Ban Suan Chomdao Resort
The room was spacious and the staff were very friendly. The only downside is that the resort is a bit far from Hadyai town center, but it's perfect if you're looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The location is quiet and relaxing, and while it’s not in the heart of the city, it’s still manageable with a short drive or taxi ride. Overall, a great value for a calm, comfortable stay.

Stayed at Ingfah Apartment multiple times now, and each visit has been outstanding. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the city center and shopping areas, with plenty of local eateries nearby. The apartment itself is spotless, well-furnished, and fully equipped for cooking, which was perfect for our family trip. The staff are friendly and always ready to assist whenever needed, making the whole experience stress-free. Cleanliness, comfort, and great value—all in one.

My stay at Bright Apartment Hat Yai was absolutely fantastic. The location is super convenient—just a short 10-minute walk to the ASEAN Night Bazaar and Lee Garden Plaza, making it easy to explore local markets and dining spots without needing transport. The apartment itself was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Great value for money, especially for a group trip. I’d definitely book again if I ever return to Hat Yai. Highly recommend this place!
TR Rock Hill Hotel
I gave this hotel a 5-star rating because the rooms are incredibly comfortable and well-maintained. However, I’d recommend choosing a higher floor if you're sensitive to noise—there's a bar on the ground level that gets quite lively in the evenings, and the music can be heard in lower-floor rooms. Despite that small drawback, the overall experience was excellent. The hotel is well-located, easy to access, and offers great value for money. Clean, quiet (once you’re up high), and staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely a place I'd stay again when visiting Songkhla.
Sritrang Place
The room was spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. I loved how convenient it was to get to the city center by metro. The only minor issue was that the bathroom door didn’t lock properly, but overall, this place offered excellent value for money. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a comfortable and well-located stay in Hat Yai.
