Montien House - SHA Plus

Guests who stayed here loved

“I stayed here for three nights in late Jan. My main reason for selecting this hotel was location to an appointment I had in Chaweng. Just needed a no-frills, decent bed, place to sleep. That's just what I got. This place is NOT a resort, but rather a very low-key, bare-bones motel style establishment. So - I got what I needed, but was a bit surprised by what I encountered. There seem to be several people who do use this place for long vacation stays. This is surprising to me as I believe a vacation should include a little bit of luxury, and this place is definitely not defined by any luxury at all. Much of the clientele seems to be 65+ year-old Europeans. This is surprising to me as the place seems much more suited to a very young set with a low price point only needing an inexpensive place to crash after a night of hard partying. The lowdown: very small rooms with a small bathroom/shower, a TV and a small refrigerator. Air conditioning, room safe, and NO phone. It's clear the intention is very little service, and simply a place to crash (which makes my above point of elderly Europeans staying on long vacations all the more demonstrative). Pros: typical Thai hospitality. Everyone was quite friendly. Realities: while this is a "beachfront hotel", there is no beach. The water comes straight up to the concrete barrier which is the edge of the property. There is a small rectangular pool lined with lounge chairs the majority of which are occupied by the aforementioned old people (65+ often a low estimate). Breakfast was a bit dismal. Low quality, minimal selection, and some bakery items only had three or four pieces on display. There was no espresso available and only a large pot of regular coffee. The hot entrees (fried rice, noodles) were mediocre at best. Overall condition of the facility including the grounds and inside the rooms was poor to fair at best. The location is just off of Chaweng Beach road which is the main super busy touristy area on all of Koh Samui. This road has all of the restaurants, bars, massage parlors, weed shops, souvenir shops and sewer smells that you could possibly need or want. So - The place is fine if you need to crash for a night or two. But for an extended stay or "special" occasion.... not so much.”
