Lovely Hotel and gorgeous rooms. The staff are beyond nice. They will bend backwards to please their guests and no request is too much. I broke my foot whilst staying at the Hotel and they were very helpful. The only thing that I would not rate very high is the food which was a shame as the Hotel itself is stunning.

Returning to The Library in Ko Samui for the second time was a very emotional experience for me. The first time I stayed here was with my fiancé and it had been one of the most special trips we ever shared. Sadly, he has since passed away, and coming back to a place full of these memories was both difficult and comforting. What made this stay truly special was the warmth of the team. The manager even recognized me again, which genuinely touched me and made me feel very welcome. The hotel itself is still exceptional. The rooms are perfectly maintained—clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The peaceful atmosphere by the pool and the pristine beach create the perfect place to relax without any pressure. Breakfast remains a highlight, with a fantastic à la carte selection and excellent quality. Coming back here helped me reconnect with meaningful memories and find a sense of peace. This place is truly special, and I’m very grateful I returned.

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!

This hotel is like staying in a modern art museum. All the spaces are extremely beautiful and the 2 red pools are stunning. The room is super modern all controlled by remote control and it was always super clean. The hotel staff was very helpful all the time. I really loved my stay here, you can really enjoy a peaceful stay in the middle of a busy street if that’s what you’re after, but also you can find anything you wish if you walk around in the beach or the street.

Really cool theme! I absolutely loved my stay here. I splurged and got one of the secret chapter rooms and it was totally worth it. Comfortable with tons of space. Thematic all the way through. Really nice pools and immediate access to a beautiful and immaculate beach. Staff went all out with service, providing snacks and showcasing that typical Thai-friendliness with all smiles. They made sure my shuttles arrived for my day trips and even provided a to-go breakfast when I checked out super early to leave for the airport. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!

In general this hotel is very nice. I like its concept of a library. Design is brilliant. Old trees contribute to the overall atmosphere of quietness and wisdom. But ocean at East coast is very wavy. I could not swim there. And in the morning there was a dead body on the shore. It somehow resonated with a quote on the window in my room “Life is short, live it now”

I want to write e fair review. Pros : Great location, friendly and helpful staff, very clean and neat rooms, everything looks handpicked and well designed at this hotel, 26 rooms so very quiet and peaceful, nice private beach and pool Cons : 1. The restaurant is overpriced 2. The way that they approach a problem is not very customer friendly, we had a water leakage in our first room and they offered us a free dinner ( a special menu not what u want ) and they gave us a room which was smaller and older. In the second room the hairdryer went on fire in my hand! And all they did was an apology. I think the management team has set limits for the crew so they cant do much
