Hotels & Accommodation near Old Town Songkhla Gate

The staff was very kind and professional. There was so much that stood out as excellent. check in was fast. I was surprised at a few simple points for all the big amazing presentation. Smart eco choice for halls with no air con. No hand soap in bathroom, was told had to “ask” for it. I would assume cleanliness after using facilities would be essential. Asked for staff to assist with air con 4 times, we were only there overnight but no one ever came. Bed was very comfy. Pillows perfect, 2 per person. I’m a medium size woman “8” and the robes were both too small for me, but nice touch (again considering no hand soap but useless robes). Loved the sliding bathroom door. Large mirrors. View was gorgeous overlooking water (river/lagoon?). The food at Riva was beautiful, not very tasty, I mean naturally. Only had dinner there. Tried several dishes. Stir fried rice was bland. Not much natural flavor of the food. Somewhat bland on flavor, muscles were tough. Shrimp rolls were different, only ground shrimp, no vegetables in the mix, but nice light crispy roll. One (1) scallop in a scallop dish, the pappardelle sauce was amazing though. Tried the pizza, it was interesting, nice crispy crust but cold when brought out, cheese is not tasty cold. Breakfast was great. Lots of tasty freshly prepared options. The pool was super refreshing. The workout room was more than adequate and beautiful view. Overall we would stay again for sure. Probably just eat somewhere else.

The hotel is situated just a short walk down the road from an amazing night market for food, and another ten minutes walk and you can be at the seafront with a very long beach and beautiful sunset views. You're within 20 minutes or so walking to the gate for the old town, and Songkhla lake. The hotel is in a bustling area but is very clean and calm. A real highlight of the hotel is the staff. They are all very kind and always greet you warmly when you come back from exploring. The breakfast is mostly Asian style with a choice of freshly cooked eggs too. It starts at 6am which is great if you need to make an early start. It is good value for money at 150baht per person. When I was there, it was also a pork-free breakfast selection which is great. I thoroughly recommend this lovely hotel in a lovely and unique town. The best of Songkhla is within easy reach, and you will feel incredibly welcome.

The property is located in amazing location. The room needed an upgrade, we dont feel fresh when we walk in probably because ac or fan was not on. The towels and linen sets would needed some TLC.
