First Residence Hotel

Great location on the quieter side of Chewang, still with plenty of food, grocery, and massage options.

Our room has such an awful smell coming out of the drain.

The staff is great! They oponed the breakfast area 30 minutes earlier upon our request multiple times. When we didnt come to breakfast at around 10:00 the knoked on our doors and asked wheather we intend to come or not. The beds were comfortable, the AC was very good, nice balcony, clean toilet and bathroom. The hotel shares a private beach with additional two hotels, it was clean, beautiful and facilitised.

We stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks, during which the breakfast was nearly sufficient, the free wifi was awful - around 5 Mb/s. There is no elevator, total 3 floors. The pool is cold.

A very nice room with a wonderful view including the sea in the distance. We were fortunate to make use of a private beach within a 5-min walk from the hotel, one of the perks staying there. In fact a very nice spot when choosing Chaweng beach.Very friendly and attentive staff on a daily basis.

Great location, good value for money; staff very friendly

Nothing to comment on

Beatiful but older hotel not far away from hearth of Chaweng. You definitely need a motorbike

The hotel is next to main road, so you can hear all cars which are passing by, mainly when you are on the pool

Very poor

The photos are not accurate. Very old and unclean facilities

The room was clean, and had everything we needed. Good value for money.Sadly the water pressure on the 4th floor was low and had almost no hot water, which made the bathroom experience meh.The staff were very friendly and helpful.The location was suboptimal, as while it is close to the beach, there is no public beach access in the proximity of it. You need to walk 20+ min to get to the first public beach. This did not hinder our stay as we visited the nearby islands for day trips, but it was unexpected.

Personnel was very helpfull, however the hotel is outdated and requires urgent renovation. Hotel has access to private beach which is very important.

Outdated rooms, not really clean

Staff were amazing. Had room 209. Nice quiet room. Close to most things. Motorbike rental at hotel.

Large room with a balcony...good area it was at the quiet end of Chewang but close enough to get to where the action is easily. Close to lots of shops and restaurants. Easy to get to main road if you want to go on driving trips to La mai or the fisherman village or example.

No lift - it didn't bother me but it could be a problem for some

We only stayed for one night , as catching ferry early morning. But no way could stay there longer than that.

In the middle of no where, right on busy road. Needs work doing on it. Sheets had terrible stains on them, and ripped duvet cover ! And they were off white !

Absolutely nothing. We paid for a ten day stay but paid for another Hotel stay the next day.

Stayed in the Hotel around 2010 when it was new. Unfortunately it has not been maintained since then. It was awful, dirty rooms, dirty linen, old towels. Cigarette butt's in the swimming pool along with rusty nails. Do not book this hotel under any circumstances.

Staff did what they could to try and make it comfortable

Beds too hard out dated rooms, needs updating

Small hotel in good location at the end of the Beach road in Chaweng..quite location in comparison to the far end but still lots of restaurants and bars to choose from.

Hotel was starting to look at bit tired.

Bad

we ended up moving to another hostel as this one was not good. the bathroom was disgusting, the pool had construction on it so seemed unusable. the room was not pleasant and it was super far out from anything!

Staff were so friendly, the room was clean and tidy made up every day. Great location

水力大?有露台不错

露台dirty...叫人清理?

Clean, quiet location, the room is big enough.

Really bad mattress, pillows to high, and all lights in the room are depressing white.

Both me and my fellow travelers got a room facing away from the road, as I requested during the booking process. The breakfast was sufficient, although not fancy. A bit limited, but the food that was served, held high quality and tasted good. The beds in the room were also fairly good. Good and responsive service from the front desk when we needed anything.

Koh Samui in general is, in my honest opinion, a crowded and not so charming destination - and staying at the Chaweng Beach makes it even worse. The hotel is located next to the Suan Uthit Road, resulting to al lot of noise in the pool area during most of the day. I would assume that the road facing towards the road would be rather noisy as well. My room was clean enough, but my travel accompanies room was dirty (bathtub, hair on the floor and dead insects). That said, the hotel staff cleaned it up immediately after we noticed them about the issue.

Good location, rooms are a good size and have a bath. Nice balcony with room also.

No lift
