Enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our stay with Chaweng budget. Paying the budget price allowed us to access the pools and beach by the Chaweng cove resort. The hotel is conveniently located with 7/11 right across the street and numerous restaurants and massages places nearby. Front desk staff is very nice and helpful although the English is a little hard to understand at times. I would certainly come back again or recommend it to any of my friends.

Good for the price paid.
No one at front desk. Have to go to sister property across the street. Lower rate lower service. As expected. Room was clean, location great. WiFi was terrible here. Good place for a comfortable place to sleep and spend time outdoors.

Uncomfortable and dirty room!
Pros: Nice staffs! They are very service-minded! Good value as you can use chaweng cove's facilities. Cons: Our room was uncleaned (some dirty footprints on the floor, sticky floor) and the bedsheets was unchanged (the smell was really bad) so, we asked the staffs to clean it again. The bathroom was slippery and not quite clean. There was a fly in our room. It was very noisy at night with the sounds of bikes and cars passing by. Also, we heard lots of voices advertising at night until midnight. Bring your earplugs! Not 24-hour front desk! However, you can go to chaweng cove's front desk to ask for helps. All-in-all It was a good value hotel in an expensive area like chaweng. If you don't mind the cleanliness and comfortable, then it's a place for you. The staffs were very helpful.

Great stay at a budget price.
Overall we were pleased with our stay at this location and would do so again. Our room was at the rear of the property so was away from road noise. Bathrooms are getting a little tired but functional. All staff we encountered were extremely friendly and helpful from the desk to the security guard. The Budget side of the hotel is on the opposite side of the road to the Cove. A simple walk across the road to access the beach, restaurant and pool. The breakfast food was excellent quality and both plentiful and variable. The staff at the egg station performed an eggcellent job! Perfectly cooked every time. Opposite the hotel is a hairdresser and a 7-Eleven while next door is one of many massage shops. It did appear that sheets were not changed every day or that they were ironed and the ‘Guest Laundry Facility’ is actually a sent away service and does not mean there are washing machines or iron on premises. There are washing machines within a few meters of the hotel though.

Good value for money
Good place to stay, newly done building with nice furniture etc. You can use the Chaweng Cove facilities so it is a big plus as well as through the Cove access to pool and beach. Cleaning was lets say good, only sheets were not so clean time to time. Loundry is a bit of risk, very cheap but we had to sent it again for cleaning as they return half not touched by washmashine at all and lost one pcs of clothes. Breakfast good and overall good value for money.

excellent service & amenities for budget hotel
positives: location, nice, big clean room with comfy queen-sized bed. love the bathroom with turqoise tiles. generous toiletries provided, with towels, robes and slippers. plenty english tv channels. i arrived early but the reception let me checkin before 2 pm and gave me a welcome drink (score!!). location was good for dining, shops, massages etc. songtheaw stops right in front of the hotel, so very convenient and cheap to move around. hotel is located on a quieter end of Chaweng, but still plenty of things going on. i had problems with the wifi and a staff came all the way from the sister hotel across the road to my room and helped me. i asked for a late checkout and allowed, no hassles. despite being a budget hotel, it offers great amenities and service. would gladly return! thank you!! negatives: my room faced the street so noise from traffic and live music was inevitable. but the noise was drowned out when i turned on the a/c. if u're a light sleeper, ask for EVEN-numbered rooms which faces the back

Great hotel on the beach.
We booked the Chaweng budget hotel but when we arrived it was closed (probably beacuse it was the low season) and we were given a room in the main hotel, Chaweng Cove Resort. I cannot comment on the budget hotel rooms but the room we were given was very good. As far as I can see if you do stay in the budget section you still have use of all the main hotel facilities. The hotel is on a very good part of the beach that has deep clear water for swimming. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants in the main street behind.

The night life maybe a little further but a lot songhtews to travel with. Only problem were the big waves even in good weather.

spent one night here on my way to koh phangan. Hotel met my requirements at the price point and was satisfactory - i would recommend for a stopover at the $60 AUD price point however I would never consider it as a holiday destination.

Calidad/precio perfecto!
El hotel es de estilo moderno, con todo lo basico. Te permite utilizar las instalaciones (comedor para el desayuno, piscina, zona de la playa, hamacas...) del chaweng cove que esta cruzando la carretera, lo cual ew un gran plus. La playa esta muy bien, tranquila sin apenas olas. Enfrente del hotel hay un 7/11, puestos de souvenirs, farmacia, masajes.... muy bien situado. El desayuno muy bueno y el Milkshake de helado de coco INCREIBLE. El mejor de toda la isla!! Muy recomendable, sin duda repetiría.

Frühstück Buffet ist nicht zu empfehlen. Verstehe nich warum keine Cappuccino Maschine oder so aufgestellt wird. Der Kaffe ist mehr als schlecht. Semmeln kannst auch vergessen. Jeden Tag dasselbe! Die Stühle in den Zimmern gehören mit Filz ausgestattet. Bei denen verrutschen ist das ganze Hotel wach !!!

Would not recommend this hotel
The room was a bit outdated, especially the bathroom. It didn’t seem all that clean, there were a lot of flies in our bathroom and it just didnt look to clean. The water could sometimes not get cold og to a temperature where you could shower. Staff was almost never there and did not even help taking the luggage to the room - even though my boyfriend had just had surgery and because of this couldnt carry his own luggage. Bad service. The only good thing was that it was close to the beach.

Tolles Hotel!!!
Preisleistung stimmt! Sauberes Zimmer, täglich frische Hand- und Strandtücher, kein Schimmel, gutes Frühstücksbuffet und toller Strandabschnitt. Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Nachdem wir unser Zimmer bezogen haben, haben wir nach kurzer Zeit bemerkt dass an unsere Klimaanlage Wasser runtertropft. Innerhalb von ein paar Minuten nachdem wir an der Rezeption bescheid gegeben haben, wurde die Klimaanlage repariert und die lief wieder einwandfrei. Wir haben die Tickets für die Fähre im Hotel gebucht. Das ging sehr einfach und schnell. Das Personal an der Rezeption hat uns extra nach unserem nächsten Hotelaufenthalt auf Koh Phangan gefragt, damit sie für uns den besser gelegenen Hafen aussuchen konnten. Das war unser zweiter Aufenthalt in dem Hotel (der erste war 2016) und ich würde das Hotel immer wieder buchen. Ich kann es für den Preis und bei der Leistung die man dafür bekommt nur weiterempfehlen!
