3-Star Hotels in Surat Thani

Good option for a transit stop on trips. A 100-meter bus terminal from where you can leave to Bangkok, Samui or Phuket. The hotel is very clean, there is wi-fi, modest breakfasts: fruit, coffee, rice, egg, some local dishes. The second time they stopped. Staff is kind. In a half-kilometer, a huge shopping mall with a lot of choice. 

This is my go-to place to stay, great value for money and close to Central Plaza. It's super affordable! Whenever I'm in Surat Thani, I always stay here. It's also not far to drive to Nakhon Si Thammarat. At this price, it's definitely a good deal, highly recommend! The staff are also incredibly helpful and provide excellent service.

The room and bathroom were clean. Excellent value for money. The location is convenient, making it easy to go out for meals or run errands in the city.

very good premises, clean and spacious. Wonderful staff. A few spoke English and they were sharp. The shower water temperature could be warmer. Good AC. Good/fair wifi/internet. Gym is spacious, has AC, good lighting, 7am to 9 pm everyday. Has a rack of dumbells max is 12 km. Only one weight machine that needs to be repaired. Two treadmills in good condition, 1 out of order. 2 or 3 stationary bikes. Restaurant serve only buffet breakfast. No lunch or dinner. Room service only from 7am to 2 pm. Small refrigerator. No microwave Owen. No coffee supplied. Highest floor is 4th recommended, quieter, no children running amok above you. No laundry currently available but there is a good automatic laundromat 24/7 available 100 meters from the hotel that makes change and has table to fold dry clothes. All in all a good experience.

Another excellent stay at Orchid Residence. Consistently clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff who make the experience enjoyable. The location continues to be ideal for catching ferries and buses to nearby destinations. Appreciated the smooth check-in process and helpful local recommendations. The hotel maintains high standards and offers reliable service for travelers. Definitely a go-to place when in Surat Thani area.

Communication was a bit challenging. I'd messaged them via the travel site and emailed the correct address, but it seems calling is the most reliable way to reach them. I wanted to arrange a pickup, as Bolt/Grab services in Surat Thani don't accommodate 5 people; they only cater for 4, and we also had quite a bit of luggage. The van was supposed to meet us at Surat Thani station, but our bus dropped us off in the city center instead. This led to a dramatic 45-minute wait, during which we made several calls and sent emails. It was incredibly frustrating because our emails weren't getting through, and the staff member's English wasn't good enough to fully understand my concerns. Eventually, we were picked up, but by then, after a 6-hour journey, we were completely worn out. Upon arrival, check-in was quick. Unfortunately, the rooms don't have balconies, but they are clean. The bed was too soft; if one person turned over, the other could feel it. However, there was a TV, so we could connect our Chromecast to watch Netflix. The pool was beautiful, and there was a designated smoking area outside. Two pillows are provided per bed, so there's no need to ask for extras. The only downside is that pool towels aren't provided, so you have to use your bath towel for the pool and then dry yourself with it again after showering. I find this unhygienic; I asked for a second set of towels, but I think this should be a standard offering. They diligently refill water bottles daily, and housekeeping is excellent – you don't even need to ask, they simply do a great job. The hotel has a fridge stocked with drinks and beer for purchase, which allowed us to comfortably sit outside. Someone is always at the reception until late, which is reassuring. It was very quiet, so we had the pool all to ourselves the next day too. We found the mall, and the receptionist kindly helped us locate a supermarket less than a 5-minute walk away. She also arranged a taxi for us to the pier for the following day. For our two-night stay, it was perfect. We only had breakfast one morning, and it was less than we expected and not really worth the price. All in all, this was an excellent hotel for us to unwind before catching our boat. The staff truly goes out of their way to help you wherever they can.

Staff are wonderfully and the location Near to the river , I will be back

A Fading Gem with a Fantastic Breakfast The Wang Tai Hotel feels like a grand dame from a bygone era. Walking into the lobby, you can see it was once a truly luxurious place, and that sense of scale and history is still there. However, it's clear the hotel is in need of a bit of a makeover. While everything is clean, the decor and some furnishings feel a little tired and dated. That minor point aside, our stay was very pleasant. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, always going out of their way to assist us. The breakfast, however, was a wonderful and unexpected highlight! Instead of a standard buffet, it's ordered a la carte from a menu. Don't let that worry you the range is huge, covering both Thai and Western options. Everything we ordered was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. It felt more like a restaurant experience than a hotel breakfast. The large swimming pool is a major plus – perfect for a refreshing dip and lounging in the sun. The location is also very good, making it a convenient base for exploring Surat Thani. In summary, if you can look past the slightly worn edges, The Wang Tai Hotel offers incredible value, spearheaded by a stellar breakfast, great pool, and excellent service. A little refurbishment would easily make this a 5-star experience again.

Good location if you need to get to the pier! Nothing else going on around the hotel. Clean and comfortable

Clean, comfortable, and with a high-class service, you should definitely book a stay here.
