A beautiful week in Songkhla Old Town.
Pros:

Everything was beyond our expectation! The vibes, location, food, room,.. All were perfect. Totally recommended. They even have a nice buggy for us to visit places around the hotel. THB300 for 1 hour trip or just THB50 for pick up or drop off. Very convenient. Nice little antique hotel. Not crowded at all.

Cons:

NONE

Delightfully quirky!
Pros:

Songkhla is a well-kept secret in the south of Thailand. The old Town is gradually being restored thoughtfully and tastefully. This hotel is a MUST, beautifully decorated and furnished and impeccably clean, like the town.
There is no kitchen, but breakfast, lunch and dinner, ordered from local establishments, can be delivered and served in the lounge/bar area. Perfect.
I asked one of the boys for a guided Tuk-tuk tour of the old quarter/beach area which lasted a couple of hours. Cool!!
I chose a room with an amazing
Chinese four-poster bed. One downside (for some) of this room is no natural light/ view, but most of the time I spent in my room, my eyes we're closed....
The owner and his wife are perfectly charming, as are all the staff, and have other beautifully restored properties nearby to visit - gallery/art shop etc.
Don't even think about relationship quality/price.

Cons:

I tried to visit all the amazing Coffee Shops (REAL coffee...) but there are so many that I failed...
