Imperial Boat House Hotel, Choeng Mon Beach
Lovely hotel and grounds. We stayed in a poolside terrace room- this was ideal as was ground level. The rom was clean and comfortable. fresh towels daily and everything you would expect down to razor kit, sewing kit etc. 2 free bottles of water daily. fresh fruit daily.
breakfast was brilliant- lots to choose from. Main restaurant was excellent although more expensive than restaurants along the beach, although some of those event hough they looked a bit dodgy the food was ok.
Staff and service excellent- all very helpful
outside the hotel there is nothing much to do or see though and its a bit like beirut before or after the bombing.there is a free shuttle bus to the main town (free in day but small fee in the evening)this town , chewang i think it was called was just one long road full of shops with trinkets etc for sale.
we did have a good time thoough- it was our wedding anniversary during the week and the hotel made us a cake- how sweet!!

Thanks to Boat House and Sawadee, we all had a great time. Especially our 14-month-old son loved the beach. Staff is extremely friendly and ready to help 24/7. Great landscape. We originally booked for 3 nights but then extended it to a week. Honeymoon suit was spacious and comfortable. Only negative issue were the mosquitos. Breakfast was rich in choises. Beach resataurant was good but pricy, so we tried other restaurants nearby, or went easily to Chaweng with shuttle of the hotel.

perfect timing and organization. thank you very much!!!

Imperial Boat House Hotel, Choeng Mon Beach
We got back from IBH last week and had a wonderful holiday. The hotel is excellent: great location, delicious buffet breakfast, clean rooms, spacious bathrooms (we were not staying in a boathouse, bathrooms look smaller in them), friendly staff, great swimmingpools, great beach (no rocks in the sea in front of the beach) and acceptable beach sofa s and umbrella s. The restaurant is maybe a little disapointing, but there are great alternatives on the beach in restaurants next door.
With regards to the noise from the nearby construction site: it was never a disturbing factor for us, definitely not at night (noise of the airco filters out the noise from outside), just ask for a room away from the construction site.

Excellent service and follow up!

We have just arrived home from our honeymoon in the South of Thailand. We stayed at the Imperial Boathouse for 3 nights. The first 2 nights were before travelling to Koh Tao and the last night was upon our return from Koh Tao.
The first two nights were great. We were greeted by Pla and she was exceptional. She spoke fairly clear english and always understood our questions. She was our go to girl for booking tours, transport and anything we needed! We were upgraded from a Deluxe to a Premier room because it was our honeymoon. We had a large bath (which was cold before it actually filled up) and a seperate shower. Overall we were very pleased with the room, the service and the hotel as a whole. We really enjoyed the time in Samui and were excited about the fact we were returning in a few days.
The last night we were there we were put in a deluxe room which faced the construction happening next door, which was very noisy. In addition, the room had a joint bath/shower with one of those hand held showers. The water pressure would continually change while you were trying to shower. We complained so they went to move us into another deluxe room which had 2 single beds and still faced the construction! We complained again and were then moved to a pool terrace room. It was away from the construction but still had hand held shower. The water pressure was normal so it was better then the first 2 rooms! We were quite excited about the fact we would see Pla again but it was her day off. We were disappointed but obivously understood she deserves a day off! It just felt like we were in a different place without her.
Would probably stay there again )but insist a room away from construction and book premier room)

Sawadee were perfect. We booked a number of hotels and arranged transport through the site and the travelling was smooth sailing. No complaints.

Imperial Boat House Hotel, Choeng Mon Beach
We had a nice stay at this hotel, We had a pool side room which was very clean and had a very nice patio, all cleaned on daily basis. A complimentary fruit platter is also provided daily.
Staff is generally nice, swimming pool and beach are good for children.
Breakfast was very generous and Food served in the restaurant was very good however an additional 10% service and 7% tax is charged on the total making this the most expensive place on the beach. We tried few places in the adjacent resorts where we also had good food at a fraction of the price.
A free shuttle service to Chaweng is offered 3 times a day, charges applies at other times. A new resort is been built next door and some tolerable noise can be heard at times and a big crane is visible from the pool. Overall very good for couples perhaps more activities to entertaining children would make this place perfect.

Good and fast

Imperial Boat House Hotel, Choeng Mon Beach
The hotel is very nice and the staff is friendly. Good location on a quiet beach. Just a short ride to Chaweng and shopping. The restaurant serves good european food, but if you want to eat Thai food you can get the same food for half the price on one of the restaurants on the beach. We came to Koh Samui after spending one week on Koh Tao. We wanted to continue diving on Koh Samui, however the dive trips from Koh Samui is by speed boat up to Koh Tao - so if you want to dive travel to Koh Tao - not Koh Samui.

No problems

Good hotel - reasonably priced including bar meals and drinks. Evening food is slightly more expensive, however was one of the best meals I had on Koh Samui.

Fantastic service.

Imperial Boat House Hotel, Choeng Mon Beach
The hotel was generally good. The staff were friendly and helpful and the diving shop was excellent. However we did have some problems that took a little of the shine of the stay. First, was the construction site next door of which we were not advised before booking. The construction was noisey and if you made use of the beach side massage (an excellent little service) the building they are located withn actually shook. Secondly the A/C leaked on our first night and left a puddle in the middle of the floor, however to the hotels credit it was repaired within an hour. Thirdly if your airport pick up is later than the check out time you can book a shower room. Unfortunately the A/C in the shower room we were allocated did not work and we ended up having a sauna. In summarry this is a good hotel which is a bit old and needs a soft refurbishment and will be a lot better of when the construction next door is finished.
|
Booking service was good and efficient but should have advised of the construction before the booking was completed.

An excellent hotel with all that you can wish for! Beautiful place on a quiet, white-sandy beach, very friendly staff who love children, good food, excellent rooms, nice, big swimmingpools and walking distance to other good restaurants on the beach. A good base for exploring the island and taking daytrips to the surrounding islands. Can be recomended to people of all ages, with or without children.

Very good and reliable booking-service. Quick response to all our questions.
