"Great location 10 minite walk from the pier. Place is very modern and is very clean. Great dorm rooms where I stayed 2 nights. Then moved to a double bed room when a friend came for 1 night same again spotless and very modern. So what you see is what you get in the photos. Staff polit, 2 minute walk you got the main street on the Island with restraunts bars 7/11 then a 10 minute walk further down you got a run of the beach front for restraunts and bars. So over all I would give this a great review and great place to stay. Great value for money. "

"We were a little reluctant to book this hotel, as at the time, there were no reviews, but as it was a new hotel, we gave it a shot. It is located on the main road from the pier a short 2-3 min walk away, location wise it was perfect, a short 15 min walk to the main beach. The room we had was small, but clean. There was some traffic noise which could be heard in the room, but not loud enough to be a bother, and after around 9pm the streets are fairly quiet. There are no bars nearby, so loud music isn't an issue. The rooms were clean, equipped with a small fridge, Air-conditioner and shower/toilet. I'm our opinion this is the best hotel in this area of Samet, other hotels look dodgy or run-down. Check-in/out was a breeze, and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Hotel is still undergoing constuction, with more facilities to be added in the future."

"We stayed here for one night only, but we loved the place. Our room was clean and spacious with a cute bathroom. The only negative aspect might be the sheets, as we‘re not sure if they were really washed. But I guess you will make this same experience whereever you go. Wifi worked perfectly. The ventilator in the room was nice - better than other ones we had before. One big plus is the fact, that geckos and mosqitoes are kept outside of the room. At last one might need to know that the guesthouse is not located within the nationalpark, so you have to pay 200THB as a foreigner to get to the beaches. I would recommend to rent a motorbike to explore the island. "

"For a two star hotel, I would rate it higher than 5.5...maybe 7.5. Place was clean and location central. Bathroom was difficult--door opened in and made doing anything a challenge. Shower was good. Could not get TV to work, but no big deal as I didn't really need it. If you want a cheap room in central location and cleanliness is important, try this place. As an aside, I did not eat at the hotel, although I could have. However, I had to rate the food or could not submit this review. Agoda needs to change their survery!!"

"I took my wife here for our 2 year anniversary. We had our teething 6 month old with us as well. The location was awesome! 5 min walk from the boat dock, though far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful. The front wall of the room is fully glass, sliding door, which makes for amazing views of the ocean sunrise in the morning. The glass has a 1 way tint on it so you can see out but others can't see in, unless your light is on. The staff was really friendly and spoke English well. The morning we left I was even given a ride in a side car with my suitcase to the dock. Our son was pretty fussy with his teeth, yet the people in the room next to us, 2 rooms per bungalow, said they couldn't hear him. Only bad thing was the matress was bad. Very squeaky when you move at all and also if you leave the bathroom door open, Mosquitos will get in. The window in the bathroom doesn't have screen. There was also gecko in the room, but living in Thailand, we haven't found a place they can't get into. All in all I would recommend this to anyone. The city center is maybe a 10 min walk so you can enjoy that, then head back to the quiet of the hotel. "
