The Roo Classic Hometel
Old-town family rooms a minute from the museums
About this hotel
The Roo Classic Hometel sits right inside Songkhla's museum cluster, a few steps from Hub Ho Hin Red Rice Mill, a minute's walk from Baan Nakhon Nai Museum and six minutes from Songkhla National Museum, making it one of the most walkable family bases in the old town. Family rooms come with air-conditioning, private bathrooms, free WiFi, a balcony, terrace and parquet floors, a step up in finish from some of the plainer aparthotels nearby. The traditional restaurant serves Asian cuisine, and there's a bar and a garden and terrace area for guests who want to unwind without leaving the property. At 42 kilometres from Hat Yai International Airport, it sits in the same transfer range as most of Songkhla's hotel stock.

Our take
This works well for families who want to be inside the old town's museum walk rather than near the beach, since the location trades sand access for a genuinely central position among Songkhla's Sino-Portuguese landmarks. The parquet floors and balcony give rooms a slightly more considered feel than a purely functional family hotel, though there's no pool or spa here, so plan on the museums and restaurant rather than water for entertainment.
- Visit Hub Ho Hin Red Rice Mill first thing in the morning, since it's genuinely a few steps from the door.
- Try the traditional restaurant's Asian menu at least once before heading out to explore for other meals.
- Book a balcony room specifically if you want to catch the old town's evening quiet from your own space.
Why we love it

Why guests love itI would choose The Roo Classic Hometel for an old-town Songkhla stay with a family. It is a four-star hometel with balcony family rooms, a traditional restaurant and bar, and a garden and terrace, a few steps from Hub Ho Hin Red Rice Mill and Baan Nakhon Nai Museum. I would visit the mill first thing in the morning, try the traditional restaurant’s Asian menu at least once, and ask for a balcony room to enjoy the old town’s evening calm.
