Mixed opinion...

We arrived on evening ferry, and was pleasantly surprised the hotel had a pick up waiting with a \"simple life\" sign. We had not called ahead and there was only one other guy who also did not order the pick up. When we arrived (we booked standard double room), the room itself was clean but the bathroom had a strong sewage scent. We brought it to the attention of the front desk, and asked to change rooms. There were no more standard rooms aviailable, and they offered an upgrade, at our cost, which we refused. After threatening to book a different hotel, we were given the upgrade at no additional cost. Not once did the manager come to speak with us directly. The upgraded room was larger, but definitely showed signs of age and wear. The sewer smell in bathroom was less but still present. For the rest of our stay, the staff service itself was great. Front desk was very helpful giving directions and advice for exploring the island. When we left \"do not disturb\" sign on the door, the cleaning staff still left toiletries and bottled water on thr porch.We had to check out very early and they packed some bananas and water for us. Overall, despite the helpful staff and fantastic location, I would consider exploring other hotel options.

Modern, close to town & beach, excellent amenities

Quick and early check in by very friendly staff, room was very spacious, clean and modern with a nice view of the pool. Very close to both the main shopping area of Sairee and the beach itself. Hotel has many amenities, including spa, bar, restaurant, nice pool, and can just about organise or advise on anything else you might want to do on the island. Loved the place so much, extended my stay 3 times. Was great value given all the above.

Perfect for my needs

Very enjoyable stay over 16 nights. Close to centre and Sairee beach but set back, so quiet. Gorgeous pool. The cleaners work v hard and the room, grounds and pool v clean. Breakfast generally good but got a bit 'samey' Lots of cheap cafes near by though. Staff all v helpful and cheery.
Only drawback - you will likely hear your neighbours TV or muffled chatting as walls thin and echoey concrete building and I was woken up every morning at 06.30 ish by furniture being dragged across the floor above or next to me. This noise continued well into mid morning. Probably the cleaners.
The room deco is generally shabby even tho I had a boutique room. General repairs not completed, loose floor tiles but bed comfortable (firm) and clean, good quality linen change every other day. Pool towels and bottled water supplied daily.

One of the best 3 star hotel in koh tao

I chose this hotel due to the reviews people left about staff and I was so glad that I did. The lady at reception is very friendly and helpful. A free pickup and drop off was provided from and to the pier. Anything you need all you have to do is ask and they are happy to help. They never pushed to buy tours or rent bikes through them and always gave us honest information. The bike rental place they recommended was very good too. It was olis motorbikes, near the pier.

When we arrived they upgraded our room for free to a bigger one. It was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was included which was also nice. You could order the way you wanted your eggs and they would make it fresh.

Decent size swimming pool. Very close to the restaurants and walking distance to sairee beach. Overall I'm glad I picked this hotel. One of the best 3 stars I've been in and will definitely stay there again. Highly recommended if you are on a budget but want a smooth and comfortable stay.

Beds were comfortable

Hotel grounds look like a giant swamp...could use some serious landscaping and better drainage in the walkway near the pool

That aside, nice clean pool, great staff, great location. Overall a great 3 night stay, just dont trust the photos of the hotel, as it looks nothing like this.

Good location

Older outdated room. Nice pool, nice staff. Breakfast was pretty average. Main issue was our shower didn't work. Originally thought it was the island/Songkran having a shortage but spoke to some others staying there and their shower was fine. Asked the staff to look into it and nothing happened. So only 3 cold drips of a shower for our stay there. Otherwise it was fine to stay at, great location near good food and nightlife.

I stayed in a superior room which in general was great, but you needed to walk down a dingy hallway to get to it, and the whole room/area smelled like urine.

Pleasant stay in central location with great staff

This hotel has all the basic things we required and was central to where we wanted to be. The staff were helpful & friendly and overall we had a good experience. Ultimately we only required a room to sleep in as we were scuba diving everyday, but it was much better than some of the other accommodation we had seen and heard about. It has reasonably good, free wifi and I would definitely recommend the massage parlour that is attached to the hotel. It is close to many restaurants and bars but relatively quiet given its close proximity to these. There is a lovely garden area that encloses a pool and although I could imagine that the pool would get busy at peak times, the beach is very close. All in all it was just what we wanted.

