't' or 'k' in English that it must be followed by an 'h'.

I didn't look at the rooms, but it is a small place so I wouldn't expect the rooms to be very large. The room rate for this central location is cheap, so I wouldn't expect anything too fancy either.

The woman on reception wasn't as hostile as some hotel receptionists I have encountered in Hat Yai, but neither was she very helpful, not wanting to answer any of my questions and very suspicious as to why I was asking questions.

If you want to stay in the middle of town on a budget and you aren't overly concerned about room size or quality, this place could be an option for you.

Comments: The Bless Residence is located just in front of the Bangkok Hat Yai hospital, roughly equidistant from the hospital and Big C Extra. I'm not sure exactly when it was opened, but some time in 2014.

It offers long term accommodation as well as nightly stays. The rooms include a TV, air-conditioning, a fridge and a water heater in the shower. The building has free Wi-Fi and there is a small cafe. Each room has a small external area with a sink that can be used as a kitchen or laundry area. There are a small number of parking spaces and for security purposes there is CCTV and also a 24 hour security guard. There is also an in-house massage shop.

The location is quite a long way from the central tourist area around Lee Gardens, but many sawng-thaews pass along Phetkasem Road and for Bt10 you can get downtown fairly quickly. Alternatively, you can jump on a sawng-thaew heading the other way and go to the municipal park or Songkhla (if the sawng-thaew turns left at the Kor Hong intersection), or the bus station and Central Festival if it turns right.

Sawng-thaew fares are a standard Bt10 (more if you go to Songkhla or the airport). They travel on fixed routes and to use them it helps if you can read a little Thai. However, if you can't just ask the driver or another passenger.

There's not much of interest for tourists in this area, but you can walk to Big C or jump on a sawng-thaew and go to somewhere more interesting.

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:

Great hotel, location is good and no complains at all. I don't know about the walk in rate but rate from travel agent cost 1150THB and 1000THB deposite or they retain your passport which i don't allowed. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for hotel in Hatyai. (November 2012)
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)
staff well very friendly. room very clean, location at town just walk to lee garden plaza only 5 minute only.counter staff very helpful, services well. when i come hatyai again i will stay bp suite. i will give tip for counter staff. (January 2012)

Comments: Another hotel run by the BP Group located opposite its sister hotel, the BP Grand Suite. There are 204 deluxe rooms, 12 junior suites, 26 executive suites, four honeymoon suites and one presidential suite.

Along with conference rooms, the facilities include a cocktail lounge, karaoke restaurant, Chinese restaurant, snooker club, Thai massage and barber saloon, swimming pool and fitness centre.

When I checked several years ago, the published room rates were:

Single Deluxe Room Bt1,600
Double (Twin) Deluxe Room Bt1,600
Junior Suite Bt2,400
Executive Suite Bt2,400
Honeymoon Suite Bt4,500
Presidential Suite Bt15,000
Extra bed Bt300

I was immediately offered a discount without any prompting. The Bt1,600 rooms were available for Bt960 and the Bt2,400 rooms were available for Bt1,320. Rates are inclusive of service charge and government tax. Check out time is 12:00 noon.

There is no charge for children under 12 when sharing accommodation with adults, and baby cots are available on request free of charge.

When I checked again in November 2015, a deluxe room was Bt1,320 with breakfast and Bt1,200 without breakfast. An executive room was Bt1,560 with breakfast and Bt1,440 without breakfast.

Guest Comments:

Large hotel but it seem some rooms need serious renovation.We stayed on the 7th floor and we have to change room 3 times before we got one that is just ok. The other rooms smell real bad and the bath room ceiling leaks dirty water into the bath tub. For walk in the rate is 950THB but if you buy the voucher from the travel agent it cost only 750THB. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful but the hotel as mention earlier is too old and rundown as such would not recommend it to anyone. (October 2012)
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: Despite the current economic downturn and weak Ringgit, new hotels keep opening in Hat Yai. However, there seem to be no new mid-range hotels. The new places that open target either the budget or the high end of the market.

When I saw this place being built it looked like an apartment building, but it opened as a hotel. The monthly room rate in an apartment building like this would be about Bt5,000, but if the building is a hotel and rooms are rented by the night (and kept fully occupied) they can earn the owner over Bt20,000 per month.

Hotels are far more profitable than apartment buildings, but in an economic downturn there is the risk that rooms will remain empty.

For some reason twin bed rooms (Bt690) are more expensive than double rooms (Bt590) - in most hotels they are the same price.

There are 71 rooms and 50 car parking spaces. The rooms have the standard A/C, TV, fridge, warm water shower, free Wi-Fi, etc, that every hotel offers. There is 24 hour security and CCTV for your safety.

The location is a little distance away from the centre of town, but not too far.

Comments: With its grand opening being performed on 28th August 2012, this hotel is one of the newest hotels in Hat Yai. The hotel owners refer to it as a four star luxury boutique hotel and they have definitely gone for the higher end of the market.

It is very attractively decorated and comfortable, but correspondingly, the room rates are pretty high for Hat Yai. I can think of hotels in Hat Yai that are certainly a lot less plush, but they are comfortable and the room rate is only around Bt500. Take your choice. This is a great place if you aren't on a tight budget.

The receptionist told me that there were 90 rooms, but the hotel brochure says that there are 168.

