Samui First House Hotel  

We loved this hotel. We were only supposed to stay for two nights but kept going to other hotels and then leaving them to come back. The staff found this most amusing. The staff were great, the room was fab with air conditioning and confortable beds. The hotel is right on the beach but on the quieter side. Its far enough away from the centre to be quite but its only a short walk or tuk tuk drive to the lively centre. The pool was lovely. There are loads of places to eat right by the Hotel. We will be going back there next year.

Amazing staff and Manager!!! Best value for money and accompaning facilities Great location to travel, attractions and enjoing the Wild chaweng beach and sleeping on the quiet side GREAT Breakfast!!!! GO GO GO

We booked this hotel only because our friends stayed there and for those looking for a clean, comfortable room should look elsewhere. Although the room was visited by housekeeping daily, the floor was never mopped, just swepped, so had dust on it all the time and the bathroom had mould in the shower and around the sink. Breakfast was included with our room but was simplistic with some leftovers from dinner from the hotel restaurant. The beach is very close but if you're looking for a location by the beach, we saw some huts (I think they were called Samui First Bungalow) directly by the beach that looked much nicer. I would definitely not travel half way across the world to stay here again. There are much nicer places in Koh Samui to stay. Unless you're really on a budget.

As mentioned before, it exceeded my expectations and so was a pleasant surprise. Staff very cooperative and helpful.

Everything was fine except that one would expect them to pay a little more attention to the rooms. Water from the A/C was dripping in the room. Also and elevator would be of great help.

Been to samui 5 times, Just back from a week long stay at Samui First House, location is great, at the south end of Chewang main street, walk to all but away from it ! breakfast is good, some rooms are updated some are not, the main bldg has the not so nice rooms, the other bldg has the nicer rooms, good ac, poor tv and channels, no elevator - 4 floors, best private like beach - rent scooter or book trips right there, paid 1750bht a night including the breakfast - good value for your money in Samui - needs to improve but I will be back !

No elevator, some rooms need to be updated ! tv is very old and very poor cable chanels

Comfortable rooms. Close to restaurants and shops but not in the noisy end of town.

Nice pool area, helpful staff

Rooms are musty and smell damp

Nice big rooms and beach is very close by, about 1 minute walk through resort and you are on chaweng noi beach.

The location is too far away from central chaweng. We are young and have no problem walking to places but this was a good 30 minutes into the central area. We ended up getting a tuk tuk into chaweng central most evenings and hiring a motor bike to get around and into chaweng during the day. We stayed for 9 nights and found the cleaning not up to scratch. The surfaces were never wiped down and floors very poorly sweeped. We were there in Dec and the beach was extremely rough, red flags indicating 'not safe to swim' were up the entire time, saw people being knocked off their feet at ankle depth.

The staff were amazing!!!! My husband and I couldnt say enough good things. The food staff, the helpfulness, the courtesy, the housekeeping, everything was perfect. My husband used the gym which he enjoyed and the girls at reception could not do enough to ensure we had the best babymoon, which we did!!!

We loved everything, nothing neg about the hotel.

Easy access to shopping area & beach, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definately stay there again for my next visit .

Location,has private beach,not to big,food very good

We liked every thing

Absolute brilliant place to stay in Samui! Have been here before. Nearer to centre of Chaweng you will be kept awake by the disco beats, but in First house, which is around 15 min walk to centre, it is quiet and a beautiful beach. Staff is so friendly, rooms are great, both standards and superior. I paid only 1000 bath and it is so worth it.

The hotel was nice, value for money.

The hotel is closed to the beach but at the end of chaweng (south) and you must walk to find very clean water ! The booked room was good but not in the main building and our balcony overlooked the back.