You can get better for the price

Rooms are very small - no space to lay out gear. Take care with the garden view rooms as it is really a very small garden and the main view is of the bar which can be noisy - we were in a sea view room but even then you could hear the noise - and to make it worse we were woken at 3am one night with loads of shouting. Staff were friendly but there is scope to improve the rooms and other facilities.

Nice quiet hotel near the Sairee beach

Simple LIfe exceeded my expectations. I requested a quiet room which I got towards the back on the 2nd floor. The room was clean and comfortable with a large balcony. I was worried that I would hear the night life but didn't. I slept like a baby. Very good location to Sairee beach to catch a long tail boat to Yang Nuan Island or other day excursions. Also near Big Blue Diving Resort if you are planning to dive there. Close to all amenities, Sairee Village etc. There's also a decent sized pool if you don't want to swim at the beach. The nearby spa/massage is quite good. Breakfast was included and was fantastic. I would recommend Simple Life. The price is very reasonable.

Cute Place

It was a fine stay, we got upgraded when we checked in due to no standard rooms available which was great! We wanted to extend our stay in the upgraded room, but we're told we'd have to switch back down to the standard room as the resort was empty (start of low season), so we switched resorts instead where we shopped around and got a place for a cheaper price, closer to the beach and a free upgrade. The pool at simple life is great, the wifi is terrible but it's in a great area and quiet in the back.

Say \"No hot bread\" if ordering takeaway breakfast

The hotel can provide takeaway breakfast box if we want to join early morning activities (e.g. diving).
We can pick up the box in advance (at PM 9:30 of previous day).
It contains sandwich (we can select ham, chicken, and tuna), cut-fruits and bottled water. Taste good :)

However, they insert meats into HOT BREAD directly.
It is good for immediate consuming, but not adequate for overnight preservation.

I strongly recommend to select \"No hot bread\" option when you want to get the meal at previous night.

The hotel is in a great location, and looked nice from the outside. Unfortunately when we tried to relax after a long bus/ferry trip we noticed the bed was crawling with bugs and there were blood stains all over the sheets.

The rooms are clean and our room was very quiet, couldn't here any noise off the street, as it is set back a little from the street. The rooms are spacious, we had the delux room and there was plenty of space. By Koh Tao standard, I wouldn't pay anymore than around the $130 per night , so look for the deals!!!! When you leave Koh Tao and you are catching a flight out that day, I would allow plenty of time , as the ferry scan be running late.

very friendly, clean hotel in lush, quiet gardens!

Went with partner and stayed in the standard boutique, however when we got there they had upgraded us to deluxe boutique. Staff are super friendly and smiley, very helpful when organising trips/ taxis etc. Rooms are cleaned very well everyday, and have a powerful air con plus it seemed all rooms have a view of they beautiful gardens or hills of the island. Would definitely stay again. Breakfast included and it's all you can eat, and very good food. Pool area is nice and you only have to cross the road to the beach and shops. You are in the centre of everything but at night you can't hear the music or anything from outside. A little paradise. we booked snorkelling. Trip with them for 750 baht and was great.

Very quiet at night and close to all the action

Great place to stay if you want to be within easy walking distance of the beach and nightlife but still want to be able sleep. To get to the beach you walk through the beach front hotels'- right past people's rooms. At Simple life resort no one goes through the hotel except people staying there. So nice and peaceful at night and early morning. We had a superior room which was nice and big with a balcony. The swimming pool is nothing special but at least you don't have to share it with divers doing their training - like many other hotels. Simple life dive centre is somewhere else not near this hotel. Breakfast was very good especially if you like Asian food. They do lots of western options as well. We stayed for 8 days and can recommend this place. Make sure you get the breakfast included deal when you book.

Only a less positive note for the restaurant, the breakfast was terrible, kind of western wannabe food, but all seem to be made of plastic. Restaurant staff not the kindest, just randomly pointing at people, laughing and talking about them in Thai. Many better options around. Excluding the restaurant this would have been a 5x experience.

