Great experience from staff who went above and beyond”

We had visited Chilli Hotel before and booked a room for 3 people. I made a big mistake though and got my booking dates wrong, and only realized when arriving at the hotel. The hotel staff were really helpful though and gave us a room even when they shouldn't have, and helped us with an extra bed. The hotel is well located and has a great free breakfast and other services. We enjoyed walking to the beach, local restaurants and convenience stores from the hotel and I like how they have free Wifi and a place to clean your feet before going to your room. We also enjoyed a nice seafood dinner at the restaurant. But the staff going above and beyond happened as we were leaving. My friend left her phone / ID card / credit cards in a motorbike we had rented that wasn't even connected to the hotel, but the hotel staff regardless helped us locate the lost items and sent them back to us in Bangkok, not even charging us for anything, saying they just wanted to help their hotel guests. I'll be honest about Koh Samet, the rooms in the main town area don't really go over 3 stars, and it's not a perfect hotel experience. This is why the attention the detail does go a long way and my group really did appreciate it. I would recommend this hotel to those staying in Koh Samet's main town area and to the staff of the hotel, if you're reading this, thanks again for all your help and generosity! There are some bad reviews for this hotel here and on other platforms, but they must be out of date.

great location for price”

Very smooth check in. I was very surprised at the standard of the room and location. I was unaware of Samet layout and found this hotel in a very good location. Close to the shops and about a 3 minute walk to the beach. There were a few bars nearby and plenty of shops. Samet is inhabited around the beaches. There are alot of restaurants along the beach which provides a great atmosphere. Chilli is very convienent to these restaurants. The room was a great size and a nice bathroom. No room safe but the hotel provided a safe deposit box at reception You dont spend alot of time in your room but the tv channels were all in Thai, no big deal. All in all i would stay here again and would recommend to others if you want a good hotel at a great price

Nice Rooms”

We went to Koh Samet and stay in Chilli hotel for few days, the rooms were very atractive and clean, the rooms had refrigirator and are very spacious, our host were friendly and helpful. This place will be at the top if they add a breakfast to the service, and keep the halls and entrance as clean as they keep the rooms. they need to add a space for friends to meet since the hotel lack a hall or living room.

Lovely hotel”

Chilli hotel was an overall wonderful experience. The rooms were clean and modern. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The location is perfect(right in between the pier and main beach both of which you can easily walk to). And the restaurant at the front desk was excellent, great food at reasonable prices. Food was actually better than most of the other restaurants we tried. Would definitely go back for another stay!

Close to the beach, cleanness hotel”

This is the third time I went to koh samed and stay in Chilli hotel, it was my first choice to stay here compare with other hotels in samed beach, in particular for its location and surrounding for chilli hotel, it has comfortable bed, clean room and especially provide wifi service and great location which only 1 min walk to sai keaw beach, it was good overall.

I loved Chile hotel ”

I rooms are very and very clean . The only downside is maybe the size the room but its more than enough 2 people to stay and sleep given the location the small island. I had an acccident during my stay and the staff helped alot I had fallen off my motorbike. Ive stayed alot of hotesl in Koh Samet this is one of best ones available for the price here

Exellent”

Perfect location midway between jetty and the beach. Staff very friendly and helpful, having stayed at Koh Samet on previous occasions to find a hotel so clean and tidy throughout made our visit an even better experience.

Brand new, clean hotel 3 minutes from the beach”

Admittedly there are hotels/resorts on the beach, but for the price, Chilli Hotel was a great choice. The walk to the beach takes about 2-3 minutes, the rooms are clean and the bed is new and comfy. Strongly recommend!

Excellent”

Rooms were clean and comfortable, the lady in charge was very helpful, the included breakfast was good value. Plenty of places nearby either in town or on the main beach to eat and drink. Get the wooden ferry to and from Koh Samet if you are in town, it takes around 30 minutes and much smoother ride and much better value than the pushy speed boat companies, make sure you find the correct pier.

fair hotel”

TWe stayed in this hotel because we spent only one night in Koh Samet , this hotel is close to the beach The staff is attentive , despite the language barrier The rooms are clean , and furnished with what is needed for a short stay. The standard of this hotel is not high, it's a good price but for a really short stay. I would recommand only if you are staying one night or two and you are UNDER BUDGET, otherwise go for something with a higher standard

Cosy, convenient, fuss free”

