8/10 Very good

The hotel location is great if you want to stay in Karon but car parking very limited. The staff were all very pleasant and the room quite good. There was a lot of sand on the floor of the bedroom which is not so nice. One of the curtains was hanging down which I repaired and then it was ok. The hotel was good for the price.

Well priced comfortable stay in Karon
Comfortable place stay with out many frills and reasonably priced. Centrally located and very close to the beach. Did not find the staff very friendly, however they attended to requests efficiently. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Had a large pool that I did not use as I preferred to swim in the sea. I would exclude the breakfast in the booking as it was not great and there are plenty of cafes nearby for breakfast

2/10 Poor

Close to the beach, gross hotel
This hotel is close to the beach but it is not a resort by any means. We had a late arrival and our room was guaranteed which was nice. However, upon arrival the employee at the desk barley talked, mostly grunted. We asked him about a few services the hotel offered and he said they didn't offer it yet there was posters advertising these services around the hotel. Our double bed was two twins pushed together. Over everything the thing that I was most annoyed with was the dirty bedding. One pillow had an obvious blood stain and the sheets had yellow brownish stains. The towels were also old and stained. I had to ask the employee at the front desk for new sheets (I offered to change them myself) and he just moaned and insisted that they were just changed. To his benefit he changed the bedding (I helped) but had the worst attitude from the very beginning.

2/10 Poor

big failure
the hotel has an awesome location as it is 3 min away from the beach besides that this hotel needs A LOT of improvement. Our air conditioner didn't work since they gave us the room. the cealing of the room was full of filtrations and the shower didn't drained and as no body speaks english it was mission impossible to have someone to fix it instead we used twizzers to take the bathtub plugged and be able to shower. Beds in thailand are usually hard but the pillows were more like rocks. They never cleaned the bathroom hardly they did the bed. Most of the times we also had to ask them to clean the room because they would usually not do it. There is a HUGE rat that seems to live in the lobby!! and you can see it crossing from the lobby to where the fountains are multiple times in the day. I don't know how are the other rooms but we never had interner in the room. The only area were the wifi works is at the lobby.

Great location and staff
Really nice place to stay. Perfect location, near the beach, shops, bars. Staff amazing and friendly. Pool is great. Breakfast was very good, though a little more variety would be welcome. Halfway through a relaxing holiday and have extended my stay here due to location, staff, price, pool and just being in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

6/10 Good

Excellent location is the only real plus
Location is close to the beach and to restaurants and nightlife. Most rooms face the pool and nightlife noise is not a significant issue for those rooms. Rooms and beds were just OK. First 3 of 5 days no wifi. The whole Soi was out. Once back on it was OK sometimes and impossibly slow others. Included breakfast follows the normal routine but quite low in terms of quality and variety. When I was there it was sunny every morning and cloudy/raining in the afternoons. As a result I went to the beach every morning and came back to the hotel each afternoon. Each morning I put out the sign asking for the room to be made. Each day housekeeping showed up about 2:30 PM wanting to make up the room. Needless to say it did not happen. Room for improvement to say the least.

Great location near the beach and restaurants. Happy friendly staff. Breakfast was a surprise as you never knew what would turn up. Lasagne or Mc cheese. The only thing I will say is breakfast is until 10.30am but if you turn up after 9am the food isn't always replenished.
