Hotels near Laem Thian, Koh Tao

"Stayed in a hillside suite, lovely room and fantastic views. Staff were very friendly always helping with bags and there was a buggy to take up to our room. I rented a bike so got to hotel easy if not it is a little walk to the main area. There is a free shuttle to Sairee beach which is great and also a free shuttle to pier to get a ferry when leaving. The only negative is the pool was quite small and for the price and also would like a gym on site but of course booked knowing there wasn’t a gym so can’t be negative on that! Overall a great stay and would recommend. Thanks"

"We stayed in a triple room. It had everything we needed. Breakfast was included. While there wasn't a huge variety, you'd find something to eat (scrambled eggs, rice, meat, greens, fruit). The staff were friendly and ready to help if needed. The beach was nice. We went when the waves were high, so snorkeling wasn't really an option. There were small sharks swimming near the shore."

"I'm not a believer, but I can tell you that paradise exists, and it's right here on Earth! Everything was perfect. Since I couldn't get around easily, I called reception, and literally two minutes later, a little taxi took us wherever we wanted to go—restaurants, the pool, the mini-market. The pool is incredible, truly paradise, just like I said. The staff were top-notch, the rooms spotless, and the views, wow! A big thank you to the whole team ❤️"

"This hotel is located at the very end of Tao's busiest and liveliest street. The grounds are well-maintained, and the pool is deep and clean. They offer a free shuttle service to and from the pier. We stayed on the 3rd floor. The stairs are a bit steep. The room was small but cozy, with a balcony. Housekeeping came daily (they practically buried us in toilet paper!), and they brought fresh water every day too. The main issue with this hotel is the terrible acoustics in the hallway. Around 7 AM, when the cleaning staff arrive, they might place a dustpan or bucket on the floor in the hallway, but it sounds like they've put it right next to your bed, specifically at the head of it... And we were particularly 'lucky': we had a couple staying next door who enjoyed having drunken arguments..."

"We came here based on reviews and didn't expect it to be this nice! Everything was perfect. This single accommodation has absolutely everything. Room: The room was very clean, and the bed was so soft and comfy I barely wanted to leave it – I slept so well! Staff: Everyone provided excellent service, always smiling and cheerful. They treated us like family or friends, recommending things without us even having to ask. Atmosphere: The surroundings are very peaceful. There's a private beach with plenty of activities: volleyball, table tennis, snorkeling, island hopping by small boat, jumping rock, and even scuba diving lessons. Kayaking is also available. They have so many services, all in one place! We'll definitely be back to stay again next time. #The accommodation is in Tanote Bay, towards the end of the island, but it's absolutely the best!"

"I stayed at this hotel for two nights. The room was great very modern and clean but the room was very far from the main road and nightlife and restaurants - they did warn on the booking that this room is the furthest away from the beach and they didn't lie. Luckily they have golf carts that can take you to the main road and back 24h but is a bit inconvenient. The pool near my room was very luxurious. I would definitely recommend this room if you're just looking for a place to lay your head while you're taking your time in the day to go snorkeling and diving."

"Very pleasant place. Our room was comfortable and nice. Pushers are soft. Everything worked. The kitchen in this hotel seemed delicious for us. The sea is chic. Seen sharks, turtle and many other big fish. If you want to go to other beaches, there is an inexpensive transfer in the hotel. Enjoyable, polite people work in the hotel. Thank you for a great holiday. I recommend."

"Fantastic place! Staff and volunteers are wonderful and can't do enough for you. M/bike a must for exploration of this very hilly island and is provided at a very reasonable cost. Quite noisy at night which is completely understandable considering the very convenient location on main street and opposite 24hr supermarket. We stay often 😊"

"The hotel facilities are decent and relatively new, but the service is terrible. The front desk wouldn't even lend me nail clippers, I'm not sure if they're just chronically broke. They charge an extra 3% for card payments and play dumb when it comes to refunds, probably because they used to be food delivery drivers. They arbitrarily canceled my paid diving reservation and changed prices whenever they felt like it, completely lacking credibility. Don't even get me started on the diving; the divemaster is Thai, and you can imagine his English skills. The equipment is very old. I had to go barefoot with the fins, even though I brought shoes that I couldn't use, and ended up getting blisters. The wetsuit was short-sleeved and short-legged, resulting in many scratches, while the divemaster himself wore a full suit and shoes. There was no boat for diving; they subcontracted to Big Bubble dive shop, which is why the price was higher than elsewhere. Where was the boat? 'Under repair,' you know how that goes. Service: I'd give it 0 stars if I could, but there's no option."

"After arriving at the hotel, it was already clear to us that it was not as clean as it appeared in the photos. The room was not clean, towels were dirty, bathroom was dirty and the door to the balcony could not be closed properly. We had booked for 3 nights but checked out after the first night and asked for a refund. The service on site was very nice, however, and after we addressed the issues, they were understanding and did not take offense at our wanting to leave."
