Hotels near Kuan Yin Temple (Chinese Temple), Koh Phangan

Hey everyone. We spend in this hotel 6 days and it was amazing. Service 5/5 ,view 5/5, food 5/5 , clean 5/5. and especially breakfast 😍😍😍 the best breakfasts in island. You must to taste their home made strawberry jam 😍 really HIGHLY RECOMMEND. P.s. of course wonderful swimming pool and sunset side ❤️❤️❤️

Convenient location - laundry and supermarkets are within walking distance. Friendly staff. The room was very dark, one small light bulb and a small tinted window. There was no balcony as stated in the room description, although the hotel does have rooms with balconies. Overall I liked it, I would stay again

I stayed here for 5 nights before, during and after the fullmoon party. The owners are really amazing!! 2 Thai guys who run the hostel, they help you with everything but never push you to do something. The beds are comfortable and you got some walls between the beds for some privacy! Its not a party hostel so if you want some rest its the perfect place to be!! A little chill spot upstairs where you can hang out and they let you play your own music on their boombox if you want! I would defenitely recommend this hostel and will go back for sure next time in Phangang!

Positives first. Accommodation is quite good - convenient location, basic but comfortable room. 2 bottles of water a day and fresh towels. Not so good - staff don’t always clean the room (and refresh the towels and daily water), even when you leave the sign on the door requesting them to clean it. My stay was utterly soured, though, by a bad experience on the last night/check out. During the night, the air conditioner, which is hung very high in the wall (almost at the ceiling, strangely), started leaking badly. Water damaged some of my belongings, including electronic cables, and soaked my clothes, which I had to have washed elsewhere to remove the damp smell. I didn’t complain, though, as these things happen and, until this point, I was really happy with everything, so it wasn’t worth causing an issue over. However, when I was walking to the bathroom holding my room key, which has two plastic tags on it, I slipped in a puddle of water from the air conditioner. I smashed my back on the floor and, luckily, broke my fall with my hand which was holding the key. Part of the plastic broke but the key was still in perfect working order and the plastic bits were only particularly chipped. I went downstairs to mention this and I was told it was fine. When checking out an hour or so later, the staff attempted to withhold 650B of my 1,000 deposit to penalise me for the small bit of damage to a piece of plastic. I was honestly gobsmacked! I mentioned that I had (a) fallen purely due to a huge puddle of water caused by their malfunctioning air conditioner, (b) damaged my back in the process, (c) had some of my belongings soiled with dirty air conditioner water and (d) broken a bit of the plastic off the key fob while falling due to a fault in the room. I had to stand my ground over being fined for an accident that was, to all intents, caused by faulty equipment. THEIR faulty equipment. Eventually, they took 300B from me. I didn’t have time to argue as I had a ferry to catch. But I made it clear that I was absolutely furious to be charged for a piece of plastic that would cost 50B maximum to replace. Long story short: an APPALLING experience but the place itself is fine, if slightly overpriced.

The private rooms really aren’t worth it for the price compared to other places in the area. They have no windows, the bed was super hard and the bathroom just generally looked quite unclean. We went in June so knew it wouldn’t be packed but there wasn’t a single other person at the hostel. Our friends stayed at the beach bodega and said it was much better so I’d say do that. The staff were great though and refunded us when we explained the rooms weren’t exactly like the photos or description. Like most places after covid it could do with a serious re vamp.

this resort is not what it looks like on the pictures. the bungalows were very small and dirty. bugs were able to get in through the night and i woke up covered in mosquito bites and ants. not to mention there was cockroaches all over the bathroom. we were meant to stay 3 nights and left after the 1st night it was unbearable. there is also a 6 week old kitten in a small cage constantly crying at reception and is so hungry. when you pet the wee thing she is purely skin and bones. i really wanted to take her with me, felt awful for the wee thing :( treat your animals better and feed your kitten. it is by itself 24 hours in that cage with no attention or proper care. disgusting treatment. we were not offered any money back despite our room being infested with cockroaches and not up to proper hygiene standards.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Summer Luxury resort. The rooms are really spacious and the resort is pretty with a nice pool and a sea view from the restaurant. We went in December and I believe there is a high tide at this time so there was no beach, but this didn’t really bother us as we didn’t have great weather anyway during our stay. The downside of this hotel is the location, there is a dirt track to get to the hotel which I personally wouldn’t feel too comfortable walking down at night. We hired a car as we found that there wasn’t many restaurants / things to do within walking distance. Having said that, the restaurant at the hotel is really nice, we enjoyed the food and the staff are very friendly. The breakfast was also really good too. The reception staff were also friendly, I didn’t get his name but one man in particular made our stay with his welcoming and warm attitude, and willingness to help us with any queries/trips we wanted to book etc! Another member of staff at the poolside bar was very friendly and attentive too. Unfortunately the cooking class wasn’t open due to maintenance during our stay which was a shame as we had rain most days and found ourselves looking for things to do. The spa was also closed for maintenance on one of the days. Overall, the hotel is nice, and I would definitely recommend if you’re not too bothered about hiring a car/scooter to get around.

A beautiful resort with spacious comfy living space, big bedroom with such a comfy bed and a modern clean bathroom all opening up into the plunge pool. Sun lounges and a nice seating area outside the room. It was a fantastic stay. The staff are absolutely lovely and so helpful, they kindly picked us up and dropped us back at the ferry pier. We also rented a motorbike through them which was easy and worked out cheaper than anywhere else. This has by far been my favourite place I’ve stayed in Thailand. Right on the beach as well! Communal pool is lovely spent hours in there. Also beautiful well kept gardens Would 100% return felt it was such good value for money! Thanks so much to all the team

After spending a wonderful month in another resort I spent my 3 last nights on the island in the First villa. 3 nights = 3 five cm disgusting cockroaches in the room. One coming out of my shower bag. They don't put any spray against them. The first two days there was no hot water. The receptionist was bold and unpleasant . The food was sometimes mediocre and sometimes good, but the dishes were very small. So often I ended up ordering twice the same dishes to fill satiated. The bungalows are old. the window screens were filthy. There is no good insulation between the bungalows so you hear EVERYTHING going on next door. There is no staff in the evening from around 20:30 till I think 8:30 so for example the electricity went down in my room - which means no AC - and there was no one around to help me with it. They did give me tiny piece of paper when I arrived with the phone number of one of the staff, but who could remember where they put it when they just arrive with their suitcases and who could find it in the dark. The wifi was very weak and did not work well in the common areas so I was advised to work from my room - which is not why I went to Thailand. I would not go back to this place.
