Red Planet Hotel Hat Yai

The hotel I stayed during my short excursion to Hat Yai is Red Planet Hotel which is located at the center of town. It is also 10 minutes walking distance from Lee Garden Plaza. The bus stopped us in front of KBES bus office which is just in front of Lee Garden Plaza. I was clueless where the Red Planet located at first but with help of the local, it was much easier when they gave you the direction based on the map. Hat Yai map can be obtained at any travel agent counter or hotel at the street.

 

It was not the time for check-in yet. So we put the luggage at the luggage room (just next to the counter) and kept the important belongings in our bags that we brought around. We came back at 2pm+ for check-in, and my friend left me as he booked another hotel 30 minutes away. That's his choice as he chose to stay at a cheaper room which also bit far away from the centre of the town. 

For the check-in on 1 Jan, it was quite a long waiting time. Some of the rooms were not ready yet. The lady at the counter kept talking with a walkie-talkie in Thai with another staff at another site to confirm the room status.

 

 

Finally, I managed to get my room. It was RM200+ per twin bedroom for 2 nights. I was satisfied with the cleanliness of the hotel but I was not felt great with the toilet as its badly smell like someone just poo before he left 5 minutes ago :(

 

The shampoo and body cleanser are at the red dispenser. The towel is provided. Although it looks like Tune Hotel, as far as I remember Tune Hotel does not provide towel, toiletries and WIFI. Towel, toiletries, WIFI and air-conditioner need extra charges or room with a higher rate.

The room is spacious. Hairdryer, writing table and TV are available. But they don't have a fridge, coffee packs, cups, water heater and drinking water.

 

 

6 litres of drinking water I bought on second nights :S

 

The hotel room looks great and new. I did not being disturbed by anything throughout my stay as I slept alone.  I would consider coming back again next time :D
