Had 1 night at Ampha Place and couldn't fault it. The owners were extremely friendly and made me feel welcome. The bed was the most comfortable I experienced in Thailand, good choice of tv channels and a pool (though didn't use it). Mae Nam was a bit disappointing but I'd recommend About Cafe for a brilliant brekky!

Some of the nicest hotel rooms I've ever encountered in Thailand. Beds were big and comfortable, wi-fi was free and fast, bathrooms clean, TV had a few English channels, air conditioner worked well however they are placed above the door which is totally inefficient but that's their problem, not yours. All rooms face the pool which was not only convenient... More

Build and owned by a Swiss man, this 12 room hotel is a little piece of Switzerland on Samui. Both the rooms and the swimming pool are kept spotless clean. the staff is helpful and friendly, and the owner goes the extra mile to keep his guests happy. The beach is just a 5 minute walk away. With the kind... More

I stayed here for 6 nights in the 2nd half of July - this was my first trip to Asia. The hotel is located along the quieter Mae Nam coast, just between the main ring road & Miskawaan Resort. The beach is only a 1min walk away via Miskawaan or the Moonhut Bungalows down the road to the right as... More

Ampha Place is a nice, clean and bright little hotel with helpful friendly owners. We stayed here for four nights but were glad we had booked another hotel in Chaweng Beach for the rest of our holiday as the nice hotel did not make up for the fact Mae Nam was very quiet and boring in the evening. If you... More
