3-Star Hotels in Koh Samui

The room and bathroom are spacious. The room facilities are complete. The disadvantage is that there is very little parking. It is difficult to park a car. The guards at night do not help to direct cars as much as they should. The restaurant closes very early. It closes after 7 PM. But the breakfast is delicious. There is no common phone in the room.

We stayed 9 nights in this excellent picture perfect beachfront paradise!! Our bright and airy cottage was right next to the sparkling clean pool and overlooking the beach. Our room was was spotlessly clean, with a huge comfy bed with new clean sheets, a large bathroom with good hot water. Lovely to sit out on our deck overlooking the pool and ocean. Breakfast was served overlooking the beach and was awesome!! The buffet, included Thai food such as sweet and sour pork, chicken and cashews, noodles, fried rice- they changed everyday. Everyday there was also an egg station, bacon, sausages, salad, fresh fruit , croissants, juices and a coffee machine. The restaurant is open all day and the staff set up tables on the beach for dinner - delicious food. All the staff are friendly and welcoming!! Perfect quiet location on Lamai beach - walk 2 or 3 minutes along the sand to the walking bridge and you are at the Night Market and busy Lamai town. There is also a 7 11 right next door. Tesco down the road and a Makro another few kms further. Highly recommend… we are staying again next year

I stayed at this hotel for several nights after booking online. The front desk service at Wangyue was great. The entire check-in process was very convenient with facial recognition, or you could use a room card, which shows how smart this hotel is. The room facilities and equipment are complete. You can look for Fang Fang when booking a room!

I stayed at Arkbar for 2 nights and unfortunately, it was a very mixed experience. The positives: The location is definitely great—right on the beach and close to everything in Koh Samui. Check-in was quick and easy. The facilities, especially the pool and beach area, are nice and lively during the day. The negatives (and they outweigh the positives): Noise: Sleeping here is nearly impossible unless you’re planning to be out partying all night yourself. It’s not just the music (which I expected), but the guests—people shouting in the hallways at 3am and again at 6am, waking me up both nights. Cleanliness: Honestly unacceptable. The bed sheets were stained, had hairs, and even bugs. The bathroom was filthy—handprints on the mirror, used cotton buds on the floor, and grime in the shower. I called to have it cleaned, but they only changed the bed sheets. Customer Service: When I told the manager about the room at checkout, her response was just “sorry, no one told me,” which doesn’t really cut it. Only after I mentioned leaving a review did she offer a “free breakfast voucher”—which was a joke, as it didn’t even cover a full meal and drink. Restaurant: Speaking of food, I tried the avocado toast with poached eggs and it was the blandest thing I’ve ever tasted. Overpriced, underwhelming, and disappointing overall. No discounts for guests at their own bar or restaurant either, which felt stingy considering the prices and what you get for it. For the amount of money I paid, this was absolutely not good enough. Unless you only care about partying and don’t plan to sleep or care about cleanliness, I’d recommend staying elsewhere. Would not recommend.

The hotel is small and cozy. The staff is very polite and helpful. We had a Thai-style villa, which was excellent with a view of the pool. It had a terrace where you could sit and admire the nature, and the grounds were very green. The breakfasts were good. The sea during the season is calm and very warm, with sandy shores and a shallow entry.

I am delighted! Nice, cozy place. The staff is super polite, like in a luxury hotel. There is a swimming pool. The room was very comfortable, smelled nice. The only thing was that there was an unpleasant strange smell in the bathroom. And maybe the room could be painted a little. And I was a little upset that they changed the roofs, they are not like in the photo in the description, I really like this natural design. There is a refrigerator, umbrella, water, air conditioning. The beach is not far away. I was very pleased. I recommend!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would definitely come back again. The hotel has a large territory with a nice swimming pool, sun loungers, and a bar where you can relax during the day. There is plenty of parking, including a second parking area with access from the street behind the hotel. A laundry is located right next to the hotel, and across the road there's a Super Cheap supermarket where you can buy groceries, drinks, alcohol, and other essentials at lower prices than in most other supermarkets. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The Wi-Fi was fast (I've attached a speed test screenshot). The staff were very friendly and always helpful. Housekeeping came every day, replacing towels, bed linen, and complimentary bottled water. The hotel also has a small gym on the second floor with a bench press, dumbbells up to 20 kg, and a treadmill. The only downside is that the gym has low ceilings, so exercises like overhead presses or handstands aren't really possible. Overall, I had a great experience here. Everything was well maintained, the service was excellent, and I definitely recommend this hotel. I plan to stay here again on my next visit.

I enjoyed my stay here. Staff was helpful and attentive and room was nice and clean. I recommend to any traveller

The bedroom was next to the road and very noisy, even at night. The door leading to the small terrace was thin and not soundproof. The reception refused my request for a room change.

Good morning! I'm staying at this hotel from February 2nd to February 8th. The location is simply superb! 👌 Breakfasts are standard, and there's a 7-Eleven nearby if you need coffee or sandwiches. However, the hotel itself is completely rundown!!! The bedding and towels are in terrible condition! If you appreciate comfort, then this is definitely not the place for you. All the plumbing is broken, and the water in the shower doesn't drain!