Just misses the mark

We stayed 3 nights between Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. We knew sairee beach was busy and asked for a quiet room which they gave us. It's perfect for all the hustle and bustle and night life. The room was great, but a slight smell of sewage in the bathroom. The staff fixed the flat battery on the safe immediately and also fixed the fridge door( which fell off when we put the water bottles in it). The evening meals were absolutely excellent and very good value for money. The breakfasts were ok. The door to room had a knack to unlocking it and after being shown on two occasions, my husband acquired the necessary skill. The pool was beautiful, the staff were great but overall the whole place needs a refurb particularly the bathroom especially for the money they charge.

The hotel itself is in a good location with plenty of nightlife and food places on your doorstop. The pool is nice but limited sun beds in the sun so get a spot early on. Overall, a great stay.

Nice hotel

Nice hotel, 3 minute walk to the beach, small pool doesn't get a massive amount of sun on it.

Breakfast is terrible.

Mon/Wed/Fri - all you can eat pizza! Very good.

Cocktails are ok but slow.

Simple pleasures

Originally booked a standard room, on arrival I found I had been upgraded to a standard boutique room. Really nice spacious room, air-con, free wifi, tv, fridge, enormous bed etc. The reception and cleaning staff were brilliant. Free breakfast was included; really nice, and plenty of choice even for a vegetatian like me. Would definitely recommend to friends and hope to stay there again when I next visit Koh Tao.

Decent hotel close to everything

Hotel is clean, friendly and has decent sized rooms with everything you would expect from a hotel of this standard. Pool area is nice and the restaurant/bar associated with the hotel serves decent food at good value. Five minutes walk to sairee beach. Would stay there again if returning to Koh Tao.

Needs updating

Hotel is in a great location - easy to access the beach and shops and bars.
Rooms are old - need updating - shower only had hot water 1/3 days.
We had a view of a building ste from our room!
Reception staff were really friendly and booked our trips and ferries for us.
Breakfast was POOR. We paid for breakfast in an alternative restaurant on our 2nd dayas our 1st exprience was so poor! It's not a buffet as you have to select from a set menu of 5 plates of food - all vary just by the eggs.

Great hotel for a average budget

No it's not 5 star but you get what you pay for, so you can't knock this hotel . a short stroll from the beach, clean and tidy, and helpful staff

Wonderful staff!

Room was clean and quiet. Staff went out if their way to accommodate our wishes. They helped us decide what to do and made all the arrangements, making sure we were done and back in time for our departing ferry. Our room would have had a prettier view closer to the pool. The \"Gardens\" need a few more years to develop!

Great staff, large and quiet room

We had a quick yet very pleasant stay in this hotel in January 2014. What stroke us the most was the staff who was really friendly and helpful. The room was pretty big and clean, has a safe and hot water. At night very quiet, even though the area can pretty chaotic at night. The hotel has a pretty nice swimming pool. The breakfast which is included is a large buffet, with american and european breakfast choice. Don't be late they stop serving at 10 sharp! The hotel is well situated five minute walk to the beach and close to lots of diving centers. We do recommend this place.

Better elsewhere for price

Free pick up from pier, bottled water in fridge. Bathroom in need of renovations, wifi super slow to point of non usage. Cleanliness questionable

Very nice room. Internet was fast, A/C strong, and hot water satisfactory. Pick up and drop off (free at specific times that line up with the high speed catamaran) was nice too. The hotel was a few minutes (tops) from the beach which we enjoyed because it meant the only traffic by our room was staff and other guests.

Clean comfortable and quiet. 2min walk to beach.

Me and my fiancé stayed here for 7 nights at the beginning of October and we loved it. The room was large with nice balcony, flat screen TV with mini bar and it was cleaned with fresh sheets everyday. Staff were friendly and helpful always greeted with a smile.
Hotel is located in right in the middle of everything but not on top of it all. Perfect.
I would definitely stay here again. :o)

Better for families with children

Not a spot for romance. Good for families with kids. Right smack in town and a 2min stroll to Sairee beach. Good restaurant with happy hour specials and well priced yummy food.
Condition of hotel is very clean but maybe a bit run down. No real views. Property overlooks a vacant lot and some tarps hanging.
Great, friendly service.
Pool over run with screaming kids.
