Hotel is starting to look a bit tired especially the rooms. Boardwalks, facades and light fittings in exposed areas now need substantial work to prevent further deterioration - money which would be well spent to keep the property as it was presumably always intended? All reflects the build date (circa 15 years ago?), and possibly insufficient maintenance since. Hotel 'sells' the library/book reading throughout, but doesn't actually provide any purposed reading lights in the bedroom! Lighting around the vanity basin would also now be regarded as poor. Extensive paint peeling off shower walls! The old-fashioned keyed entry to rooms is a nice but old touch ....but a security failure given the room number is attached! Maybe a card entry should be considered for any future renovation - simpler, less cumbersome, and safer.

Well located, architecturally designed minimalist hotel right on the best part of Chaweng beach, but just out of the crazy central area. Friendly staff were universally always helpful. Thoroughly enjoyable stay. Inclusive breakfast is an extensive a la carte - but would have been nice to have had a sweet pastry on the menu somewhere for those of us who are no longer body conscious!

super nice private area. we really loved staying here. all the architecture etc.

Each room is a suite, containing a large bedroom plus a separate lounge area. The downside of the lounge areas is that they are configured part-indoor part-outdoor, meaning that they're not air-conditioned. The bedrooms are air-conditioned whereas the separate lounges aren't, which isn't ideal in a climate as hot and humid as Samui's.

"Chaweng" and "upmarket boutique hotel" aren't two concepts that go together naturally. But that's exactly what the Library is - a small, classy beachfront boutique hotel with large rooms and outstanding outdoor areas, located in central Chaweng.

Nothing major. At night we heard the sound of other party locations. Saturday and sunday some (6) elderly guests were inconsiderate about other guests by reserving the sunbeds with their towels and bags despite not being around. This, however, has nothing to do with the hotel but the rudeness of the guests. Maybe a policy could prevent such behavior?

Design, rooms, love to details, attentive staff, spacious pool area, good food.

Room rates can be on the expensive side, so look out for a good deal.

Really can't fault this place. It does what it promises and the 5 stars are appropriate.

Very well designed Very good food and facilities

Chewang has lost a lot of its charm, lots of empty shops but that is not the hotel's fault. If you are going to stay anywhere in the centre of Chewang this is the hotel

Great beach right in front of the hotel, they have stopped the jetskis from riding right out the front which is great. Busy beach but you can hideaway on your beanbags within the confines of the hotel 2 for 1 coctails between 5-7 Super restaurant Breakfast is a la carte which we loved as you knew the food was cooked to order. If you are going to stay anywhere in the centre of Chewang, this is the hotel to stay in. Rooms are modern and cool The pool is big, love the red tiles.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The Library was the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. Stunning architecture and design, very luxurious, quiet and uncrowded, and superb service by all the staff there. The facilities were excellent including the library, gym and restaurant. We stayed in the two bedroom secret pool villa and it was beautiful and private. Breakfasts were amazing and there was great variety.

Great location, service, room and food. The best “hotel” I have ever stayed at. It’s more like a small collection of modern flats.

When I didn't think it could get any better, I moved this time to the secret chapter rooms, and I was very impressed. The food was awesome, the rooms were spacious and great it was like my own little mansion. I would say here each time I come to the island. I love it here! everything is A+++++

The bar seem to close too early

The red pool

Rooms showing their age a bit but generally comfortable. Pathways to rooms could be better constructed.

Staff were warm, friendly and attentive. The pools were beautiful and right on the beach. Conveniently located

The library is still the best on Koh Samui

While the staff are great and happy to modify menu items to be vegan, it would be great if the Library updated its menu to just include 2-3 clearly marked vegan options.

Luxurious comfort, style and location. Favourite hotel in Thailand.

It definitely needs some makeup renewal, condition of the environment is pretty “tired”. The food is amazing on the looks but can’t state the same of the taste. And the last tip for the Content Team: it was a personal disappointment that a place called “The Library” doesn’t have a book-crossing initiative or an opportunity to buy-out the books.

Amazing design concept, especially the red pool, and overall aesthetics of minimalism. The beach front with comfortable sunbeds and friendly staff. Overall small details that make you feel this place is special.
