BM Pattani Apartment — New Building, Big Rooms, Next to the University at a Budget Price
If you want a Pattani stay that is clean, new, and easy on the wallet, the name guests keep mentioning is BM Pattani Apartment. It's an apartment block that opened in 2022 in the Rusamilae area, sitting on Charoen Pradit Road — the same road as Prince of Songkla University's Pattani Campus. What people come back to repeat is simple: rooms that feel bigger than the price suggests, a terrace on nearly every room, free covered parking out front, and a location right by the university that somehow stays genuinely quiet after dark.
BM Pattani Apartment opened in 2022, so it still feels new — walls, floors and furniture are in good shape, with none of the musty smell older buildings carry. It's a multi-storey block with a lift and around 30 rooms, split between Superior Single rooms with a terrace (queen bed), Studio rooms with a terrace (double bed), and Family Rooms for groups. Most rooms run a clean pale-grey palette with a work desk, fridge, and a tea-and-coffee set inside — guests on short work or errand trips say it covers the basics well.
Location is where it scores highest (9.5 on Trip.com). The building sits in Rusamilae on Charoen Pradit Road, an easy walk to Prince of Songkla University's Pattani Campus. The surrounding streets are student territory — cafes, rice shops and drink stalls line the road, so finding something to eat is easy day or night. Pattani's City Pillar Shrine and Fatoni Stadium are both under half a kilometre away, and the town centre and Pattani Central Mosque are only a few minutes by car.
A lot of guests are surprised that it sits next to a university yet stays quiet at night. One review puts it plainly: "very near the university but so quiet at night, everything new here" — which makes it a fit for people who want to sleep well rather than party. The free covered parking out front is a real advantage for anyone driving, since plenty of stays in central Pattani have no parking at all.
"Very tidy and near to major locations. Highly recommended for families with kids." — verified guest review on Trip.com
Worth flagging honestly — Wi-Fi is the weaker score. Some reviews note the signal is limited, with a couple of rooms capped to one device at a time, so if you're working online across several devices at once, bring a mobile data backup. The other recurring complaint is housekeeping that isn't always consistent: a few stays mention hairs on the floor or a bedspread that may not have been changed. If that happens, raise it at the front desk — reviewers describe the staff as quick to respond.
The overall score is 9.0/10 from 47 Trip.com reviews (Booking has it at 8.7). The strong categories are location (9.5) and cleanliness (9.0), with service at 8.8. For a budget stay in a city where hotel options aren't plentiful, that sits comfortably above the local average. There's no pool, no gym, and no on-site restaurant — but at this price and this location, most guests still call it good value.
The bottom line: BM Pattani Apartment works best for people on business, work trips, university visits, or a one- or two-night stop in Pattani who want a new, clean room with parking on a budget. It isn't a resort or a leisure base — no pool, no gym — but on value per baht it's one of the safest picks in the city. If you want the most space, book the Studio with terrace over the Superior Single.
