Adequate for my needs
Very basic hotel...nothing fancy Reception shared with neighbouring hotel made it difficult to get answers Wifi not working until last day became a nuisance Generally clean but in need of attention But I was rarely in the room so a shower and bed was all I needed and they were both generally very clean

We stayed in this hotel with a room each for £14. Good location, although staff couldn't have been any unhelpfuller. When staying make sure you book online!! They scammed us out of a few nights and made us pay extra. Have a record of all the nights you are staying!

Ok, but not great
While the hotel was fine, clean enough, I would not stay here again or recommend it. The hotel across the street is the same price and much better. Pros: Elevator Clean room 10 min walk from main street A/c Hot water Nice front desk staff Cons: Bathroom old and yucky shower Stains on sheets Out dated and tired looking Wifi didn't work even in lobby Location is in seedy go go bar area Conclusion: would not recommend or stay again

Laem Din Hotel
For 1 or 2 nights this hotel is perfectly fine, when considering the cost. It is walking distance to all of the main nightlife in Chaweng and you will not be bored. Like most places in Thailand, at times the wifi is spotty and AC could use a little more power, but that is the norm in this country unless you spend a little more cash. Again, dont expect the world for the low price that you are paying and youll be happy.

Close to Chaweng Beach
Getting there, initially I was dissapointed.. The bathroom shower looked like it had not been cleaned properly in a very long time.. I had to go to supermarket , buy cleaning products and clean it.. Mould and slime built up from a long time.. After cleaning the bathroom, my outside chair broke, with me sitting on it.. I only weigh 60 kilos.. My replacement chair then broke as well... Gave up on sitting on the outside chairs, the desk chair was used.. The room wasnt too bad though, and a nice little balcony, but alot of traffic outside, even thou its supposedly a small road.. lots of fireworks, explosions and god knows what outside at night.. But not as noisy as right on Chaweng Beach.. Once I had gotten used to the room and knew for sure it waws clean, it wasnt so bad.. Lots of sex workers type bars, a stones throw up the road.. Cant help but get the feeling the room has been used alot to entertain that.. eww.. If you are prepared to do some cleaning or alternatively, dont mind a bit of filth, then go right ahead... The house staff hardly speak any english at all.. Didnt seem to be any kind of restaurant operating in hotel at the time i stayed here...

Noisy out front
Not sure if there were special events on the two nights i was there but the noise was unbearable - the music was so loud until way after midnight that not even earplugs made a difference. Furthermore, eventhough i was practically the only guest there they would put me in a room out front - which was of course their right as i have booked it online (not knowingly) of course but if they would have wanted me as a returning customer they should have given me room that is more quite..

Good location for price
Good location for the price. About a 10 minute walk from the beach and 5 minutes to the night market, but adjacent to the red light district. The room wasn't very clean, old permanent looking stains on the sheets and shower was a bit moldy. No hand soap, oddly tons of shelf space, and an unusually large fridge. Nice balcony, but dirty furniture. Stains on walls and can hear everything in the hallways. Pretty much what you'd expect for what you pay.

Nice place
It is a nice place but a little further from the beach than most hotels. Also the internet went out for a day and no one seemed to know what to do to fix it, they were clueless. Oh well.

Wouldn't go again
If you are looking for a cheap hotel room away from the centre of Chaweng then this hotel will probably do. The room was a decent size and it was relatively clean. However there is nothing in the hotel - no bar, no restaurant, no pool. I didn't even see any other people staying there! The staff told me to go next door to the FX hotel for the restaurant but when I arrived there was no one there and the staff just looked at me so I left! It also advertised free wifi but they charged me 400baht for 3 days usage. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to Chaweng beach road which is where all the clubs, bars and restaurants are. I would not recommend staying here if you want a fun hotel with things to do or to meet other travellers.

Good Location
The location of the hotel was very good. 5 minute walk from Chaweng Beach and 10 minutes away from the main strip of activity. The room itself was dated and tired looking. The overall condition of the hotel is that the corridor, lift area and reception are falling apart. Its literally a stopping gap and nothing else.

Good Budget Option
For the price paid, everything was pleasant enough with the facilities you would expect in this price range. Its positives are that it is close to Chaweng beach but far enough out that it can be peaceful, the walking street is two minutes away with nice and cheap food. Also the FX next door allows you to use the pool. The hotel itself appears very dated and in need of some upgrades but for the price I wasnt expecting the Ritz.

Needs a bit of love
I came to koh Samui with my girlfriend - we are a student couple so weren't looking for anything too extravagant. On arrival we arrived at the front desk around 9PM and nobody was around - after 5 minutes of waiting we were checked in by a happy man , who showed us to our room and how everything worked . Pros : the rooms are big and clean and have lots of cupboard space. The bed is big and comfortable, (but the amenities such as a kettle with coffee and tea were not suppled) Cons : you can see that this hotel needs a bit of attention, as it is now shadowed by its big brother next door (FX hotel). I would take an educated guess in saying they are owned by the same person. The wifi is horrible, as it is shared from the FX hotel next door so the speed is super slow. The shower fittings could be cleaned as well as the the aircondofioners needing a service to take away the mouldy smell. In concluding I had a great stay at the laem din. Was a bit disappointed that we didn't receive all the amenities advertised but that happens when you are travelling on a budget!

