Location great, rooms fine, for the price it’s a ok place to stay for a few days. The staff were friendly on arrival and let us check in early. You can hear the aeroplanes as you’re really close to the airport, I imagine that is the case for anywhere in Chaweng

The beds are really hard. The mirror in our room was not clean, even after they tried to clean it it didn’t make much difference, couldn’t really use it.

very good value for money considering we spent £18/night. It’s a perfect deal for young travellers as the hotel is located in the noisy and vibrant Cha Weng so if you are planning to party during night time it’s just perfect. Room wise the bed was very comfortable and the ac was good. The staff could not speak English but we could communicate through Google Translate, they were friendly and treated us well. We rented a motorbike and had no issues!

please note if you want to stay in a quite area this is not for you, I would recommend this to young people that would like to enjoy the night life and clubs but not to elders or adults. also if you’re planning to stay more than two night consider the room is not very spacious and coming to the beach it gets dirty very easily, after two night it was a bit of a mess :) but if you’re not picky its just a perfect deal!

Good comfortable bed in a reasonably sized room and bathroom. It is in a great location in central chewang and right beside the beach , a 1 minute walk away. I have booked again in a months time. Recommended

They don't have room for a pool and as it was not offered, it's not an issue, but a pool would be nice

- Excellent location, very near the main road with lots of restaurants and bars. - Very close to the beach. - Clean comfortable room.

- The airport is nearby so there can be noise from the planes taking off. Not a particular issue unless sleeping during the day.

The fact that even though our ferry was late and we ended up being much later than expected, the property had informed somebody to give us our room keys without even the need for a long check-in procedure. Really appreciated that.

Our toilet was broken. When we informed them, they changed us to another room which was really good of them

Convenient and strategically located.

Maybe was just unfortunate luck as I stayed in Room 16, was fine but when was given Room 15 upon check in on another date post full moon, toilet did smell from drainage and there were a lot of flies.

Very lively area! Close to Central Festival and nightlife! Clean.

Overall ok, a bit of music from the road, but not loud, and not until too late, could sleep well!
