The hotel is beautiful and at the far end of the beach so it's quieter. I walked into the main tourist area along the beach in about 25 minutes. The beach is smoother than those around it. The sand is smooth and the view is incredible. My room was oceanview but if it's available I would recommend getting ocean side because it looked like a lovely room. My room was big and well-cared for. The only thing to note is that there was no safe in the room.

Right on the beach, cute little tiki bar across the road, room was perfect and service was amazing. They even returned a schooter for me the departure morning and mailed me my drivers license to Canada!

This place was fantastic. Reasonably priced and right on the beach. The room was really cute and comfortable, with a balcony with a partial sea view. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. Plus, it's cuter, cozier, and more personal than the bigger resorts on the beach. Great location - close to the main strip of Chaweng, without being right on the loud part of the street.

Great service at great hotel
Great hotel run by brilliant staff. Could not do more for you, located right on the beach and up the quiet end of town made it a perfect escape. It rained for a few days which is no fault of the hotel but they delivered umbrellas if you wanted to go out. Will be back to stay here again.

Charming hotel on the beach
Although not as well appointed as a lot of hotels in Koh Samui (eg no swimming pool) this small, friendly hotel more than made up for it with it's beautiful location on the beach and it's considerate and friendly staff. It had a warm ambiance that often larger establishments can't provide. We would definitely return there.

Second home on Samui
It's pretty and cozy place at the end of the Chaweng. Best beach and location. The most attentive staff and clean rooms. Stayed in many Chaweng hotels, but here the best combination of price and quality.We want to stay again this year in our hotel.

Aging Thai Beachfront Hotel
Very little English spoken. Haan (sp?) very pleasant and helpful at breakfast. Weather was not good. Lovely, old Thai hotel with lush gardens. Very small and laid back. Our room was old but nicely done but smelled musty and mildewy. I think they tried to cover the smell with some kind of spray that literally burned my eyes and skin. Air conditioner and open windows helped but I could not stay there again for that reason. The pillows were the worst ever. Neither my husband nor I slept much the first night because they were hard as a rock. The next day we got different one which were better.

Peaceful Chaweng
Quiet location at the southern end of Chaweng beach, this resort is ideal for folk who like peace and the opportunity to unplug, whilst still being close enough to the livelier part of Chaweng if required. The cleanliness is spot on - an army of cleaners comes in daily, does and goes, super efficient ! The gardens are a joy and equally well-maintained. It was a real pleasure to sit on the verandah outside my bungalow enjoying the sights, sounds and smells. Food at the hotel is very good but it is only a short walk to more choice for the 'foodies'. The staff are very friendly, particularly if you engage with them. Don't expect top of the range facilities, that is not what Sans Souci is all about, just enjoy the un-frenetic ambience on offer. All-in-all a very enjoyable experience and I shall look forward to my next visit.

Great location, beautiful views, service lacking
The hotel is in a great location. Right on chaweng beach so you can have breakfast looking at the ocean. The free breakfast was good too. Rooms were big but outdated. Our toilet kept breaking and leeking every day so that was frustrating that they never fixed it. Customer service was probably the worst part of my experience. The front desk staff and staff helping with breakfast were not friendly or helpful. We had much better service at the other places we stayed in Thailand

Happy here again
We had a Seaview room on the ground floor of the main building. The room was spacious inside and decorated in dark timber, giving the feel of a bungalow. It was quiet, although they were a full house. The breakfast provided is a choice of cooked (eggs, pancakes,etc fruit or juice and always a lovely bakery basket with croissant and toast. They are family run and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The beach it is on, we think, is the best part of Chaweng and sunbeds and umbrellas are provided. I would not hesitate to return for a 4th visit.

unfortunately we got off to a bad start due to having to pay for a taxi service to the hotel despite it stating on their website that a service is provided. When questioned with reception upon arrival they claimed to not understand what we were talking about and when i showed them their website they said that is only for customer who book direct through them and not agencies (although on hotels.com it states you will be collected with 72 hours notice). Also for the transfer back to the pier we asked reception if they would take us with 2 days notice which they said was fine but as we were leaving they told us the driver was on holiday and made us pay for another taxi. Staff did not seem to be bothered if you had a problem and were not helpful in other situation. The room was dated, WIFI signal was very poor and lost connection occasionally and also the air con did not cool the room. Breakfast was very poor standard and not a lot of selection, also could only select one of either fruit juice or pieces of fruit which is very bad. A lot of improvement needed for this hotel especially as it was one of the more expensive hotels we stayed in. Beach would have been nice if it there wasn't so much rubbish. Only positive about the hotel was the surrounding restaurants and bars which offered lots different types of food & drink.

