    The main road out the front is very busy but (1) you don't need to cross it to have access to Fisherman's Village, the night market or other shops and restaurants, and (2) Only one of the rooms on each floor faces the road from what I could tell, the others, including mine, are away from the road so the noise wasn't bad - just a bit of a gentle background hum.

    Very big room that even has a little kitchen area. Good location just a short walk from the night market and Fisherman's Village. Friendly, helpful staff that are happy to help organise other things you might need such as transport to the airport or tours. Very good price for this location and room facilities.

    Nothing I didn’t like, just to note you’re about a 10-15 minute walk from the beach and the place is on the main road.

    The room was large, clean, with plenty of clothes storage, dressing table, small dining table, kitchenette and bathroom. Lovely big bed. The location was excellent for accessing Fisherman’s village and the night market. Was quiet, some traffic noise from the main road but nothing earplugs can’t fix. Felt safe and secure. It was my last night in Thailand and I’d needed a place to crash before my flight the next day. This place was perfect for that. I was able to potter around the night market for food and final gifts, and the very friendly staff organised my taxi for the following morning to Samui airport, which is about 15mins away.

    It’s located just by the main road so a bit noisy as well as music from the night market.

    Owners of the hotel were so friendly. No problems to book an extra night without notice. Room was very big and clean, exactly like the pictures. Laundry service 50 bht per kg.

    my tv was really outdated and didn’t work, I asked for toilet paper a few times and it wasn’t topped up as there is a slight language barrier so they did my friends room instead of mine.

    decent location right by 7-11 & Fishermans Village which is a lovely night market, lots of shops, bars & restaurants along the beach. Nice beach with water spots activities. the front desk ladies were helpful and nice. spacious room with cooking facilities, made me feel at home.

    The noise! Room 308 facing very busy road with windows having gasps the size of a football field 🤣 It felt like I was sleeping on the side of the road. The worst sleep I have ever had, luckily it was only one night. In at 2200 and out by 0700. Don't use Google Maps to find the place, it sends you to the middle of nowhere. Use Booking.com location.

    Spacious room with decent bed and shower.
