Nice pool and nice staff.

Prima verblijf
Pros:

Het zwembad was heel fijn om thuis te komen

Cons:

De stoelen op het balkon vielen tegen, had een kussen op gemogen, maar verder kan ik niet echt iets verzinnen.

Stayed here for the third time!
Pros:

Booked this the first time I was in Koh Tao and always booked it again ever since! You feel right at home, the rooms are spacious, modern and clean and the pool area is perfect! I love that you're in walking distance to Sairee Beach and city center but still you're away from the crowds and noises. Rooms are very calm (except the animals around haha) and staff is very nice. I already recommended this hotel to many of my friends and they loved it, too!

Cons:

I was very sad when I saw the price increase, last time I booked it was 2023 (3 years ago) and I paid less than half of the price.. I know everything gets more pricey but If they increase the price even more and don't give more service (like breakfast, free shuttle etc.) I won't stay there anymore. Also the gym and pool closes quite early (9 pm) and sometimes they closed it even earlier when they saw that no one's in the gym - this gives away some flexibility. Also the restaurant closes very early (6pm)

Pros:

Lovely place to stay if you want a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. Only a 10 minute walk down to the restaurants, bars and beach.
Our room was lovely and spacious and clean. Good A/C and great shower with plenty of hot water.
The swimming pool was beautiful, mainly quiet too.
Staff were very pleasant and friendly.
No breakfast option but they do have a very good little restaurant which does lots of breakfast and food options.

Cons:

Nothing it was a perfect place to stay.

Buen hotel en zona tranquila
Pros:

Muy bien ubicado, a distancia muy cercana en moto de todo y andando a una distancia prudente, se puede ir a todos lados a pie, aunque no es muy cómodo por la temperatura y las cuestas. El hotel está situado en una zona muy tranquila, que no viene nada mal para descansar del alboroto del centro del pueblo. La piscina está muy bien, el gimnasio bastante deficiente, aunque cumple con lo básico. En general buen sitio.

Cons:

Las cortinas de la habitación olían tan mal que de tocarlas se quedaba el olor impregnado en la mano. Parecía que las hubieran lavado y colgado sin secar y el olor se quedaba en la habitación, haciendo que oliera muy mal en algunas ocasiones.

Det låg lite utanför city så det var skönt

Cons:

Poolen var grön när vi kom dit men dom rengjorde den efter några dagar, inte så bra ljus i badrummet och det verkade lite slitet. Bytte inte sängkläder på en hel vecka
