The hotel lies about 1.2 km from Chaweng's nightlife center, a 14-minute walk or 2-minute drive. Koh Samui Airport (USM) is 2.4 km away, roughly a 5-minute drive. Nearby dining options include the Noodle House restaurant at 101 meters and Wawee Coffee cafe at 146 meters, both within easy walking distance.

Reviews
So either you are European and like cheap hotels, run. If you are Asian, the treat you so bad. I have never seen something like this before.
The room was clean and big and the staff was very helpful and always available when you have a question
The restaurant was also amazing we ate almost every night there from Greek food to Thai food
I Highly recommend this place.
