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.

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!

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 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.

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!

The hotel's location was great. Shops, cafes, and Central Samui shopping mall are all within easy walking distance. However, the rooms are in need of an update, especially the bathroom facilities. We stayed in two adjacent rooms, and in one of them, the water was only lukewarm. Currently (in August), this particular spot on Chaweng Beach experiences a very noticeable low tide. You can walk about 150-200 meters to the right for deeper water.

Excellent hotel right on the beach. The furniture is a bit dated and there aren't many sun loungers, but everything else is great, and the staff are friendly. The room has a gorgeous view, and the grounds are beautiful. There are plenty of cafes nearby, it's a 20-minute walk to the night market, and there are laundromats and a 7/11 close by. The entry into the water from the beach is comfortable, and the beach itself is clean and uncrowded. Breakfasts are decent; not much variety, but there's enough to choose from (different types of eggs, fruit, toast – but no porridge, cheese, and the sausages are spicy). In the room, there's not much light (just one light in the hallway and bedside lamps), and there aren't many power outlets, none near the bed. Housekeeping is daily. They don't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste. The towels are a bit thin but not a big deal. The hotel is consistent with a 3-star rating.

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 hotel for this price. Big minus is that they don't have safeboxes even at the reception Yea, and a very(!) slippy floor. The beach is rocky and if you want to swim you should take a small walk along the water.

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!
