Great place to stay. The lady who runs the hotel is excellent and very friendly. Her name is Nam (hope spelling is correct) and her english is very good which really helps with going places and booking tours. Would definitely stay here again. She booked the Diamond tour which was great. The tour took us all around the island and we made numerous stops for snorkling. It was 850 baht and was well worth the price. The even allowed us to jump off the top deck of the boat.

Kleines Gasthaus in der Nähe des piers. Einrichtung und Sauberkeit für den Preis völlig in Ordnung lediglich der Boden hat Blessuren aber die kann man ja schlecht weg putzen 😀 Bett war gemütlich und die Mitarbeiterin war freundlich und hilfsbereit wir haben unsere weiterfahrt über das Gasthaus gebucht 🙂 Wir würden wieder kommen

Good non-touristy location, awesome wifi, TOO HOT!

Sarin house was mostly clean (most places are less clean than American standards, so it is hard to judge cleanliness and condition for properties, but it didn't feel dirty - stains on sheets and towels, dust and hair left in certain places, but overall a fine place to sleep). It also had amazing wifi - some of the best in SEA - and very close to the pier area. Great restaurants and bars within walking distance and a bit off the tourist path (esp compared to Sairee beach) so you won't have to worry about being kept up by parties. Biggest issue we had with this place is OMG IT WAS SO HOT. It was literally hotter inside than outside. We originally booked it with just a fan because we found ourselves too cold at night with the AC in our previous accommodation, but we even paid extra to get the AC. If it had worked, that would have been wonderful, but it didn't. Luckily the owner was nice and gave us our money back for it after she tried and couldn't fix it, but we were still stuck in that super hot room. This place taught us the lesson to book one night, see how the place is in real life, and book more nights from them! Overall, I can't recommend room #1 here, but good location, awesome wifi, and very nice and helpful owner.

Basic guesthouse dichtbij ferry pier van Koh Tao

Dit is een basic guesthouse, op wandelafstand van de ferry pier van Koh Tao. Onze kamer was basic ingericht, maar wel proper. De matras was erg hard, zoals bijna overal in Thailand. Onze kamer had airconditioning, die wel zijn nut bewees. De douche bevindt zich vlak langs het toilet in dezelfde ruimte, waardoor de ganse vloer nat wordt. De eigenaars van dit guesthouse zijn erg vriendelijk.

I can rewally recommeneld this accommodation. Some very nice bars and restaurants, and also a 7eleven is very close ! Thank you very much!

Good Location & Price

Very nice hotel close to the pier wher the ferries arrive.  You can walk to the hotel upon arrival.  The hotel room is basic but has everything you require.  House keeping for the room is carried out every second day.  The lady who runs the hotel is very friendly and really looks after her guests (should have got her name).  She booked a Muay Thai training session and a Snorkling tour for me.  With both of these adventures the transportation from the hotel was included.  Her English is very good and I told her that she should give island tours. The only thing which I would have liked to see in the room was a little table beside the bed and some place I could hang my clothes with hangers.  It was a pain to get out of bed when my alarm went off. This hotel is in a convenient location and provides the basics for you to enjoy your stay.

Great Assistance and Service from Jan

Though basic and small by some standards, this guest house delivered on its promises. Facilities- air con, hot water, & Wifi wake worked reliably. Bright lime " and tangerine exterior made the place easy to locate. Being away from to main road meant it was quieter than many. Jan, who runs the guest house is a great asset to the place. She had my booking ready and took the time to sit down and go through highlights and options, on the map. Though Jan did offer to make me coffee, it \ would have been good to have tea/ coffee making facilities in rooms, on accessible 24x7.

hôtel proche du ponton

jolie façade, accueil très cordial et sympathique après ça se gâte. pas de TV ou de coffre-fort comme annoncé pourtant. literie dure comme du bois, ameublement spartiate (une table et une chaise), pas de prise de courant près du lit. fenêtre qui donne sur l'arrière cour mi-décharge mi-poulailler (réveil à 5 h par le cocorico, prévoir bouchons d'oreille)... bref pas cher mais on a changé d'hôtel pour la suite du séjour.

Kleines gutes Hotel mit gutem Service

Kleines Hotel, mit sehr netter Hoteldame! Sehr zu empfehlen, das Zimmer wurde alle 2 Tage gereinigt. Wir hatten eine Aircon und einen Ventilator. Wir waren 5 Tage dort und hatten nach 2 Tagen davon verlängert weil das Prei Leistungsverhältniss gepasst hat. Nach 3 Tagen hat das Bad etwas gemüffelt, hat halt nur eine Belüftung und kein Fenster. Für die weitere Reise ( nach Bangkok ) hat sich die Hoteldame gekümmert und alles für uns gebucht. Fähre und Nachtzug.
