The hotel lacks investment Filfthy stairs Hard & lumpy bed Pool ok with a few sun-beds Local area not very special with lots of “massage parlours”!, Two beaches, one with sun-beds and very sharp sand, the other has nice sand and no sun-beds ( except private ) Could not recommend this hotel, would not return!

we spend 5 nights at this place. location was ok but the beach is very but very wind. also the beach was pretty angry. we could not use the beach. breakfast ok. sometimes your eggs was cook by the chef. sometimes by the porter and sometimes by the housekeeping. english not so good but ok. we got a little issue when we got at hotel. room was conplete different of what we book. but for the first time in thailand. they act fast and give us a much better room. so for that they have a star. pool pretty good. and just around 10m to few restaurants. i can say i would stay here again

Not the greatest. Seemed like it had its day about 10 years ago...or more. Needs updating/care. Breakfast pretty good, room clean, but beds super hard, even for Thailand standards. Would be a good spot on the end of the beach in the right season but we hit the end of their stormy season and couldn’t use the beach much- sea was too rough. (You don’t see that in the pictures! Not that this is the fault of the hotel, of course, but good to keep in mind if you are looking for a beach vacation!) Good price but I think you can find better for a comparable price.

Everything you need for good $$

We checked in late at night (11.30pm), staff were really friendly. We were allocated rooms in the building off to the side (not the main area surrounding the pool). We were on 4th floor, one of our rooms looked out to the ocean, the other looked into another building. If you are just looking for somewhere to sleep and shower this building is fine. Included breakfast was average but considering how cheap our stay was, not complaining! Awesome pool and beach literally 50 steps away.

Bed bugs! Stay elsewhere!

Plan to stay at one of the many other resorts on Koh Samui. We booked a room for 3 people , and they jammed an extra bed into an already small room, leaving no space to move around. The facilities are outdated and we ended up with bed bugs (presumably due to the extra bed they crammed into the room). They offered no refund even though we had to leave for another hotel to avoid getting eaten alive in our sleep. There are so many better options on the island than this! Don't make the same mistake we did.

Quiet location close to everything you want & need

A middle range, well-worn hotel with good-sized rooms, big comfy beds & adequate aircon & bathrooms. There's a small pool with loungers and while some rooms have good balconies other dont't; there are patios at the end of landings with recliners etc where you can toast yourself nicely. The place is quite airy & refreshingly cool when you need it; staff are typical Thai, all smiles and keen to please. Beach very near at the quiet end of Chaweng but 200metres along you have beautiful (stone-free) beach and a warm inviting sea.

Perfect location

The hotel is nestled between 2 beautiful beaches and has a lovely pool too. Stayed in basic room but apart from the bath needing a good descaling, the room was large and towels, bedding, bottled water and toiletries were all refreshed daily. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. Lots of nearby bars and restaurants and a nice stroll to the busier end of the street with shopping centre, food markets etc. Ice bar was a let down though.

I didn't get the room I wanted and then the room I got was small and I'd n the fifth floor walked up and down everyday
