Hotels Near Robinson Department Store Suratthani in Surat Thani

anyone who has stayed at a Hop Inn knows the story; the rooms are small, clean, modern, and well maintained, selling value as a main draw. they've added a breakfast to this one, the first one set up that way, according to my son (not such a great reference, but we've stayed in others and never saw that). the breakfast is pretty basic, coffee (which they already had), an instant version of orange juice, toast, fried eggs, and basic congee, but it works as a light bite to eat to start the day. oddly the cost didn't increase for adding that; it's still in the 650 baht range, quite inexpensive. they should probably add a bit of depth to the breakfast and include it as an option, adding a fee, since otherwise it's coming straight out of their profit, but it's a good enough set of aspects acting as a draw that maybe it keeps them more full. location is fine related to nearby shopping but I would imagine it's more for travelers passing through, or people actually staying in Surat. there's a go-kart place right beside it that was pretty cool, with really advanced karts at minimal cost. if you travel through with kids you should check if timing works out to do some laps there.

Although there’s nothing to do in Surat Thani this hotel is perfectly fine for a stop over. Clean and tidy but couldn’t get any hot water in the shower and the beds were like concrete. But totally except able for a couple of nights.

Perfect for short time stay. Considering the price, rooms are good. Hotel staff were helpful. Location is very good. (View from the hotel is in the photo) If you’re going to koh samui, the Seatran (the ferry company) Office is within 500m, so this would be the best place to stay overnight and catch the bus/ferry for Koh samui from here.

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.

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

Very good location Worth for money in such a good location with Wi-Fi /A/C, and hot shower ! And they have parking for free Helpful staff as well So over all we had a good stay !

Nice, basic hotel. No gym/pool, But a very large parking. 10 min ride to the center. Was written there is a bathtub in the room - but we got only a normal shower, so if its important to someone - notice it We have 3 kids, Reserved triple room, merged the beds - and the kids sleet with us. Was perfect.

Clean and cozy hotel with strategic location. We travelled from DMK airport (Bangkok) to URT airport (Surat Thani), and stayed overnight at the hotel before departing from Donsak Pier (Surat Thani) to Nathon Pier (Koh Samui). The hotel is really located in the middle of our travel route, and thus together with clean room and standard amenities we called it PERFECT!

Friendly and helpful staffs, a quiet and splendid resort in beauty and scenic nature, there are rooms for the disabled, delicious simple breakfast, far from city center, about 2KM from train station and 17KM from airport

We took the ferry then bus back from Samui, our flight was early the next day. We booked into the hotel as it is close to the airport, only ab10 minute car journey. It'd absolutely perfect for a over night stay. I think its fair to say, no one will come and stay at the hotel for longer than a night or two, there is nothing nearby. The cafe is excellent, prices are reasonable and the swimming pool is a good added extra. The rooms are fine, comfy bed, good shower and clean. Would certainly recommend this place, especially for the price. We got a taxi to the airport from the hotel which cost us 200 baht.
