The hotel is old, the buttons in the elevator are falling out, the rooms are aged and worn out. The bathrooms are a bit scary, toilets barely flush, tub is well stained. That being said, the tv works, the airconditioning works, the room was fairly clean. Mini bar was not fully stocked after the last guest, but a quick word with front desk took care of that.

Upon checking in, room was not ready, we were told the lobby has free wifi, and so we waited there. When the room was ready, one of the staff alerted us, and off we went. (out bags were transported to the room ahead of time)

The mattress seems to have a foam top, or something like that, and yes it is super soft. The bed sheet was a bit small, and left the bottom third of the mattress uncovered.

There were a bunch of small issues, but most memorable was the check out, and the staff inquiring about our next destination, and taking care to ask if we knew how to get there, and wishing us a great trip. I give it a very good based on the staff, however would call it average at best based on the room itself.

One would think if you managed a hospitality property that accepted guest from all ove the world, you would surely hire someone who spoke even a little of the English language. Not so at the Siam Central Hotel, Hatyai, Thailand. I think this is the largest problem with this hotel, no one can understand your wants, needs or desires.Reasonably priced and centrally located in this large city, but not a lot to see and do except eat and shop.

The one thing I will remember about this place is that it had the softest mattress I've ever laid on. The thing practically swallows you. Judging by the room furniture, you can tell this place has been around since at least the early 80s and hasn't been renovated. The curved windows were pretty cool. Quite a few hotels in Hat Yai offer tons of English news channels but the only English channel was Fox Crime. Bathroom was awful. No free Internet which unfortunately is typical of hotels this size all over the world. Located very close to the train station and Lee Gardens. The good outweighs the bad here and overall I'd recommend it to most people if they get a good deal.
