Det var rent och snyggt överallt. Men hela bygget luktar mögel/fukt som Àven satt kvar i handdukarna till stranden.Poolen mestadels i skuggan.
Frukosten kunde varit lite bÀttre. Odrickbart kaffe och endast en sorts te och bara apelsinjuice.
För övrigt mycket trevlig personal pÄ dagen. Mindre trevligt pÄ natten, dÄ personal pÄ plats inte kan hÀlsa eller ens ta blicken frÄn sin mobil. DÄligt med butiker men gott om "vuxenmassage".
Die Zimmer sind gross und gemĂŒtlich. Es mĂŒsste mal wieder eine grössere Renovation gemacht werden, man merkt, die Zimmer sind in einem veraltetem Zustand.

Was beetje ver weg van alles . Keken op een muur als uitzicht en zat een tussen deur tussen de kamers waar door het heel gehorig was . Zijn twee dagen eerder weg gegaan. Had zo slecht geslapen.
FjÀrde gÄngen pÄ samma hotell. LÀget Àr toppen. NÀra privat strand, Thaiboxning (superprosamui). Kunde vara bÀttre stÀdning. PrisvÀrt och bra service.
Good location and the staff are helpful
Nice beach close by

TrÀningsresa pÄ egen hand
Har bott i samma hotell tre gÄnger innan. Mars Àr betydligt bÀttre Àn november dÄ det Àr mindre turister. Bra lÀge med goda restauranger nÀra. GÄngavstÄnd till en privat strand var det finns gratis solstolar och parasoll, dock inte samma utbud under november mÄnad. Bra pool och wifi i hotellet. Gratis parkering pÄ bottenvÄningen. Frukost var bra under mars mÄnad men inte under november mÄnad. VÀnlig personal. Inga safety box i rummet men det fanns en i receptionen. NÀrliggande gata Àr trafikerad. Bra att bo pÄ 3-4 vÄning. Det finns ingen hiss. Tog trappor som trÀning. PrisvÀrd boende.
Geografiskt bra Ă€ven passar som 3- stjĂ€rnig. Ănskade bĂ€ttre faciliteter i rummet: kaffebryggare och vĂ€lfungerande vattenkokare
Inte en enda penna fanns och annars ok
Gatan man bor pĂ„ Ă€r inte direkt barn vĂ€nlig...dĂ„ det Ă€r mĂ„nga âmassageâ salonger pĂ„ gatan, skicket pĂ„ hotellet var heller inte den bĂ€sta dock vĂ€ldigt trevlig och hjĂ€lpsam personal.
Vi var tre personer som rest pÄ egen hand i Thailand. Första intrycket av hotellet var bra, rent och vÀlkomnande. Första frukosten var en besvikelse, men frukostarna blev betydligt bÀttre senare. Det var jÀttebra att hotellet hade en privat strand dÀr hotellets gÀster fick anvÀnda solstolar gratis. Hotellet var till stor del nyrenoverat, men vissa saker var inte utbytta, som t e x duschar och AC-anlÀggningar. Superbra annars! Vi hade en fin vistelse pÄ Koh Samui och hotell First Residence.
Great hotel with friendly staff. Very clean, nice are with many restaurants nearby. Pillows were too high, that's my only complain. No elevator but the staff will help you carry the bag up to your room.
chambre propre et classique , petit prix, je recommande

Inte samma kvalitet som mars 18
Var i samma hotell mars 18 och dÄ var det mycket bÀttre. Nu var rummet sÄ smutsig att vi krÀvde ett nytt rum. Den nya var bÀttre men hade spindelnÀt i varje hörn. Frukosten var inte bra. Helt annan kvalitet Àn sist. Vi valde att inte Àta nÄgot pÄ flera gÄnger fast vi betalade för det. Privat strand inte heller samma som sist, ingen parasoll och mycket skrÀp pÄ stranden som stÀdades under vÄr sista dag. Bra med egen bilgarag.
Bra service överlag. VÀljer inte mera detta hotell.

Cortesia,disponibilitĂ e professionalitĂ .
Ottima posizione.
Wi-Fi sempre funzionante e velocissimo.
PossibilitĂ di pagare con carta di credito.
Servizio lavanderia.
Non manca proprio nulla...
Great budget luxury hotel. 3 minutes walk to beach
Great staff, friendly, awesome breakfast, pool's wonderful. Big rooms with great bathrooms. Will definitely stay there next year. And not expensive compared to hotels on beach 3 minutes away.
