Hillside Premium Hotel sits in the Muang district of Surat Thani, the provincial capital, on the Tapi River that runs through the town. This is a working town of markets, temples and parks rather than a beach resort, so the hotel works well for travellers who want a base on the mainland before heading to the islands or inland to the national parks. Everyday town life, with its shops and markets, sets the pace around the hotel.

Central Plaza, a shopping centre 1.3 km away, is one of the larger landmarks nearby, while the Surat Thani Night Market, 4 km away, fills with food stalls in the evening. Wat Phothawat, a Buddhist temple nearby, and the Surat Thani City Pillar Shrine, a local place of worship, are other sights in the area. Surat Thani Railway Station is 6.9 km away and Surat Thani Airport is 16.9 km away, so trips by train or plane end with a journey into town.

A good day can start at the Tapee River Viewpoint, overlooking the Tapi River, and continue with a visit to Wat Somwang, a Buddhist temple in the Surat Thani area. In the evening, the night market is the place to eat, and longer excursions to the national parks in the province make a good second day.
