Excellent location,right on the beach!
Location, view and helpful staff
8.3
The luxury Sea View room was exactly that! The room was in the front of a 3 storey building with a balcony, 2 chairs and a table over looking the pool,then the sand and the beautiful beach with no obstacles in the way apart from a few coconut trees.
The hotel could not be in a more better and central location. About a 1 min walk to the main road, right behind McDonalds along with two 7/11 stores across from each other.The boxing ring,the bars and all the restaurants right there! We were absolutely delighted with our choice of hotel in terms of location and the reception staff were ever so helpful and positive. They even organised our motorbike rental to be dropped off and picked up at the hotel for the same price as the vendor.
The room was a little outdated and although it was a decent size, the small LCD tv was attached in a corner on the ceiling making it difficult to read subtitles etc. Of course Im picking now, the air-con worked well and the room was clean. There was no in-room tea/coffee facility but it was free near reception 24hrs. The breakfast was great on the beach as well. The gardens and surroundings were peaceful and we were never disturbed by any noise from the street or elsewhere.
We had absolutely no internet through-out our entire stay, I even purchased a signal strengthener for the wifi but we were just too far away from the only modem the hotel had which was at the reception, they told us they would be upgrading soon but it was a bit annoying to go down to reception everytime I needed to do some work.
All in all for comfort,view and location I think it cant be beat for the price. There are two hotels in the vicinity with similar names and we went to the wrong one,our hotel came and picked us up for free!Over all we are happy customers. Lamai Beach is definitely a couples and families area.

Inexpensive and comfortable hotel near beach
location, comfortable bed, cleanliness
6
Comfortable hotel, clean and very close to beach and restaurants & bars on beach. I didn't really like the bathroom because it did not have the Thai water hose & nozzle for the toilet and had a fixed shower head instead of a hose & nozzle. Besides that I was satisfied with the hotel. I was able to get the wi-fi signal from my balcony.

There was a fair few mosquito in rooms, the breakfast was average, the staff don't speak very good English. I would hire a bike from a different place as the ones here aren't very good bit used.
Restaurant Tip:
There is a Lil place on the beach called bikini bar good food lovely service good price

An OK hotel with a nice view
7.3
While the reception area was a bit sparse and the hotel itself doesn't really live up to the description totally, our stay was still a positive one. The staff were very helpful and available. The room and bathroom were okay. The view (we got a 2nd floor sea view) was awesome and the pool was also good. There's a laundry place 2 minutes walking distance, and a street with shopping and cafés close by. This area is definitely quieter than Chaweng, and overall was a positive stay.

2 star at best
The view from our room was fairly okay, airport transfer worked fine, management friendly

Make no mistake. This is a budget hotel with capital B. The reception is literally a whole in the wall and the rooms were not very clean, our towels were of different sizes, a tiny and a normal towel for two persons. Our keycards never worked so we had to ask the reception staff to open our door each time. Breakfast is served from a little hut on the beach and was two packs of toast, juice and a lady making eggs. It felt very street kitchen, and this feeling was enforced by the many stray dogs.The sea was very agitated and the level so high that there literally was no beach. In the immediate vicinity of the hotel you find a ladyboy bar(not show), McDonalds and lots of bars and pubs. I would not stay here or in Lamai with children during this period of the year (windy) or if you are looking for anything else than partying (and if you like partying I would probably recommend Chaweng).
Hotel Feature Tip:
If you stay here, at least get a deluxe room with sea view unless you like it rough. Whenever negotiating with locals you get much farther if you keep a smile on and don't raise your voice, even when you are losing patience.
