“If you want to be reasonably close to the beach this is a fair selection.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012 via mobile

The rooms are large. The staff is efficient, but not overly friendly. The location is close to the beach, but if you intend to dine or spend time in Karon or Kata, its a cab ride unless you really like to walk. Thisis not a memorable hotel. Its a place to sleep. There are far better choiçes at the price point including Simplitel in Karon.

The hotel which completely surrounds this hotel is catering to the cheap Russian tourist trade. This brings a set of problems particular to that sector of the tourist crowd. I am not a snob, but this crowd is running off the Euro travel trade and causing more than a few businesses to go under. Its sad to see. So be forewarned.

“Pristine Room, Super Friendly Staff, Excellent Rooftop Pool/Breakfast Buffet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

I really enjoyed staying here across from the beach. The Hotel was super modern which is not what I normally go for.

Highlights: rooftop pool perfect for evening dips and beach views, excellent breakfast buffet (I believe we were in the first group to experience it and it was excellently executed), and convenient to many massage places. Great staff.

Other pros: 15 min walk from the Pad Thai Shop (best Pad Thai in Thailand), the Massage place they recommend which is just two shops down from the entrance to the hotel is really nice and I received a handful of great massages (Plus they are open until midnight).

Feedback: Shower water seemed to go all over the bathroom which was kind of inconvenient.

“great value for money and very close to the beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Friendly, clean hotel that is very close to the beach. Great pool, with amazing sunset views. The pool could do with more shaded areas though. Rooms are clean but a little on the small side. For two people we could have done with a little more space. There could also be maybe at least one chair added to the room as we had to bring in the balcony chair, as there is no where to hang things; clothes would otherwise be on the floor.

Location is good for the beach, there are a few restaurants near by and the busier part of Karon is just a short walk away.

I travelled with a friend and I would recommend this hotel for those travelling on their own or with friends or couples.

The breakfasts varied everyday, so didn't get boring. I would stay here again.