Close to beach, and to noisy street.
San Souci (pronounced son soo see) was everything I was hoping - right on the beach, the rooms were sweetly thai style while also being comfortable, the staff were extremely helpful... What I was not expecting were the trucks that drove past periodically after 2pm blaring music and ads for bars, as San Souci backs directly onto the main shopping strip. There's also a bar very nearby that plays music loudly until late at night. I had picked this hotel because it was one of the few with 'No in-house DJ' and I thought that meant it would be quiet! I was wrong. Otherwise: Complimentary water and beach towels, a library of books abandoned by previous guests in a range of languages, breakfast was OK (we had to BYO soy milk but they didn't mind) - we didn't try the dinner because there were no vegetarian options at all.

The staff makes the hotel
A few day holiday was the purpose of the stay at Samui Island. This hotel had awesome beachfront property, near the main part of the town city, and superb landscaping. The room's interior had a country feel to it with its wooden decor. The staff were remarkable, sincerely enjoying their work. one person in particular deserves note, Oon, who unfailingly was helpful and all smiles. Detractors, though mild, in a competitive environment that is Thailands hotel industry, lowers the overall rating. Absent bathroom sundry items (shower cap, hairdryer, toothpaste...), no variety on the breakfast menu were small detracters. All that said, I'd still go back to this hotel over the more recently built hotels.

For a beach holiday it would be very hard to beat
The staff are all so friendly , the position of this small hotel is the best ever , 1 step and your on the beautiful beach. OK this hotel does not have the grandness of your more modern hotels, but loved everything about it, we dont normally go back to the same place on holidays , to many places to see in the world but cant wait to go back to Sans Souci.

Excellent rapport qualité prix et vue mer
Excellent rapport qualité prix pour cet hôtel ! Nous avions la seule chambre du dernier étage : vue splendide sur la mer et les palmiers, aucun vis-à-vis, literie confortable. La salle de bain n'est pas des plus modernes mais elle est pas mal. Les chambres en bord de mer semblent aussi très symathiques. Le petit déjeuner est très correct : vous avez le choix entre un continental, un américain et un thaï. Le tout assis devant la mer. L'hôtel est assez petit. Il y a néanmoins une bibliothèque agréable pour lire ou travailler, un petit jardin avec hamac double (sympa en couple). Il n'y pas de piscine. La plage et la mer sont néanmoins juste devant l'hôtel. Dans le coin où est situé l'hôtel, il y a pas mal de vagues et de vent.

Ho prenotato in questo hotel aspettandomi qualcosa in più. Invece andrebbe rinnovato un po tutto. Ho la fobia di dormire con animali in camera...e soffro a stare negli ambienti chiusi e opprimenti. Beh la camera da letto era opprimente, il letto esageratamente alto e la porta non chiudeva bene... Pur essendo una camera praticamente sulla spiaggia, non era per niente accogliente. (O almeno per i miei gusti) Necessiterebbe di una rinnovata generale. L’unica nota positiva è stato il personale...dolce e accomodante. Comunque non ho potuto apprezzare altro perchè la sera stessa che siamo arrivati ce ne siamo andati. Purtroppo ho fatto una scelta sbagliata.

Jó hogy csak két éjszakát voltunk!
Jó helyen levő,elhasználodott,elavult szálloda. Kétfajta reggeliből lehet választani mindennap : vagy tojást vagy thai tésztát, 1(!) deci narancslé vagy gyümölcs , kávé vagy tea. Aki egy hétig itt van mindennap ugyanazt eszi? A kertje szép de medence nincs. Központ 20 perc gyalog( balesetveszélyes, koszos járdán botladozva) Összefoglalva: ez egy drága, jobb napokat látott panzió( nem szálloda!)

部屋を出て10秒でビーチに出られます。 チャウエンビーチの南端なので、騒がしくなくのんびり過ごせました。 特に朝日が最高にキレイでした! スタッフも親切で美味しいカオマンガイのお店や目的地までのトゥクトゥクの相場の金額など教えてくれました。ホテルのカードを持って出たので帰りのトゥクトゥクを頼む時もスムーズでした。 朝食も海が望めるロケーションで、種類もチョイスできます。 シャワーのお湯が出ず、少し温かい水といった温度でしたが気候的に問題なしでした。 コスパもよく、初めてのサムイ島で大満足の宿泊となりました。
