Cheap Hotels in Koh Samui

"The hotel is clean, despite of its old-fashioned look. The room is comfortable (but outside noise comes in easily). The only downside is I gotthe room on building 3 and there's no lift in the building and my room was on the 4th fl. So I needed to carry my luggage up all the way by myself. If you would like to book and have big luggages, you may need to reconsider (or request for the lower floor.) I'm not sure whether there is a lift available in its other buildings."

"This hotel/resort was truly amazing. The view is unbeatable and the pool is amazing. You also get beach access (2min walk) and is a quite beach. You are around 15-18 minutes away from chewang area which makes it a perfect balance if you are looking for peace but also don’t want to be super far from the main things in the island. The room itself was amazing. We had an awesome sea view and the bed was nice. For the price, it was a reasonable room size and great amenities. The breakfast is the one thing I would say it’s less enjoyable. It was normal, nothing wow. The staff were nice and always willing to help with a big smile."

"The room was clean and tidy, and there's a swimming pool downstairs. It's about a 300-meter walk to the beach, and you'll pass a 7-Eleven-like convenience store on the way. Head north and you'll find a lively street with a night market in the evenings. For Koh Samui, this hotel offers incredible value for money."

"Stayed here for 3 nights and loved it! My partner and I booked just a standard double room with private bathroom. The room is small but we still could have our bags out so it didn’t bother us. Big window so room was really bright which we loved and probably made it feel bigger! Really good AC, wifi and shower too. We were on 4th floor (top floor) and there’s no lift so keep in mind. There’s a 7-eleven right next to hostel so that was handy too. Super central location, motorbike parking in front of hostel and there’s also taxis driving past constantly! Would highly recommend!"

"Excellent hotel in the heart of Chaweng! The location is super convenient – Central Festival, shops, cafes, restaurants, and the beach are all nearby. For the price, it's one of the best options on Samui. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable. A big bonus is being able to use the secure parking at Central Festival, which is really handy if you're traveling by car or scooter. There's a good co-working space for getting work done, an on-site cafe, and a swimming pool. The vibe is modern and youthful. The only downside I can mention is the absence of a toothbrush and toothpaste in the room, which even more budget-friendly hotels usually provide. Otherwise, everything is great. Excellent value for money, quality, and location. I would gladly stay here again!"

"Gorgeous views and a very green, well-maintained territory. Cleaning is excellent. Linens and towels are changed daily. The room is very clean. Breakfasts are fantastic. They prepare different types of eggs, pancakes, and offer cheese, cured sausage, vegetables, greens, ready-made dishes, and lots of fruit. The coffee is bad, but that's the only downside of the breakfasts. It's great to sunbathe by the pool; there are comfortable sun loungers, and you can order drinks and food. The music is pleasant and not too loud. The pool water temperature and showers are nice. Massages are slightly more expensive than elsewhere, literally by only 200 baht. CONS. 1. You can't take more than 1 towel at the pool. This is absolute nonsense. One towel isn't enough to cover the whole sun lounger, and it's impossible to touch the scorching hot faux leather. Just buy more towels; you're washing them anyway. What's the problem with one more or two? I really don't see the issue! 2. Internet. It didn't work at all in our room. There are apps and YouTube on the TV, but you can't watch movies because there's no internet, even though they give you the Wi-Fi password. It only works in the restaurant and by the pool. 3. The staff is excellent, EXCEPT for the older man with glasses by the pool (photo attached). He constantly has a sour face as if everyone owes him something. Disgusting. Unfriendly. Customer service is ZERO. He needs to be retired with that attitude! 4. The sea. It's non-existent. It's a quarry. Take a 3-minute ride to Chaweng, that's where the beach is. White, fine sand, turquoise water. Here, it's yellow, coarse sand, all rocks; you can't swim without a mask. Even getting in is difficult. So, if you love swimming in beautiful water, this isn't the place. And if you use a mask, which they provide for free here, it's not Zanzibar or the Maldives; it's not that beautiful, and there's not much to see. 5. Flies in the restaurant! This is absolutely horrific. There are 5-8 of them flying over your plates. And don't tell me it can't be dealt with. I refuse to believe that a guest in a 5-star hotel should sit swatting flies. Put some small repellents on the tables. They cost pennies, but they solve the problem. 6. The air conditioning in the room roars like a plane taking off. It's impossible to adjust it properly. It has no quiet mode. Replace this old thing with new ones; it's not that expensive either. 7. Near the building where our room 406 was, there's a smoking area for staff. We have to walk past this spot every day, and it's dirty, with trash everywhere, as if it's not hotel property but a backyard in a village. 8. Water temperature fluctuations in the shower. There are only two options: scalding hot or freezing cold. It's impossible to get a medium temperature."

"The location is really great, walking distance to the beach and plenty of nearby places to eat. The hotel itself serves as a good base, provides all of the essentials. The room size is decent and clean. I did find the breakfast assortment to be a little basic and some of the dishes and cutlery didnt feel the cleanest. But overall I enjoyed the stay and added a few extra nights due to the great location."

"Excellent value for money, and the view is absolutely stunning! The staff are lovely, and the air conditioning is wonderfully cool. I'll definitely be back!"

"Nantra Chaweng Hotel has an excellent location, across the street is the entrance to Chaweng Beach. There are many shops, and restaurants offering good food within a few minutes walk of the hotel. The busy centre of Chaweng with the Central Samui Mall and numerous lively bars and clubs is a short drive or 15 minutes walk. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with a small but good bathroom and comfy bed. The hotel staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, helping with booking onward travel and trips. Excellent value for money and an enjoyable stay."
