Hatyai Backpackers Hostel Reviews

Hatyai Backpackers Hostel is a nice place next to the Hatyai train station. It is probably the most convenient for backpackers going from Malaysia to Thailand or vice versa. Hatyai is one of the biggest cities in Thailand, but there is nothing much to see.

The Location

Hatyai is a big commerce hub for Thai and Malay people. You can find cheap electronics and clothes here. There is also a big gem market here. The hostel is fifteen minutes' walk from the train station. Tuk tuks can take you there, but it is better to save yourself the haggling. There are several convenience stores, but you have to go a little bit further from the hostel. There are several restaurants around this area, but if you want a cheap meal, you should go to the local market. Hatyai can be very cheap if you have some know-how. Ask the staff for the directions, they are very friendly. If you have a motorbike, you can park it in front of the hostel; with a car, you will have to park next to Watson's shopping mall five minutes' walk away.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Rooms are clean; there are no bedbugs and no mosquitoes. You cannot lock the room and they recommend leaving all your valuables in the lockers on the ground floor. There are two dormitory rooms -- one for six people, another one for four people. Beds are comfortable, with thick blankets are provided. Rooms can be a little bit noisier, because they face the street. The internet works very nicely, and coverage is ok. There are no individual sockets, but there is row of five shared sockets. It is better to have your extender.

The bathroom is outside of the room and is quite small. In total, there are two showers and two toilets, which might be a problem in the evening and in the morning when it is more needed. Toilet paper is provided, hot water is also. You have to have your own towel, there is no soap or shampoo.

Common Spaces

There is one small common room next to the reception desk. You can eat your food here, and you can also store your food and drinks in the fridge. There is a breakfast included, but you have to prepare it by yourself from the provided ingredients. There is a free water, coffee, and tea. There is a small sofa and a table. This place is usually quiet, with no parties. There is no terrace or rooftop, no restaurant, and no bar. Smoking is not allowed inside of the house. This place is mainly for solo travelers and groups -- not so much for families and couples because of the lack of privacy.

Summary

This is a nice place, mostly for backpackers going either from Malaysia to Thailand or vice versa. The price is reasonable and the staff are very helpful.