It was extremely value for money. The ground level ponds easily though, there is a dry but narrow pavement to take - not so convenient for people with big luggages. My room was on the second floor, welcomed by big transparent sliding door (that's the room door) and 2 chairs and a table outside with a nice pot of flower on it. It was very inviting. The room was very clean, so is the toilet. Nicely folded towels as swans on the bed, a super useful clothes rack after getting wet at the beach and all, decent wifi speed and ample power sockets. For some reason clothes dry very fast in the room too. The TV channels were limited though, all were Thai channels, so if you ended your night early in Samet and return to the room, there is practically nothing on TV for the night you can watch. Overall it's still very pleasing though, we could also leave our baggage with the counter after check-out while we continue to explore the island. Walking distance from Na Dan pier about 10mins (you don't get lost, there's only one path), and walking distance to Sai Kaew Beach for about 5mins. Very convenient.

Good place and very not far from boat drop off place. ”

Nice place, can rent a scooter on opposite of the building and enjoy the chilli restaurant. Many beaches from big and busy to small and quiet. Staff was always friendly and very helpful. At night everything was quiet. I will book this hotel again for sure.

Good first Impression”

- receptionist really nice and accommodating (contrary to the usual Koh Samet experience) - restaurant had great options for food - rooms cleaned daily

Nice rooms and wonderful food”

It is located in Samed Village and about a minute walk to the beach. It has a convenient location on almost anything you need. They also have a restaurant with a wonderful selection of food with reasonable prices. I booked an island hopping tour through the hotel frontdesk and it was great.

Good value for money”

Chilli Hotel is located on the main street of Koh Samet. The island is quite a basic place, more for backpackers than for vip tourims. Therefore most of the hospitality has basic standards. Chilli is a good compromise: not too expensiveyet comfortable & clean. My room was spacious, with A/C, fan and fridge. 2 bottles of water were offered daily by the hotel. The only strange thing is that my room entrance was a full glass wall! Despite the dark tent I often had the feeling of sleeping in a shop window!!! Since my room was not facing the main stret the noise coming from there at night was not an issue for me. I also tried the restaurant: very good and not at all expensive.

Exceptional”

If I ever return to Kho Samet I will be staying Chilli Hotel for sure.

Great location and friendly staff”

We stayed three nights at Chilli recently and had a great time. There is a 500 baht key deposit, which you of course get back when you leave. I wish we had gotten clean towels every day as part of housekeeping, but other than that we had a great stay. Air con and fan both worked great, good shower pressure, clean room with a fridge.

Just far enough away”

The hotel is just far enough away from the noise at Hat Sai Kaew beach but still close enough to get to it in a 5-10 minute walk. It is in the town center so it is close enough to everything you might need. Rooms are clean and new. a good choice for your first trip to Koh Samet provided you are not really looking for a secluded resort type experience.

Clean hotel, good location”

Enjoyed stay at chilli hotel, 5 min walk from pier and lively beach. Clean rooms, always changed sheets when asked. Staff were very friendly. Good sized fridge, air con and fan which was needed! TV but no English channels. Irish pub a couple of doors down along with two 7-11's. Cons- bed was very hard. Not very sound proof- Cockeral outside that sings every morning about 2am and builders next door start hammering early. Resturant was pretty average, many more lovely restaurants in the beach just a short walk away. ( check out the 5* hotel on the left hand side of the beach, gorgeous resturant, good food and very well priced!) All in all a great place to go if you're looking for a nice beach holiday with lively night life just a short walk away

Clean and Convenient”

This is an in-town hotel just 5 mins walk to the beach. The town is very small, just a street and not too noisy with a little bit of traffic. We were happy with our weekend stay, the only disturbing noise we had were the cockerels outside at 4am! We had a large double bed room with a glass sliding door, like a patio door, at the back of the hotel. You had to keep the curtains drawn for privacy so no outside window. Some rooms have a window but on the road-side is more noisy. Staff were friendly and efficient. Rooms were clean and prepared well. We missed the ferry from Ban Phe (too late) and got the speedboat over (250 baht each) which dropped us off at the beach just a 5 minute walk away from the hotel. We had to wade in carrying our luggage although they did help with that. The Nadan Pier would have been a 15 minute walk or 100 baht taxi ride. We'd stay there again as it was a great location for the beach. The hotel is just inside the national park so expect to pay an entrance fee. We arrived in the evening so avoided it (unintentionally). Sightseeing/Attractions Tip: We went on the afternoon snorkelling trip (bookable on the beach or at one of the many shops) and enjoyed a great half day on a speedboat and snorkelling in two locations. The first bay had some sea urchins so look carefully before you put your feet down!