You get what you pay for
Rooms don't look like they do in the photos. They are quite run down. The bathroom was mouldy. The service was quite bad, no one ever seemed to know what they were doing and it took a long time to check in. They were quite friendly though. The location is about 15min walk to Chaweng beach.

Quality Budget Hotel
This is a budget hotel in my opinion and located a few blocks off the beach. For the price of the rooms it was good value and staff were helpful. Use of the pool in the FX hotel next door is a bonus.

Photos are from the FX Hotel located Next door
Very disappointed, all the photos are from the Partner hotel (FX hotel) across the road. The bathroom needs a good deep clean with bleach, hair everywhere in the rooms and basically filthy. No room facility's (coffee etc) Bed is terrible old & too soft.We stayed 4 nights and had no cleaning or clean towels for 2 days???,This hotel is suited to backpackers who want to crash and basically use the room for sleep only but the room rate is way over priced...should be in the 4/500 baht a night range......The free wifi is the ONLY plus; if you have the chance stay next door at the FX = 8/10 the Laem 3/10...for the same room rate

For the amount that was paid, the hotel has nothing to do with the photos presented on Expedia, it tarnishes your name because there is no supervision of what is actually presented to the customer on arrival, a run-down hotel, the room delivered dirty, bed sheets very damaged, towels I had to pick up at the reception, as there was only a bath mat, the towels completely stained and worn, not to mention the air conditioning Dirty and maintenance-free, the room Dirty stained walls, an experience of the possibility.

Hold jer langt væk !!
Kan absolut ikke anbefales. Har aldrig være et hotel hvor der var så beskidt ved ankomst. selv sengetøjet og puder var beskidte (blod og tis). Værelserne ligger lige ud til en vej fuldt med barer som spiller meget højmusik og man kan høre ALT! servicen,, ja der var absolut ingen service, ved ankomst kunne vi ikke kommunikere med receptionisten da vedkommende intet engelsk kunne. vi havde booket på forhånd og det tog personalet meget lang tid at finde ud af! da hverken mig eller min rejsekammerat kunne eller ville overnatte på værelset fik vi opgraderet til the avenue som ligger lige ved siden af, og med samme ejere. det var bedre men stadig intet der kan anbefales. så alt i alt, gør jer den tjeneste at hold jer langt væk fra dette hotel, det er penge ud af vinduet !

Oroväckande
Vi var nog en av väldigt få gäster på hotellet p.g.a lågsäsong. Lite oroliga blev vi när dörren helt plötsligt öppnades och 3 män är på väg in i rummet. Mest förvånade blev nog de 3 männen när de upptäckte att rummet inte var tomt, Männen ursäktade sig med att de bara ville byta en lampa. Efter denna incident checkade vi ut en dag tidigare än planerat och tog in på annat hotell.

Schysst
Bra läge: 5 min promenad till stranden och 2 till bargatan. Stort rum. Plus för stor kyl då man kunde förvara tex frukost och allt fick plats! AC:n lät ganska mycket och gick inte att stänga av helt, men vi sov bra ändå. Bristfällig närvaro i receptionen och städningen var inte ultimat (sängkläderna byttes eller skakades ej). Gymmet var inte så bra, inga fungerande konditionsmaskiner. I det stora hela helt klart godkänt enligt två 19åriga backpackers.

Das Abenteuer beginnt bereits beim check-in
Das Hotel hätte definitiv Potential, aber bereits das Personal am Empfang und Check-in war so ziemlich das schlechteste was ich bzw. wir erlebt haben. Die Zimmer sind relativ groß sowie auch der Balkon. Leider riecht es im ganzen Zimmer nach Schimmel und auch die Bettbezüge sowie Decken sind eher gelb als weiss.

Bokade ett hotell, men blev placerade på hotellet vid sidan om för att det andra var fullt. Det verkade som att de hade det i system, för de var fler som var med om samma sak. Hotellet vi bodde på var fint, men det fanns inget gratis internet på det hotellet vi blev placerade på. Så då sa vi till hotellet IOM att det fanns på det vi bokade, så de fixade det. Det var dock väldigt dåligt.

Non è un hotel, e un porto di mare !!!
Vi dico solo che non sono mai entrato a dormire in questo se così lo dobbiamo chiamare "hotel". Ho pagato la differenza e sono andato in quello di fronte ,the Avenue,che è sempre della stessa proprietà ma è tutta un altra storia! La strada dove è situato il Laemdin Hotel sembra una di quelle strade di periferia frequentate da extracomunitari. È un hotel buono solo per comitive di ragazzetti che vogliano solo ubriacarsi e quant'altro .
