Le personnel au restaurant et très serviable et souriant avec les enfants. C’est la 2 eme fois que je séjourne dans cette hôtel et la dernière fois , aucun professionnalisme de la part du manager quand nous lui faisons part de notre désagrément il répète sans cesse qu’il comprend mais ne fait rien aucune réaction !

Excellent
J’ai séjourné en famille au Novotel Samui Deuxième année de suite. Jamais déçues.
J’étais en chambre deluxe côté plage.
Personnel au petits soins, accueil au top. Je retournerai l’année prochaine sans hésiter.
Merci

Грязь в номере
Беспардонное хамство горничной. Грязный номер постоянно! Открытые намеки что за чистоту нужно платить. Полотенца грязные складывала обратно , как-будто они свежие . Это очень разочаровывало. Сам отель не плохой. Остальной персонал очень воспитан и приветлив. Все было хорошо, кроме чистоты номера

Välj annat hotell, inte prisvärt!
Bokade rum för två vuxna och två barn (9 och 13 år)
När vi skulle checka in så fanns bara en dubbel säng på rummet och vi var tvungen att betala 22.000 bhat extra för att barnen skulle få egna sängar på rummet.
De menade att enligt thailändsk standard så kunde ett barn sova på soffan och ett i dubbelsängen med oss vuxna.
I bokningen står det tydligt att de är två vuxna och två barn (där även barnens ålder är angivet) som bokat hotell i 10 dager.
I övrigt ohjälpsam personal och allt på hotellet som ex mat och dryck har överpris jämfört med hotellen runt omkring.
Sehr freundliches Personal absolut alle sehr freundlich. Wir hatten ein großes Zimmer Hill Side (man muss über die Straße bei Buchung Hill Side). Jeden Tag wurde das Zimmer gemacht. Super Pool ! Getränke am Pool zu teuer. Der Strand sehr klein konnte teilweise wenn das Wasser hoch was nicht genutzt werden, dafür ein Minus. Im gross und ganzen haben wir uns gut gefüllt. 2 Personen mit 2 Kleinkinder

Husk at book værelse ved stranden
Novotel er altid en positiv oplevelse målt på kvalitet kontra pris. Koh Samui Novotel er ingen undtagelse.
Dog er der hovedbygning ned til vandet & med stor pool som denne anmeldelse gælder for, bygningen på den anden side af vejen er slet ikke sammenlignelig og ville få en anden vurdering.
There is no door and an open window in the bathrooms. No privacy. Food and drinks at the hotel were extortionate for Thailand. Sewage smell at the beach and poolside was terrible.
Absolutely loved this place. The staff were extremely friendly and pools and grounds were kept very clean. It’s located right on the beach although we stayed on the mountain side it wasn’t that big a drama crossing the road. It’s a bit out of town but if you hire a scooter as we did that’s not a problem. Would recommend the hotel to anyone thinking about going to Koh Samui.
Rigtig fint og godt hotel. Mange kinesere som ikke er så rejsevant. Super lækker strand ig rigtig fin service

Good family hotel
Spend 10 days at Novotel Chaweng beach, and was all in all happy about the stay. The hotel staff is very friendly, 2 nice pool areas and location directly at the beach and a short walk away from the center of Chaweng beach was perfect for a family holiday.
