We had an amazing stay at the Ploen Chaweng! The front desk staff is so friendly, the rooms are spacious and very clean, had separate toilet & shower bathroom which was nice, and a cute balcony. Amazing deal for the price, would absolutely stay again!

The staff are very friendly and helpful, Joy and Aliz were lovely. Unfortunately a couple of things disappointed us, the is no actual pool on the rooftop and the shallow jacuzzi that is there is no more than a wadding pool with no working jets or bubbles. The rooms are well priced but a little rundown, it is a ten minute walk to the nearest beach along a very rough sidewalk, but all in all we had a good stay over the 7 days we were there because there's plenty of things to do around Koh Samui.

Perfect chilled location.
Staff are warm and welcoming.
Lovely lobby, with 24 hour service.
Large room, with all amenities. Excellent free mini bar, two beers, two soft drinks, a few nibbles, tea, coffee and water supplied each day.
Large bathroom and shower. Very hot water. Shower feel and shampoo supplied.
Breakfast is simple, but filling. Great coffee, fruit selection and choice of fresh eggs, cooked how you like with chicken sausages.
Can’t rate the hotel enough, would definitely stay again.
Hotel is clean and spotless.
Close to restaurants.
A few minute walk to the public beach which is great, advise take the hotel provided pool towels and lay on the sand.

I enjoyed this hotel, having a microwave and kitchen was really convenient. My one issue was that I was I was hoping for a pool I could swim circles in. I was thrown off by the pictures, it is too small for that, but it is perfect for lounging on the rooftop. And I really liked the rooftop, good view, lots of sun, and clean. Fortunately, the beach is a short walk away. I enjoyed the walk to the beach and back everyday. And the beach location is stellar! The water, colors, sand, etc. was a very memorable experience. Also, I was able to use the restaurant area for co-working and I found it pretty tranquil.

We didn't appreciate the 15-minute walk from the hotel to the public beach, even though the advert on the website stated it was only 150 meters. We really appreciated the friendliness of the staff.

Fantastic budget hotel with cool pool

For a budget hotel this was excellent. Smelt wonderfully fresh and clean that’s to the aromatic oils. Room was clean and spacious.
The best feature however was the small pool next to reception which was clean and more importantly COLD! The only cool water in Thailand haha
To come back from a day out and have a dip in this pool to cool off and refresh for the evening was bliss!

Good Quiet Location

Good location, quiet but just a few minutes walk to bars and restaurants. Best to turn left at the Mercury hotel and walk 10 minutes to the heart of Chaweng nightlife.

Our room had a pretty serious ant problem which was dissapointing. When explaining to the staff they sprayed the room but not a lot else unfortunately.

Room was modern and clean - great WiFi and good aircon. 7-11 less than 2 minutes walk away.

Expect to pay around 300 baht to the airport in a taxi.

Nice interior and friendly staff! Unfortunately though, the room smelled like mold and sometimes there were no pressure in the water pipes so we couldn’t shower. There were no breakfast and when we ordered and paid for it, it took forever to get it and it wasn’t very nice.
Quite a walk from the Chaweng center.
Otherwise good!

Clean but the map location is deceptive

From the map it appears as if the hotel is along the beach: it's not (the real location is actually across the main street and next to Penzy Guesthouse). The resorts along the beach completely block access to the beach so you have to walk 1km north to a small public access road. That was really disappointing. Besides that, the room is nice and clean with good styling and a small kitchenette. The pools are actually quite small and more suited for relaxing instead of swimming.

Room for 3!

We were a bit limited for choice as we needed a triple. However this was an excellent choice. Good value nice room with everything uou needed. Very stylish, clean etc. The only gripe was the location which was at the opposite end of Chaweng to.the action (with no trade off in terms of nicer beach). Frankly only 20 mins walk away though!

Hotel close to Chaweng Beach

We enjoyed our stay at Ploen Chaweng. It was within walking distance to many great shops and restaurants on the main road, and 10 minutes walk to the beach! The size of the room was great, and it included a mini kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave. The walk-in shower was also large. The balcony came in handy for air drying our bathing suits after a swim! The only complaints is that although the bed was large, it was a bit on the hard side; also, the walls are thin so we could hear our neighbor's TV at night. The worst part of our stay were the towels! They really need to be updated; they were thin and rough.

Hotel was nice, however the room was not cleaned, even if I asked them to clean it. The only thing they did was fix the bed, but didn't clean the bathroom, or the dishes in the sink. Sloppy for my taste. The internet had this annoying logging system, but worked OK. Everything else was fine.

I enjoyed my stay, good price with excellent service. Even through the hotel is not right beside the beach (10 mins walk), you do not miss much that beach is super Dirty.
The hotel is located on the chaweng area, great location; however, it is noisy at night. Must close all the window if you would like to have a good night sleep.
Overall, it is a great experiece. A little gem on koh Samui.

Good value, clean and modern at affordable rates

Was pleasantly surprised by Ploen Chaweng. Very clean hotel and rooms, daily service, and good location just close enough to the nightlife in Chaweng, but far enough away to avoid the crowds and noise. About a 10 minute walk to the main nightlife strip. Friendly front desk. Very good value to be had here; modern, clean hotel with friendly service at very affordable rates. Only gripe is that they didn't tell us not to throw away the glass water bottles, which get refilled, so we had to pay 100 baht for each of the two we threw away.

Die Unterkunft ist leider schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Wir sind mit unserem 4 Jährigen gereist und fanden die Lage sehr unpassend. Der Weg zum Strand dauert ca. 10 Minuten, Gehwege sind aber so gut wie nicht existent. Für uns hat die Lage nicht gepasst. Es gab in 4 Tagen auch mehrmals Stromausfall und das ist laut Angaben des Personals „normal“ für Chaweng. Das Frühstück ist ausreichend. Das Personal sehr freundlich. Wir würden es jedoch nicht weiterempfehlen.