There are four styles of room:

Superior - Bt1,800
Deluxe - Bt2,300
Junior Suite - Bt3,500
Honeymoon Suite - Bt4,500

These are walk-in rates. You will most likely be able to get a better deal if you book on-line.

Included with the room rate is breakfast for two people along with free water and tea/coffee making facilities in every room. An extra bed costs Bt600 and this charge also includes breakfast and drinking water for a third person. Breakfast is served from 7am until 10:30am and includes both Western and Asian favourites. You can choose from sausage, bacon and eggs or have a bowl of boiled rice.

There are smoking rooms on the third floor. Rooms on all other floors are non-smoking. The hotel has free Wi-Fi and a swimming pool on the second floor. The pool may be used by people not staying in the hotel by purchasing a monthly membership. This costs Bt1,200 for adults and Bt800 for children. The pool is open from 6am until 8pm.

All rooms have a minibar/fridge, personal safe, flat screen TV and DVD player. DVD players are not usually included in Hat Yai hotel rooms, so this is a nice addition. The junior suites have large Samsung Smart TVs, which have Internet access.

All bathrooms have both a shower enclosure and a bathtub, with the junior suites having a rainshower as well. The honeymoon suites have a fancy bathtub, presumably for two people to share. Slippers and bathrobes are provided in the junior suites and honeymoon suites. A hairdryer is provided in all bathrooms.

There is a restaurant that serves Thai and Chinese food. After breakfast finishes, it is open from 11am until 11pm. There is no Western food on the menu. You can also order room service from 7am until 10pm.

Surprisingly for a Hat Yai hotel there is no in-house massage shop. However, should you require a massage in your room they are very willing to order a girl from outside. The bellboy flashed a business card from Areewan massage shop, one of the places from which he orders girls for his guests. The girls at Areewan are very obliging and will normally be able to service all of your needs, whatever they may be.

The hotel is designed around an inner courtyard with a garden on the ground floor giving a light and airy feel to the place. There are no dark and dingy corridors to walk along as you go to your room. Outside there are 70 car parking spaces with security guards and CCTV making it quite safe. This could be a big consideration for Malaysians and Singaporeans who use their own cars to drive up to Hat Yai.

The location is a little way out of town, but with Hat Yai being such a small place it is easy enough to get anywhere. The hotel is located near the bus station and Diana department store. The night market is a very short walk away.

Should you wish to arrange a conference or maybe a wedding, there are professional meeting facilities available and a grand ballroom with Chinese style round tables that can seat up to 180 people.

Comments: The Cathay Guest House was a Hat Yai institution and had been around years. One day - I guess around 2020 - I noticed it had closed. It had actually moved to smaller premises nearby. A year or two after that, it ceased operation altogether.

The world has changed. When I was young it was a rite of passage to do a gap year between university and many young people would follow the Southeast Asian banana pancake trail. As backpackers crossed the border between Malaysia and Thailand, they would often stay a night at the Cathay in Hat Yai before travelling further onwards the next day. The staff at the Cathay would have information about their next destination and they could share stories with other backpackers.

Nowadays, youngsters don't seem interested in doing this sort of thing and I very rarely see any backpackers passing therough Hat Yai. The youngsters today don't realise the fun they are missing out on.

Anyway, I guess there wasn't enough business and the owners of Cathay decided to call it a day.

Comments: Formerly known as the Novotel Central Sukhontha, this is one of the top hotels in Hat Yai. The hotel is very centrally located and the rooms are well above the noise from the streets below. The staff are all immaculately dressed in traditional Thai costume and they are very polite. There is a lounge area in the lobby that has a band in the evening and the hotel restaurants are very good.

A big saving can be made on the walk-in rate by booking through a local travel agent. Konsortium travel agency just over the road can offer a rate of Bt1,300. The rooms aren't huge at the Novotel, but they are comfortable.

On the 7th floor you will find a pool, fitness centre, and the Cenvaree Spa. The pool and fitness centre are free for guests staying at the hotel.

Guest Comments:

Excellent Hotel and Location.. Good staff. I always have stayed at the Novatel until recently whilst in an executive suite, I went for a swim and upon returning to my room found I had been locked out. I walked into the reception with a towel around me and was made wait for almost 10 minutes to discover the reason I was locked out of my room was becasue the cleaner could not find the TV remote, and the hotel wanted me to pay for a new one. After paying 6000bht per night for 5 nights I asked them to do up my account, had them unlock my door, found the remote down the back of the lounge, checked out and put this hotel on my "Expect Better Treatment List".. Not happy after spending 100,000 bht there over the last year or 2 to be locked out of an executive aprtment because of a 50 bht remote control. Won't be back. (2mth / Several Weekly Stays)

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:

Friendly, helpful, thoughtful staffs plus reasonable price even during peak season, clean environment and perfect location. 100m walking distance to Lee Garden and 7/11 just down stair, plus it's also provide Free wifi. Highly recommend guest in Hatyai. (August 2013)
the location is great. is a stone throw from Lee Garden. but not very clean..the bed sheet with yellow stain that makes me feel gross...the toilet is clean but the water pressure of the shower is very very very bad...i move to "be my guest" after 1 night staying over here...be my guest is far more better...just 450 baht per night during weekdays in center mansion....u get what u pay... (September 2012)
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)
