Koh Samui Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"The hotel is clean, despite of its old-fashioned look. The room is comfortable (but outside noise comes in easily). The only downside is I gotthe room on building 3 and there's no lift in the building and my room was on the 4th fl. So I needed to carry my luggage up all the way by myself. If you would like to book and have big luggages, you may need to reconsider (or request for the lower floor.) I'm not sure whether there is a lift available in its other buildings."

"Check-in was prompt, and I got the room I booked. However, I had to walk quite a distance to reach it because guests staying long-term (monthly rentals) occupy the closer rooms, meaning those staying for just one or two nights are assigned rooms further away. This isn't ideal for the elderly. The room itself was nice, but the wooden furniture and fittings were starting to show their age. The air conditioning worked well. In the bathroom, there was no screen or divider, so it was visible from the bedroom. The TV didn't work at all during my two-night stay as there was no signal. Breakfast was delicious, especially the homemade sausages. The restaurant had a beautiful view, as did the swimming pool, but the beach right in front of the hotel wasn't usable; you had to walk to the side of the property. There's no dedicated parking for cars; you have to park on the roadside, which is a hilly, winding road, so you need to be very careful."

"What could improve 1. Lifts not working 2. Toiletries could have been better. 3.Wifi needs lot of improvement. It's bad. 4. Should allow guests to check in earlier if there are rooms available. What is good 1. Very good service 2. Rooms are good 3. Breakfast is decent. Coffee is very good."

"Had a lovely few days but hire a bike. We loved the hotel, it was on the beach, had a pool, a reasonable menu BUT there are roadworks going on at the front and it would put you off at first glance. We biked to the pier to go to pig Island and it was half the price...anyway I digress."

"this hotel had sun bed on nice beach (chaweng noi beach ) nice loved it 😊 Clean room just abit far from town"

"Excellent hotel in the heart of Chaweng! The location is super convenient – Central Festival, shops, cafes, restaurants, and the beach are all nearby. For the price, it's one of the best options on Samui. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable. A big bonus is being able to use the secure parking at Central Festival, which is really handy if you're traveling by car or scooter. There's a good co-working space for getting work done, an on-site cafe, and a swimming pool. The vibe is modern and youthful. The only downside I can mention is the absence of a toothbrush and toothpaste in the room, which even more budget-friendly hotels usually provide. Otherwise, everything is great. Excellent value for money, quality, and location. I would gladly stay here again!"

"Gorgeous views and a very green, well-maintained territory. Cleaning is excellent. Linens and towels are changed daily. The room is very clean. Breakfasts are fantastic. They prepare different types of eggs, pancakes, and offer cheese, cured sausage, vegetables, greens, ready-made dishes, and lots of fruit. The coffee is bad, but that's the only downside of the breakfasts. It's great to sunbathe by the pool; there are comfortable sun loungers, and you can order drinks and food. The music is pleasant and not too loud. The pool water temperature and showers are nice. Massages are slightly more expensive than elsewhere, literally by only 200 baht. CONS. 1. You can't take more than 1 towel at the pool. This is absolute nonsense. One towel isn't enough to cover the whole sun lounger, and it's impossible to touch the scorching hot faux leather. Just buy more towels; you're washing them anyway. What's the problem with one more or two? I really don't see the issue! 2. Internet. It didn't work at all in our room. There are apps and YouTube on the TV, but you can't watch movies because there's no internet, even though they give you the Wi-Fi password. It only works in the restaurant and by the pool. 3. The staff is excellent, EXCEPT for the older man with glasses by the pool (photo attached). He constantly has a sour face as if everyone owes him something. Disgusting. Unfriendly. Customer service is ZERO. He needs to be retired with that attitude! 4. The sea. It's non-existent. It's a quarry. Take a 3-minute ride to Chaweng, that's where the beach is. White, fine sand, turquoise water. Here, it's yellow, coarse sand, all rocks; you can't swim without a mask. Even getting in is difficult. So, if you love swimming in beautiful water, this isn't the place. And if you use a mask, which they provide for free here, it's not Zanzibar or the Maldives; it's not that beautiful, and there's not much to see. 5. Flies in the restaurant! This is absolutely horrific. There are 5-8 of them flying over your plates. And don't tell me it can't be dealt with. I refuse to believe that a guest in a 5-star hotel should sit swatting flies. Put some small repellents on the tables. They cost pennies, but they solve the problem. 6. The air conditioning in the room roars like a plane taking off. It's impossible to adjust it properly. It has no quiet mode. Replace this old thing with new ones; it's not that expensive either. 7. Near the building where our room 406 was, there's a smoking area for staff. We have to walk past this spot every day, and it's dirty, with trash everywhere, as if it's not hotel property but a backyard in a village. 8. Water temperature fluctuations in the shower. There are only two options: scalding hot or freezing cold. It's impossible to get a medium temperature."

"First Bungalow beach resort has a fantastic location on the quiet side of Chaweng Beach. Rooms are tired and need updating. Walk in showers would be a plus - anyone with mobility issues would struggle to get into the tub/shower. Cleaning is adequate. A plentiful breakfast is included but is mostly the same offering every day. Coffee is barely drinkable. Pool area and beach area is fantastic! Staff work hard to help where they can. Definitely a budget hotel but within walking distance of many fantastic restaurants."
