The check in process was relatively easy it’s walking distance from the pier about 500 meters the room was clean the aircon was cold there is free tea and coffee available in the foyer a kettle in the room would be more convenient but I was happy with my stay here

very low quality

So me and my son have been travelling Thailand for 4 weeks now and stayed in various properties. This was in a poor condition, dirty walls, loads of little flies in the room, air conditioning not working properly, and then this morning when we woke up loads of condensation in the walls. The bathroom smelt of urine. Would not stay here again.

So much potential, but can't recommend.

PROS - The hotel is a great location for people who don’t care about the full moon party - walking distance to the pier and the night market with super delicious and cheap eats. You can also walk the other direction for great sunset views and if your lucky even find secret beach. The pool area is on a river and really nice (although the wooden bridges overlooking the rivers are rotting and unstable.

CONS
The staff were friendly but the hotel is a bit run down. The internet doesn’t work outside the lobby - they moved us rooms (from double to twin) to a room with “better wifi” but they should just advertise it as lobby-wifi only as we never got it to work. The beds need to be replaced - they are very uncomfortable. In the double they were better, but one of the twin beds was so old and hard - you could literally feel the springs. We regretted moving rooms. The TV in the twin room also didn’t work which was frustrating: my bf was feeling sick both days we were here, so spent a lot of time in the room, which was wifi/TV less and had terribly uncomfortable bedding. The only time we tried to order from the hotel restaurant they said they didn’t have food and sent me into town to get something.

Overall, if you don’t care about wifi/tv and aren’t a picky person with hard beds, the pool, location and staff were great! However, I can't recommend it as I would not stay here again.

Great stay! Far more quieter than other hotels. Close to night markets and certainly plenty of beer in the reception beer fridge! Hotel manager was a great host she gave us free breakfast and laundry never smelt so good and clean!

I chose this hotel over others due to a few things which included location, laundry services and wifi availability. They provided a wifi connection to me and advised it will not connect in my room. Which made the wifi useless.

THEY ARE USING WELL WATER (UNTREATED) \n

Stayed here on my last night in Koh Phangan because I had to take the ferry early morning and this hotel is not too far from the pier.
the hotel is just ok. the pool was full of tree leaves and no one was there.
the location is 5 minutes walk from the center. the BIG problem was the water from the shower.
when i turned on the water it looked yellowish green. I wasn't sure if it was the dim light effect or me so I got out without taking a shower and poured the water into a glass and sure enough it was yellowish green and smelled fishy. looks like they are using well water without any filtration.
i told the guy at the front desk but he didn't care. after several weeks traveling in Thailand, I became accustomed to the fact that no one understands you or tries to. I had few days left and I was already tired of how they treated tourist as walking money bills.

Fantastic

Perfect little stay in koh phangan if you're on the move a lot. Good location on the island, middle distance from just about everything and close to the food market. Hotel rooms was perfect for the price. Clean and modern. The breakfast was decent and a nice touch to our stay. The pool could do with a little bit of TLC, but still quite nice. Would recommend if you want a break from hostels or you like spending your days exploring and generally not spending time in hotel.

Nice little hotel

The hotel was clean and comfortable (particularly in comparison to many other places on Ko Phangan), and very convenient to the ferry if you need to catch an early morning boat. The on-site restaurant was good and was very cheap. The only issue was that the WiFi didn’t work in the room, I had to go down to reception to get coverage.

Cockroaches!

This room was less than desirable. The female staff were friendly but the male staff had no time for us. Our room had cockroaches, the shower was awful, the bed was rock hard and the sheets didn't fit.
The pool and Deck were in terrible shape. My partner and I almost fell through the deck. The pool does NOT look like the picture. Do not stay here.

Not bad

I was there one night as a stop gap, nice and cheap but you can see why when you get there. Would be great for the money if a couple of things were improved on, for example my room door didn't lock at all, and the bathroom didn't come with soap (although it did have shampoo and shower gel). All in all not a disaster but not amazing. But the staff were lovely and friendly though and was near the pier which is all I needed.

Nice hotel :)

Really nice hotel, at a quitter part of the island, but still, close to bars, restaurants and seven eleven.
Welcoming staff!
The room is pretty basic, big with tv and air con.
Nice pool!
A few minutes walk raja fairy peer.
Only stayed for one night, so I can't give a more expanded review:)

Important info:
At first they couldn't find my reservation, so when you get there, say that you booked through expedia :) (luckily i knew that from a guy a met a week before).

Posizione ottima, a pochi minuti a piedi dal centro e dal night market. Camera molto spaziosa e pulitissima. Pulizie giornaliere. Personale gentile e disponibile. Nella hall c’è anche la possibilità di acquistare a prezzi convenienti (sia di giorno che di notte) da bere, da mangiare o qualcosa da stuzzicare. Ottima soluzione rapporto qualità prezzo.

Odalar çok rutubetli

Bu otelde yeni yılda 4 gece kaldık.
Odamız bakımsız ve rutubet kokuluydu. 2. Gün odada ki rutubet iyice arttı ve odada ki tüm kıyafetlerimiz kokuyordu ve ıslanmıştı. Saç havlusu imkanı yok tek bir havlu veriyorlar ve birşeyleri kurutmak çok zor
Bahçesi çok güzel ve bir dere kenarında. Bu yüzden çok fazla sivrisinek vardı. Havuzu fotoğraflarda çok güzeldi ancak gittiğimizde kirliydi ve girmedik. Resepsiyonda ki hanımefendiler çok kibardı bize çoğu konuda yardımcı oldular. Motoru otelden kiraladık ve oldukça iyi fiyatlıydı. Feribot iskelesine ücretsiz transfer ettiler.

Very close to Thong Sala. I was given the last room on the side of the mangrove so far from the noisy road as requested which is a good thing. Nice little swimming pool but unfortunately used by local kids playing loud. The problem of this property is that you hear everything from the other rooms. I had noisy neighboours above moving chairs, slamming door all night long... was a nightmare for sleeping.
