Chaweng Park Place

Expectation/Reality: The hotel is past its prime, but the room itself was perfectly adequate. The power outlets are finicky and the wifi is better is some places than others. Security: very secure, there's a key and a safe in the room, and 24/7 security at the front door. Hygiene: Great, the furniture is old, but the cleaning ladies are diligent and do a great job and come consistently. Hospitality: Very good, the check in process and overall experience with staff was terrific. Social Atmosphere: None really, perhaps by the pool. Overall: Its expensive for Thailand because its Koh Samui, but the location is really good. BEWARE you can hear airplanes fly over head, but with earplugs its a non issue. The cafe on the ground floor is really good to do some work and with good wifi.

The hotel is nice enough. Cheap but cheerful! Great massage place and hairdresser directly below!

I was unsure at first. I read all the reviews and it sounded good. My main attraction was the pool picture on their advert. Also the thought of it near the beach (Not quite but near enough once I found my bearing about 10/15 mins walk) When I arrived I though this hotel looked basic. I was lucky enough to be given one of the rooms on the second floor on the right as it’s away from the main road and also with a view of the greenery. The room is dated but you get for what you paid for. Let’s face it, it’s not 5 star rather 3 star rating. For me it’s value for money. Great location. Quiet from where my room is located in the building. Friendly enough staff. I didn’t use the pool even though it was what I attracted to in the first place. What’s key is location and budget friendly.
