Find 3-Star Hotels in Koh Samui

"The room was clean and tidy, and there's a swimming pool downstairs. It's about a 300-meter walk to the beach, and you'll pass a 7-Eleven-like convenience store on the way. Head north and you'll find a lively street with a night market in the evenings. For Koh Samui, this hotel offers incredible value for money."

"Cons: 1. The biggest issue: the king-size bed is made up of two single beds pushed together, with two mattresses and two mattress toppers. This setup doesn't create a single, unified surface, resulting in a sloped gap in the middle. If you're sleeping three to a bed (with a child) or as a couple cuddling, someone will end up in that gap. I slept like that for all six nights and woke up with a sore back. This is the biggest drawback of this hotel, and I wouldn't recommend it if this is a critical factor for you. 2. The bed linen and towels often look worn out (not pristine white). 3. The doors (entrance, bathroom) have sagged. There's a finger-width gap between the door and the frame. This means all the mosquitoes will be in your room. 4. There's no ventilation in the room at all. The only window is fixed shut. So, to get fresh air into the room, you have to live with the door open. 5. The family deluxe bungalows are separated from the road by a wall. You sit on your veranda and stare at this wall. It feels like being in a concrete box. If they put some ivy on it, the view would be much better. 6. The breakfasts are average; there's room for improvement. There's no variety. The croissants are dense and cottony, and the muffins are heavy. There's no choice for children at all – they should add waffles and pancakes to the menu. The omelet, however, is tasty. 7. The bungalows are clustered together, with little privacy between them. 8. They don't set up tables on the sand (on the beach) in the evenings – it would have been nice to have that for a romantic dinner. 9. The hotel lacks Thai soulfulness in its decor and small details. Pros: 1. Well-maintained green grounds. The gardener does a great job. 2. Good room cleaning. 3. The hotel grounds are clean. 4. Good beach. Good sun loungers (though some are already torn at the feet and breaking down). 5. Beautiful restaurant (veranda area). 6. The family deluxe bungalow is spacious (we stayed with an 11-year-old child and it was comfortable). 7. The bungalow is very bright, with many good light sources. 8. Good service at reception. 9. They congratulated me with a cake for my birthday – a nice touch."

"The Hostel Samui was really great. The reception worker was extremely nice and I felt so welcome! I was a little sceptical at first because the hostel had very few reviews, but that’s because it’s still really new (opened up about 2/3 months ago). So don’t be scared to book it! You get a towel from the reception which was really nice and the rooms are really clean. For me personally the location was great, in the Main Street but like 4 min walk to get to the “life of the city”. Therefore you don’t hear any of the loud music from the bars/ clubs, which go on really late in the night. You could controll the aircon in the rooms yourself, which is alsways helpful. There were two bathrooms (both one toilet and one shower) for 10 people which was more than enough. Also outside on the balcony there was a really nice chill area with a fan, where you could either meet other people or just chill by yourself (but would really recommend using mosquito repellent, there a sooo many of them since there are threes around the balcony). Not the most social hostel, but if you’re not that much into partying (or just like your sleep :D) I can highly recommend booking this hostel!"

"The hotel is just a few meters away from the beach. We had the balcony with no sea view and still got to see the ocean. It was beautiful would definitely stay here again. Although I would recommend to air out the room first as we dealt with humidity smell for the first two nights."

"I stayed for one night before my flight – everything was excellent for the price, 2000₽ a night during peak season!!! I ended up here by chance when another hotel was fully booked. The room is cozy and has everything you need. The air conditioning is great, there's a fridge, and the bed is very comfortable. Hot water and a shower are available. The only downside is the shower/toilet area, which is a bit old-fashioned. They even gave me a free breakfast in the morning – I was planning to order from their cafe, but they brought it out for free. Check-in and check-out were incredibly quick and easy, literally zero minutes! It's a great spot for a couple of nights' layover during a trip. However, it's not a resort hotel, even though Chaweng Beach is right across the street, just a two-minute walk through any of the beachfront hotels. Thais don't mind if you walk through even the most super luxurious hotel grounds – the beach is for everyone, and it's beautiful."
