Excellent hotel, in the heart of chweng beach road, but you wouldnt know it once you were inside. Stayed in a hidden pool villa, which was amazing. Restaurant/Bar very good. Small beach and two pools which were also excellent.

Pretty red pool. Great food and drinks. The surrounding areas are a bit tired and dirty. Rooms are a clean with a fresh style. Worth a stay if you want something a little less Thai like. This is more European vibe.

4th time staying here so that gives an indication of what I think. Rooms are large and clean and going undergoing some minor refitting. Staff are incredible, very friendly and helpful and even remembered things from my last stay. Beach is amazing too. Great for couples. Not so much for families. Can’t recommend more!

Whilst the library hotel presents itself to the visitors as a minimalist themed location I must be honest. The hotel is in need of a facelift it’s shabby. My room was clean but stained curtains and textiles. One toilet broken just not what it says. I paid £8760 for my stay very expensive. I asked a prospective doctorate student to have dinner to discuss her proposed research topic. The reception staff would not let her into the hotel unless I paid 3000 baht. She was insulted as was I. They took her to be a prostitute. The decking on the main walkway to the rooms is in a bad state of repair and dangerous. Never again I have always seen Expedia as a good company but after this I don’t think so would use them again. Bad show all round!
