Scenic Hotels in Koh Larn

"Cleanliness: Being on the first floor near the pool, there were quite a few insects, and the hotel didn't provide any mosquito repellent, which was a bit disappointing. I guess it's on par with guesthouses and hotels in mainland China. Facilities: After spending time at the beach, I went directly to the pool. Many areas around the pool were quite slippery, and it felt like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time, so it wasn't particularly clean. Service: The hotel didn't provide disposable toiletries like toothbrushes or toothpaste, which is a big deal. Also, the hotel is a bit far from 7-Eleven, so you'd need to ride a scooter for about 7 minutes to buy toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other necessities. There's a small snack shop about a two to three-minute scooter ride from the hotel, which offers good value for money. The hotel does provide scooters for rent at 300 THB, and the price isn't negotiable. However, the average price for scooters on the street is around 200 THB. If convenience is key, renting from the hotel is an option, but if you want to save money, you can ask around on the street for a 200 THB rental. For water activities, always remember to bargain; cutting the price in half is usually a good strategy."

"The appearance largely matches the promotional pictures, but it's absolutely not worth the price. 1. The water pressure in the bathroom is extremely low, and hot water supply is delayed, making it very difficult to shower. Adjusting the water temperature is a nightmare – it's either too cold or too hot, and there are no markings for hot and cold taps, haha. It took us a whole day to figure it out. 2. The hot water tap on the bathroom sink was broken; we couldn't turn off the hot water. Every time we washed our hands, it was scalding hot, which was extremely annoying. 3. Breakfast consisted of fried eggs or poached eggs, along with two pathetic slices of bread, and the sausages were terrible. The breakfast was truly awful. 4. It's close to the pier, but the view is minimal, blocked by other buildings on the left. In the mornings, there's quite a bit of speedboat noise and petrol smell. 5. The scooter rental fee at the hotel is 1.5-2 times higher than outside. There's really no need to rent from the hotel. 6. As soon as you request a late check-out, they immediately ask for more money. While the principle isn't wrong, the hot water facilities in the room were particularly infuriating."

"It's very difficult to write an original review without repeating compliments about the hotel and its owner. I can say that staying here was the most wonderful part of my vacation in Pattaya and Koh Larn. You're surrounded by care even before your arrival: the owner will arrange transfers from the pier, help you to rent a motorbike, provide a spinning (if you want to go fishing), and everything you need for your stay. Most importantly, the atmosphere of relaxation and tranquility that reigns here. I wish the owner and staff success and prosperity and would be happy to return."

"The views are beautiful, and the rooftop jacuzzi is clean. However, the grounds and the room itself were a bit dirty. The breakfasts were good. Despite the less-than-perfect cleanliness and a bit of wear and tear, I would still come back here again."

"I booked a garden view room, so it wasn't right by the pier; it was a few minutes' walk to get inside. The furniture was a bit dated. There's no swimming pool. It felt pretty average. There were a few other places nearby with pools that looked newer. There's no phone in the room, which made communication a bit inconvenient, especially since my phone plan doesn't include calls."

"We felt like we'd stumbled into paradise. It's a very quiet, secluded spot. We contacted the hotel in advance, and they met us at Naban Pier and also took us back there later. The ladies at the reception were very sweet. We were greeted with a welcome cocktail (margarita) and toffees. They processed our documents in just 3 minutes and handed us the key to a motorbike (which was free for us, included in the room rate). The room was clean, bright, and beautiful. Everything in the minibar was complimentary (the tea was delicious, excellent coffee, chips, nuts, cookies, raisins, drinks). They provide bathrobes, rubber and disposable slippers, toothbrushes with toothpaste, cotton swabs, a shower cap, a razor, combs, soap, and shampoo – everything you could possibly need. There’s also an extra beach bag and an umbrella. We booked a room with a bathtub and a sea view. The bathtub was large; two people could easily fit, even with my husband being 1.87m and me not being tiny. The view was stunning. Sunrise in the morning, the sea during the day, and Pattaya's lights at night. There were many lighting options you could turn on in the evening to create a romantic atmosphere. There's also access to a small terrace with very comfortable seating and an ashtray, for anyone who smokes. The mattress and pillows were very soft, and the bed linen was good. There were air fresheners in both the room and the toilet. The main pool is small, but you can spend some time there in the evening. I must especially mention the breakfast. It wasn't just tasty, it was magnificent; everything was fresh. We couldn't eat it all – the portions were huge! We absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. We will definitely come back here ourselves, next time for a whole week."

