RetireesThis Hop Inn Surat Thani is same as other except it comes with a simple breakfast. It is a bit out of town but I am driving no problem. Excellent staff and clean room. Ample parking lots available

Location is nice, right in town with 7/11 n Watson within walking distance. But room not very clean. Bed a bit hard but unfortunately, gave only 1 pillow. We had to pay an extra 40 bahts for an extra pillow while most hotels would gladly give U for free

The hotel is comfortable, close to Central Surat Thani, and traffic is light. The rooms are relatively new and clean, and the staff provides good service.

Facilities: Microwave, coffee machine, plates and bowls are available in the room.
Hygiene: Very clean. Two toilets, one with shower. The swimming pool is very clean.
Environment: Built on the mountain, so there is no garden-like feeling, all villas. A bit remote, suitable for self-driving.
Service: The beautiful lady who checked in was very warm and polite.
If you have a car, I highly recommend this hotel. The only drawback is that the shower head in the bathroom is too small, I hope it will be improved.

Happy kiwiA great new hotel (been open 3 months apparently). For the price we paid, it was great value for money. Super clean. Access to a good fully equipped gym a 2 min walk away. A nice pool. Even had free bananas and biscuits in the lobby.
Has a few quirky things but they don’t impact anything. Friendly service. I would stay there again if I come to Surat Thani.
A 25 min walk or a 4 minute drive to the night markets (20 baht each in a pick up truck or ~70 baht grab taxi)

BrugginkCommunication 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.

When you arrive, you get greeted by your name that is written on a board. I liked it. Room was relatively clean and had airconditioning. The hotel is located nearby the bus station, so you walk from the bus towards this hotel in 8 minutes. The hotel is also nearby the night food market and a few bars and restaurants. A good hotel for the price.

Guest UserVery average hotel for the price. Rooms were big.
Air conditioning could not be switched off (can change temp) in room... had to be done by hotel.
I got many mosquito bites in breakfast/lobby area. The breakfast is brought in and heated up, which means no requests.

laosnewhorizonA 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.
