Hotels near Wat Ma Pring in Surat Thani

Good room and good location. I can get on a bus from Surat Thani railway station, and arrive at B2 hotel nearing a bus stop.

We just stayed here a night to move from the airport to Khao Sok National Park. It worked out fine. Clean and friendly staff. The location wasn’t great. Limited food options near by and most things are across the street which is a busy road and no cross walk near by.

Come relax here. You'll get a bit of a headache when checking in. After that, you don't have to think too much. Eat and travel with peace of mind. Seafood is good. It's just that the taste of most food tends to be sweet. You have to choose the menu carefully.

One soon gets the feeling that management policy is cutting corners. From the lack of product in the bathroom, thin towels, extra thin toilet paper, thin tissues on the breakfast table etc. Having said all that, this rather large hotel is well designed with a beautiful foyer reception area. Pool is rather ordinary though. Our room is large with a sofa and a small balcony. Riverview is minimal from our balcony. The most interesting thing for us about the river is a house built in the river and takes up most of the river in front of the hotel... quite bazar. See photo

We stayed here a couple of nights. Check-in was quick and easy, the room clean, and the bed comfortable. We had the included breakfast the first morning and it was fine, the lady working in there kept everything in order and was cleaning up as needed. There is one thing however, it's not really a negative and it didn't effect my final score but there isn't much to see in the general area and it can be difficult finding transportation if you are out walking.

Nice place, very comfortable, far from the city and in a very big intense road, so for tourists you're completely dependant on taxi (even the 7 eleven is not far but you have to do a traffic loud road to get there). Although there's always Grab to let the stuff you need come to you. A lot of tiny tiny ants looking for our food in the room, but not a big deal. The photos are made days after the check-in so a bit messy

Hubby and I stopped in Surathani in transit to our next destination. 2 nights which was enough for us to rest after a day travelling and to check out this famous transit point on our way yo Railay. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel was a street back off the the Ta Pi River Esplanade and a short walk from our bus drop off (Phan theep Transfers) arriving from Koh Tao (we purchased a ferry and minivan combo ticket. Excellent option. We try to opt for easy and not expensive, easy first preference). Hotel is on a corner and has artificial grass in front of hotel entrance. You can't miss it. Hotel is well presented, clean, staff friendly, good sized room and hot water. The bed was a little hard, lets say a coin will probably bounce off it easily, but to our surprise, even though the mattress and pillows were firm, we didn't wake up with a sore back, so pretty much ok. We were on the 4th floor and hardly any noise from traffic below even with all the traffic noise. It was a Thai public holiday as they were celebrating the anniversary of the late kings death( 13th October). Colourful and ornated floats along the Esplanade and down the main street of the hotel. The floats were spectacular with monks showering everyone with water blessings. Heaps of food stalls. The air-conditioning was a pain, as with many in Resorts and hotels. For some reason, they dont work according to the temp setting and fan speed. Turned up to 27 degrees on lowest fan setting and it was still cold in the room. If you turned it off, it too hot. We slept with heads at foot of bed so the cold air didn't hit our face. What do you do, its sane same mostly everywhere. Unfortunately no kettle and tea/coffee facility in room. They do have this available in lobby from 5 to 10am only for free. There are coffee shops outside hotel though especially Mary's Cafe. Another disappointment for us, cause we are veggos and western, they don't provide breakfast and we couldn't find Western food that suited us non meat and Asian palette. Plenty of Thai food but we didnt like that for breaky. We walked over to the otherside of the river to their sister hotel CBD Hotel 2, as they served breaky so we purchased a buffet style for 150 baht each. You can opt to stay here also if you wish. Its right on the river and about 15 minute walk. Wasnt an issue walking there because on the way stopped of at the City Shrine and walked around Koh Lamphu Park ( a health park and well worth a visit. Its an island accessible by bridge. Views of the River also. We are early birds so plenty of time before breaky). Fruit for lunch was enough but there is a little Thai Vegan restaurant (another lucky find. Turn left exiting the hotel and down that road opposite the fire station). But only open to about 1pm we think. There is another hotel that includes breakfast near the River on and sane side as CBD hotel called Harbour Front but no idea what the rooms are like or reviews. We chose CBD due to the reviews

Considered a hotel that has an affordable price in Surat Thani province Located in Makham Tia Subdistrict. Near government offices, Central Hospital, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the beds are very large, can sleep 3 people comfortably. Bathroom amenities are normal, shampoo, soap, bathroom separates dry and wet zones well. There is a service zone, bread, coffee, Ovaltine all the time, self service, care, reception OK, smiling and cheerful, there is free WIFI (strong), there is a parking lot. extensive all the way in front and behind the hotel

It is about a 7-minute walk from the city pillar shrine, the best tourist attraction in Slatany, and the Donnok Bridge, which is lit up at night. There are also 7/11 and restaurants nearby. The room was clean and the size was ok. The refrigerator and dryer were complete, and there was no problem with air conditioning and shower. There were no insects including mosquitoes. We also received English at the reception. Overall, it was the impression that the Japanese did not feel inconvenient and uncomfortable. There is also a service that makes a taxi reservation at a fixed price, for example, to Slatany Airport, it was 400 baht and almost the same as the amount displayed on Grab. I paid directly to the driver. The price was about 850 baht per room. I think it is one of the cheap and reassuring hotels.

I'm sure at one time this was a four-star hotel. The decor is lovely, the rooms are neat and clean, the beds are very good but the amenities are lacking. the rooms provide a pot to make hot water and coffee cups to go with it but no coffee or tea is available. The only soap for a shower were the small standard bars of soap no body wash or gel as is customary here. There was shampoo however. As we walked about last night we noticed that there was a large restaurant and entertainment venue along the river but it looked like it had been closed for many months. Breakfast this morning was the worst that I have had in Thailand. We had to select from a menu when we came in yesterday and I expected to go down to a restaurant and eat but it was delivered this morning to our door and all of the food was cold, especially the eggs which I abhor. I don't remember the price difference between a room with or without breakfast or even if there was a price difference but this was a poor attempt at any kind of breakfast. I am very disappointed. Lastly, I will say that the views are very nice and we are on the highest floor, the sixth floor period with a view of the river and downtown Surat Thani.
