Basic hotel, close to beach & close to restaurants
Quiet, comfy bed & near beach
8
If u looking for just somewhere to sleep this place is for you. They don't really have a reception, it was just a gazebo in front of the building. The staff were nice. The room itself was ok, standard size, the bed is so comfy and also the room get clean daily. Two downsides for me was they have a sink outside the bathroom but no light so it was dim and dark in that corner and also the air-con keeps dripping water onto the fridge.
Locationwise was good. It's near beach about 5 mins walk and two 7elevens are just around the corner. Also near many restaurants and motorbike rental. Everything pretty much in walking distance no more than 5 mins. Beware of Mosquitoes on this island, there are so many of them even in the day time and they are big mosquitoes. Mosquitoes repellent is your best friend on this island.

Fair. You get what you pay for; a bed, a private washroom, tv, closet and refrigerator.

This hotel is fair enough considering the prices for other hotels on the island with a/c, fridge, t.v., etc. It's not great and not terrible: it's an in between of the cheap but primitive guesthouses and the pricier, but much nicer, resorts. For a hotel it's pretty bare bones, but I'd take that over paying 2-3 times more for the other hotels I saw.
The first room I was assigned was the corner room on the 2nd floor. It had a mildewy smell and tons of mosquitos and I saw that a problem, so I switched to room 11. This room was very small, but clean and up to par and without the mosquitos.
The locale is a mixed blessing: it's right inside the gates and about 1000 feet from Saikew beach, but it's also right next to a smelly dump and at the beginning of the main road where all the walkers, trucks and scooters pass by endlessly. There are few amenities (a fridge locked with some sodas is all I saw) and there is no decent hangout area- hell there is not even a lobby: the check- in/out is a table outside, and the person leaves pretty early. This concerned me as I wondered what I would do if I needed something or had a problem in the evening.
The girl at the front is friendly though, and the cleaning staff does a great job- they came in every day and cleaned up all th mess from the beach and brought fresh towels every time. This is even more appreciated in a place where you are always tracking in sand. The water pressure and room lighting are kind of lousy, but the bed was comfortable, the AC worked awesome and also drowned out the sounds from the street. I was there 4 nites and slept well all of them. If I returned to Ko Samet, I would stay there again if I could not find anything else- but I would seek better in the price range. Not likely though. All things considered, it's fair for the price. If all you need is AC, a nice bed, a shower and a cable station or 2, and want to be close to the beach then this is a good spot.
