Koh Lanta Hotels with balcony

"We were forced to spend six nights at this hotel because another booking fell through at the last minute. What we can say right now is that we would never want to spend another night there. We've been coming to Koh Lanta for several years and have tried various hotels, but this one definitely ranks last in our personal list. The existing, and mostly positive, reviews are incomprehensible to us. We paid just over €100 per night, which we consider completely unacceptable value for money. At €40-50 per night, it still wouldn't be pleasant, but the circumstances would be more tolerable. Let's start with the positives: The staff were very friendly and helpful, making the best of what they had. ... Negative: -Disastrous mattress with protruding edges and noticeable springiness across the surface. (A topper was provided upon request, but it didn't improve the situation.) If one person turns over, the other is completely affected by the movement and moves along with them. Bathroom very dark and worn. Stinking drains throughout the entire stay. Wide-smelling sink. Insufficient water pressure in the shower and at the tap on several occasions. Refrigerator annoyingly loud, sounding more like a small compressor. Window/balcony door doesn't close properly, making it very noisy, especially at night. Sleeping without earplugs was impossible. Frequently unreliable Wi-Fi. In summary: Only the bare essentials at an unreasonable price-performance ratio, but clean, well-maintained, and with helpful staff."
