Lovely little house, you really felt like you were staying with the family! It was quiet, far enough away from the beach that the karaoke didn't keep you up all night but close enough that it was an easy walk. Also very close to Nadan pier so no hassle with transport/walk when you get there, just straight up the hill and there you are. The area looks a little rough and ready but we found everyone incredibly friendly and weren't at all worried about safety. The people that run it live downstairs so you know that security is going to be a priority in the building! The walk to the beach goes straight past all the shops which is great if you want to pick up a snack on the way there and a cold drink on the way home. The rooms are very clean and there's a tv and fridge if you wanted to use them. Best of all - the air conditioning was fantastic, just what you need when the heat is reaching ridiculous, and the family were really lovely and helpful, going out of their way to make sure we had everything.

Staff are extremely friendlily & helpful. Able to rent a scooter at the going rate of B300. Properly sign posted, once you turn left from the pier. Silent location and very good proximity to the pier.

A 10/15 walk from the principal beach. Basically a budget hotel/hostel my girlfriend and I had a room (with private batroom ) that was clean and had aircon and fridge. The price reflects the basic facilities and location, but if you consider it costs 4 times a lot more to stay at the beach hotels its pretty good. I stayed at 1 of the beach hotels prior to (Saekiew Villa) and found the same standard of room massively overpriced. No food or drink on offer at the Ban Samet Hill but a lot of that around anyway. The boss (Youn) was helpful with local info and advice on boat trips etc. I would stay there again.

Lovely stay thank you! not the very best location but it is only 10 minute walk from the first beach! and right close to the pier so you probably save money not paying for the taxi to your hotel near the beach! the hostel is silent and clean! lovely staff, shame i could not stay longer.
