    Great value for beach-front stay

    The breakfast was not good at all - don't pay extra for it. Trash on beaches in Thailand is a big problem, but usually hotels keep their own beachfront areas fairly clean. Sadly, at this hotel, they did not.

    We had an ocean-view room, which was slightly blocked by trees but still nice. The bed was VERY comfortable -- a rare thing at budget hotels in Thailand. Pool was very clean and family-friendly. There's a surf-board rental place next door. Walkable to quite a few restaurants.

    - Breakfast and the brakefast place. Coffee was not very nice. - Even the mattress and the bedsheets are really good, but I don't like the way that the bed frame (which built-in concrete) is a lot bigger than the mattress so that makes it is not comfortable and sadly that it is built-in concrete so that nothing you can change.

    The room design is very good, very clean. The mattress, bedsheet, towel and accessaries are the most excellent thing for this price of hotel. Location is very good. Staff was very friendly.

    The breakfast is awful, and I'd advise against paying extra for it if it's not already included in your rate. Even if it is, I'd suggest having breakfast elsewhere. It's served in a rather neglected gazebo on an even more neglected mini-beach. Sad fruit and vegetables without ice or anything to keep them fresh, cement flooring with smelly patches of old food and drinks accidents that haven't been cleaned in ages, stale cereals, and powdered coffee in a huge dispenser that's probably been boiling for days (and I suspect is responsible for my stomach ache). Very few choices, and what's available leaves much to be desired. In the room, there's a clear, waxy varnish applied to the long concrete surface that serves as a desk, wardrobe, and cabinet. It tends to stick to objects and can damage them. Lots of ants scurrying across the aforemenioned concrete surface and on my laptop and clothes. I mentioned this to housekeeping twice, but unfortunately, the issue was never fully resolved. It's not a major problem since ants are harmless, but it can be quite annoying when they get all over and inside your stuff.

    This modern-style hotel is located right on Nang-Thong beach, about a 10-15 minute walk from Khao Lak's main street where you'll find all the restaurants and shops. For your immediate needs, there's a small restaurant, shop, and laundry service just outside the hotel, and a few more eateries and stores closer by. I highly recommend booking the sea-view room - you won't regret it. The rooms overlooking the pool are a bit underwhelming, but the beachfront ones are very relaxing, with views of a small shrine and waves that'll lull you to sleep. The soundproofing between rooms is excellent, though I could hear some noise from the gym through my floor. It's not a big deal though, as it closes at 10 PM. The room is spacious and honestly more comfortable and cozy than it appears in photos. The bed is incredibly soft, and everything smells fresh. If they painted the ceilings white, it'd be even better. The style is unique, 'urban', and reminds me a lot of Japan. In fact, instead of the usual coffee and tea sachets, you'll get two packets of freeze-dried matcha tea each day. In the room, you'll find a kettle, safe, air conditioning, perfectly working Wi-Fi, toiletries (plus slippers, toothbrushes, etc. available on request at reception), two glass bottles to fill at the dispenser in the hallway, and nice lighting (various lamps, LEDs, and spotlights around the room). There's endless space for setting up computers and electronic devices. The staff is super friendly and almost invisible, reminiscent of a residence concierge. The pool is very refreshing and much appreciated given that during monsoon season, Khao Lak's sea is murky and rough, only enjoyed by surfers. If this is your only stay in Thailand, I'd recommend spending a few nights somewhere more characteristic, but for a budget-friendly option, this hotel offers REALLY great quality. Thumbs up, and I'd definitely return.

    Staff quote inflated prices that can be beaten further into to town. Paying a higher price, ostensibly to compensate the middleman for their role in arranging the transaction, is less preferable than, say, getting a fair price quoted and tipping the difference to the middlman and driver.

    proximity to beach, room value for money breakfast value for money, gorgeous view (rainbow over the ocean on the second morning)

    In case of heavy rain like this morning, we cannot stay at the breakfast zone. Everywhere gets wet. Recommend to have some protection such as canvas or shelter against the rain. Bedding is a bit smelly.

    Although the hotel was close to the beach, it was quite a walk to the shops and main road. One of my reasons for choosing this place was the polished concrete finish in the room but my partner did not like it. Not to everyone's taste. The chlorine level in the pool was excessive.

    Direct access to the beach. Although the restaurant was separate from the main hotel, it was very nice to eat breakfast with a view of the ocean. We chose a room with direct access to the pool which was very convenient. The staff were friendly.

    Great budge hotel with comfy beds and large rooms. Higher floors probably better option for privacy

    Stayed in a pool access room. The pool is right outside of the rooms (obviously) but because of how the pool is shaped, i had to keep my curtains closed the whole time as people were right in front of my room in the pool so zero privacy. Even in the evening. Also lots of noise as well from the people and kids in the pool. The communal pool lounges were right in front of my room! These rooms are probably better if you have kids who are running in and out to the pool all day or if you don't mind having your bedroom door and curtains open for everyone to see in. There is no lift which is why i chose to stay on the ground floor. So if you have heavy bags, keep that in mind. Hotel grounds are small and very average. The aircon in the room is very large and very loud even on low so i turned it off whilst i was sleeping.

    Rooms were large and clean and the beds were huge and so comfortable! Hotel is just behind the main strip of shops etc but a nice little restaurant directly next door for some Thai food and a drink. Hotel has a small gym and is 100m or so from the beach. You can ask for a beach towel from reception. There is a water filter machine in the hallway to refill your water bottles, and water jugs and glasses are also provided in the room. TV was large and modern and worked well.

    Unfortunately two of the girls at reception on check in were quite rude, also they didn't give me my change but said they did. I know they kept 370 Baht but I didn't want to cause a fuss. Due to this we won't be returning.

    The beach area wasn’t particularly clean, the staff could rake and clear up the rubbish around the beds.

    Most comfy bed ever! Room was great, very clean and lovely view of the sea. Water refill really handy. Wish we’d stayed in Khao Lak longer. Didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on that. Lovely pool.
