Good spot for a few nights only
New build hotel with small pool, large rooms, equipped kitchen and huge bed! Laundry can be done on site and you can also hire a scooter without need for deposit or passport which is handy. 300 baht deposit needed for room key on arrival, worth noting. Location is around 10-15 mins walk to lamai beach but lots of food places around.
Negatives about our stay were more memorable than the positives unfortunately.. although the rooms themselves are well soundproofed, upon hanging the doors, they left a 2cm gap all the way round. So you can hear every foot step, every door close, every cough/burp/sneeze from the whole floor. In addition to this, zero soundproofing has been applied to the plumbing in the building. We heard every shower and every flush at all hours of the morning. I woke at 5.45 with the manager it seems. Theres also a very strong smell of perhaps damp? Coming from the shower drain. The owner mentioned a smell when we came in and turned on fans which cleared it but it always came back. This hotel is essentially full of muay thai customers so its definitely not a party hotel which we enjoyed. Keep in mind only a few rooms have a balcony so unless you specifically book one, you have no outdoor space and there arent really spots around the pool that get sun.
One final note, we tried to give a stray cat with a broken leg some water from a plant pot and the manager lost her mind at me and my partner. Were 29 + 32 so we didnt appreciate a scolding for something so menial