"The hotel is located near Naban Pier. After checking in, we took a stroll to the Seven-Eleven. The room is small, but it has everything you need. Each bungalow has its own veranda where you can sit, have a snack, or just relax. But do bring mosquito repellent, as there are mosquitoes in the evening. The staff are friendly and always smiling. Breakfast at 8 AM is small but sufficient to fill you up. The grounds are green. There are tiny ants running around in the room, which needs to be addressed. Overall, it's a perfectly fine place to stay for 1-2 days."

"The property is centrally located on the island. Motorbikes are available for rent at 300 THB, though the one we received seemed to have been in a prior accident, making it difficult to ride as it constantly pulled to the left. The location is convenient, with restaurants within walking distance, and a shuttle service is also provided. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, but the bathroom did have a slight drain odor. The room itself had no offensive smell, but wasn't particularly fresh-smelling either. The bathroom floor was quite slippery, so caution was needed when walking. The wall-mounted shower had very weak water pressure; a standard shower head would be a significant improvement. Interestingly, the water pressure at the sink and from the bidet sprayer was strong. The room lighting was rather dim and yellowish. The TV was unusable due to intermittent signal (this was in our family room). Breakfast included congee, bread, coffee, and Ovaltine."

"It's about a 5-minute walk from the pier. It can be a little difficult to find as you have to go through an alley. We booked a room with a balcony overlooking the ocean, and it was a great choice. You can occasionally hear the sounds of boat horns and wild dogs barking, but the sound of the waves drowns them out. Time passed slowly, and it was a very comfortable stay. They provided free motorbikes, so we were able to explore the island (one for two people). Be careful as there are stray dogs roaming around at night. The hotel staff were also kind, and I was very happy that they greeted us in broken Japanese."

"I can't understand how this hotel got such a high rating. They don't respond to emails. They don't answer questions on the Trip.com chat. Our booking was mixed up. We booked a 'Sweet' room, but they had us down for a 'DeLuxe' for some reason. The price was roughly the same when we booked. We asked to switch rooms (at check-in) and were moved from DeLuxe #3 to Sweet #2 for an additional 700 baht! I then asked to change from room #2 to #1. They said it was already booked. I pointed out that when booking, you only select the room type, not a specific room number. They got flustered... but still insisted that room #2 was the only option. For anyone booking: the best rooms with views from the window and the top deck are DeLuxe #1 and Sweet #1. The room wasn't clean; there was trash lying around. An empty chip bag was in the bin. This isn't just dirtiness – it's an indicator of poor standards. There was a used towel on the hanger. No bathrobes were provided. The top floor was sandy everywhere, including on the sun loungers. I guess they're trying to create a beach atmosphere :) The windows were dirty. The bathtub was worn. The air conditioning was noisy. They only give you one key card. If you leave the card in the slot when you step out of the room (e.g., to your own top floor), the door locks behind you (and you can't open it from the outside). If you take the card out, when you close the door, the electricity cuts off, with all the consequences – AC turns off, phones stop charging, etc. I asked for a second key card, but they refused. This is just ridiculous... they're cutting corners on AC... and on their reputation. As an option, you could bring an extension cord and plug it into the 'refrigerator' outlet :) Seriously... it's the 21st century. Overall, it's a so-so hotel. For this price, I think there are much better options. Its location, yes, is good. I understand the laid-back nature of the Thais, but there's a limit. I don't want to stress out on vacation, and who does! So, weighing all the pros and cons, the cons definitely outweigh the pros. I don't know about you, but we are definitely not coming back here. Especially for that money... there are genuinely decent options nearby. And my peace of mind is more important! Breakfasts... were decent. There's a tasty build-your-own soup with a rice base and meat (meatballs), mushrooms, various toppings, etc. A small bowl of fruit and a tiny bowl of yogurt with 3-4 blueberries and 2-3 kiwi slices. They also bring a plated portion with an omelet or two fried eggs, two sausages, two pieces of bacon, two small triangular pieces of sausage, etc. Overall, breakfast was more or less okay. There were no issues with the transfer from the hotel to Na Ban Pier. We took the ferry departing at 9:30 AM. The trip to Bali Hai Pier took 30 minutes. After a couple of ferries sank, they now seem to be counting passengers and trying to avoid overloading."
