Reviews
It’s a nice, clean, center located place to everything you want, beach is just across the street and lots of restaurant/nightlife at walking distance. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they maintain good cleaning.
Great to make friends very social place to stay and food was very nice
Don’t stay here if you want to get some sleep, it’s right next door to a nightclub so music is loud till 3am most nights
My room didn’t have a window or balcony so felt very boxed in

The place is much older and run down than in the photo
Room is clean but the MUSTY DAMP smell everywhere.
Corridor is exactly what you have in a student hall … very old, smell and run down.
Location is right next to Central shopping mall - convenient for those who wants to go to shopping mall.
Reception is unfriendly with an unwelcoming look.
Not worth the almost 5 stars review
The room were clean, the bed was really comfortable in my opinion and they offered daily room service. There was only one big disadvantage for me, the air condition only works when the room key is in the room. So every time you leave the room, the air is standing, really warm and smelling really bad also because of the toilet paper in the trash, ...
Another problem with the room was that the a few towels had stains on them.
All in all we really liked the stay, if you want to close to the center this is the perfect Hotel.
Tipp: Ask for a room in the 2. house out of 3, because there is the rooftop pool and the laundry room.
It was very bad. The walls are so thin, that I was woken up a couple of times because my neighbors were talking loud.
In the room are two very bright blue LEDs. They are so bright, that the room is not dark at all. It's blue. I tried to cover them with a towel which worked so so ok. On the ceiling there is a smoke detector, which is very good, but it has a blinking led light as well, very annoying in the dark as well.
My Rest factor was very low. Everything else of the stay was ok.
Simple rooms, clean, well presented with minimal extras. A great place to stay if you don't intend on being inside the room much, as the room is very plain and has no balcony or view.
Very good location at Samui Central. Room was quiet, clean, comfortable beds and pillows. 5 minutes walk to the beach and 10 minutes drive to the airport.
Housekeeping staff and staff working at the front desk were friendly, helpful and welcoming.
