Padang Besar, Thailand: Places to Stay

*Extracted from the Padang Besar post*

 

As for places to stay here, I recommend one of two hotels. 

They are both a little run down, but still operational, are Hotel Satit, and Royal Inn. 

My first choice is Hotel Satit as the rooms have heated water and air cond. 

I preferred the rooms in Royal Inn but encountered more problems with the bathrooms. Anyhow for the price of 380 baht or 350 baht, they’re both quite a steal. 

Hotel Satit

TV: A FEW CHANNELS

air cond: YES

fridge: YES (a bit run down)

wifi: NO

There is also the Berlin hotel 

but I do not recommend as it is located right next to the disco

and seems to have a noise problem 

which I have yet to experience at Satit even though it is also next door.

Recently tried out another place in Padang...

J. J. Hotel... found just down the road from the two hotels...

biggest pro for this hotel is that it is clean, and has wifi

though it is a little weak at certain places in the hotel...

 air cond room goes for 350 baht

and a fan room goes for 250 baht

 a big con for the hotel is that it has no fridge, and lack of power plugs

but those are quite easily overlooked cons

J. J. Hotel

TV: A FEW CHANNELS (so-so reception)

air cond: YES

fridge: NO

wifi: OK

  

 For the picky travelers, 

I guess that the Padang Central Hotel may be more suited to your taste. 

It was certainly not to mine, and I didn’t find it worth the extra 200 baht or so. 

*Padang Central Hotel is no longer operational* (updated 9th June 2013)

though I am told that there is a new resort opened in Padang
