Best Western Chaweng Samui

The hotel left a mixed impression. Strong points: 1. Good location (with two huge reservations, see below) and proximity to all the infrastructure - restaurants, clubs, shops, shopping center. 2. Friendly staff, especially the cleaners and restaurant staff, welcoming and nice. 3. High-quality breakfast - hot dishes change, they make delicious omelettes and other egg dishes to choose from. 4. Nice room and a beautiful pool, in which no one swims. What didn't I like? 1. The hotel is essentially located at the end of the airport runway, from 7 am you will be performing the function of an air traffic controller instead of sleeping. 2. I got a room on the second floor, opposite the private sector, where people are constantly walking, no privacy, you have to constantly close the window with curtains. 3. Completely lacking external soundproofing - the double-glazed windows are so thin that you can hear everything that happens on the street. You can still understand the sound of a jet plane, but I don't understand the clucking of chickens from 5 am (from neighboring private houses), as if they were under your pillow. In this hotel, I forgot what a normal sleep is. 4. When booking, the standard check-out time is 12:00, when checking in, they slip you a paper with the rules of residence to sign, where check-out is at 11:00. Explaining that you booked the hotel under different conditions does not help. 5. It's 2025, accessible Internet should be by default. The first three days, the Internet in the hotel did not work at all - they have incorrectly configured IP addresses, because of which the device connects to Wi-Fi, but it does not work. Then they fixed it, but the speed is low and the connection is constantly broken. Were you planning to work a little? Forget it and go to the beach. 6. The absence of even a minimal gym. It is clear that this is visible when booking, but in hotels of a similar category (including those much cheaper) there is usually at least a dumbbell stack and a couple of mats, here nothing. 7. Ultra slow elevator - if you are with elderly relatives or got a room on the 4th floor, you will either wait for the elevator for 5 minutes, or train your legs. Overall, a normal hotel for a couple of days, but the price-quality ratio is questionable.
