Whilst the library hotel presents itself to the visitors as a minimalist themed location I must be honest. The hotel is in need of a facelift it’s shabby. My room was clean but stained curtains and textiles. One toilet broken just not what it says. I paid £8760 for my stay very expensive. I asked a prospective doctorate student to have dinner to discuss her proposed research topic. The reception staff would not let her into the hotel unless I paid 3000 baht. She was insulted as was I. They took her to be a prostitute. The decking on the main walkway to the rooms is in a bad state of repair and dangerous. Never again I have always seen Expedia as a good company but after this I don’t think so would use them again. Bad show all round!

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

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!
