Hat Yai Youth Hostel

There’s plenty of room to hang out, and coffee and tea are free in the common area. Breakfast is included too. The place is very clean, with new facilities, and bunks start at 280B. There’s a large rooftop for drying clothes, and laundry costs 100B. The manager speaks good English and often watches movies or local TV, which you can join in on. A good place to stay in hat yai.

The owner made our short trip with friends feel welcoming, and that friendly service is why I’m giving five stars. She even gave us maps and directions to tourist attractions. Since the room might not get a steady WiFi signal, she also provided another password in case we couldn’t connect. Our room was tidy and clean, and there are two shared bathrooms. A good option in hatyai.

A clean, Muslim-friendly place that works well for backpackers travelling on a low budget. The railway junction in Hatyai is only a five-minute walk away. They offer trip packages for Songkla and Hatyai, and transport by van, motorbike or bicycle. Rooms are air-conditioned and sleep 4-6 people. There’s a light breakfast and free snacks too.

The staff member was really kind and helpful. She offered me a free ride to temples while she was taking someone to the airport. The room was quite clean and had good facilities, and it’s a very good place to stay.
