Excellent value for money. Rooms are large and clean. Always good working air conditioner and water heater. Quiet location, but to the center of night life in just 10 minutes on foot. Near shops, cafes and laundries. Near to the beach, the sea beautiful but not deep. A stable Wi-Fi signal. At the bar a wide selection of drinks and... More

We headed over to Koh Samui when the weather in Phuket took a bad turn so we just booked something quite quick without looking too much into it and glad we did! We arrived to a warm welcome to Le Chablis. The room was great size for three people and the beach was just behind the hotel. It shared it's... More

Dear SSAALL, as I can see you stayed at Le Chablis in March 2011. And we took this place in April 2011. I'm happy you liked the hotel, the pub and the previous management. And we're doing our best to keep this place comfortable and friendly. So we hope we'll see you in the future and you will have the... More

It's wonderful place to stay for simple yet happy beach holidays. The room is very clean, and has everything I need, like fridge, kettle, ceiling fan, warm shower mosquito nets, and lovely balcony with chairs and hammock. The resort itself doesn't face the beach, but thanks to next door Chalala Resort to allow us to pass through, it's just a... More

I was to check in for a 3 night stay but left after 2 hours. It's admittedly not even a 3 star place. However when doors don't close securely to the outside and it looks like someone took to the door frame to the outside balcony with a shredder... As a single female traveler I decided to ask if I...

We’re really sorry for the broken balcony door. As you’ve noticed we were fully booked and had no chance to change the room for you. For the same reason of the fully booking we didn’t notice that problem. The guests who checked out just before you had broken the door trying to open the balcony with all the power they... More

It's a great location on the north end of Chaweng beach away from the busy, noisy area. The staff was very friendly and helpful with directions, recommendations, and setting up tours. You can access the beach by a short walk through the hotel next door.

We had a horrible experience with the place. It first started with tring to find it; absolutely nobody knew where it was or had heard of it, even the cab drivers.

But why didn’t you mention the fact that you were told as well that we’re the small hotel and the taxi drivers sometimes even doesn’t know where the 5-star resorts are located. For this reasonother guests give the hotel phone number... More

We have just arrived home after spending a week here, we found the rooms and service extremely good value for money. The owners and staff very helpful with any questions and advise. Location is ideal for Cheweng Beach, as it is far enough from the noisy centre and yet only 2 minutes from the beach. Would definitely recommend this to... More
