This is a very sad place. The architect obviously had some great ideas, the hotel is small enough to provide privacy, the position is great in a quiter area right on Chaweng beach , BUT there is apparently NO management. The grounds are in a terrible state with pools of stagnant water and unmown grass, untrimmed shrubs and therefore lots... more

We almost stayed at the Muang Kulaypan! Upon arrival we were SO disappointed by the grounds, the tiny pool, the unfriendly staff and the smelly little room that we left! We had just spent four nights at the New Star Beach Resort in Chaweng Noi (which we highly recommend) with extended family and decided to book something romantic just for... more

I was a little apprehensive having read mixed reviews of the hotel after making my booking. Yes, it does not live up to expectations of what a "hip design" boutique hotel should be (for that you should check out the Library further down the road), and it looked a little worn and tired. BUT. My room (i had a standard)... more

Recently we stayed at this hotel while we were travelling around Thailand. We booked it during our trip, as we had no idea how long we were going to stay in each destination. From all the hotels we stayed at - this was by far the best. This property is small, and it's one of the thing's that makes it... more

I went to Kulaypan Hotel in August 2007 for about one week. After having read some of the bad reviews on Tripadvisor, I admit I was a bit scared about my choice. Indeed I found the hotel a fantastic place to be in the noisy and crowded Chaweng Beach! It is a boutique hotel, with very nice stylish equipped Thai... more

I have just come back from Thailand and have stayed in some amazing hotels (best was Siam @ Siam in Bangkok which was the best I have ever stayed in in case anyone is interested), but this place was, well, not one of them. It was in short dissappointing! Considering what else is available in Chaweng I just can't understand... more

Most disappointing "hip" hotel we've ever stayed at. We are absolutely bewildered as to why Lonely Planet recommend it, maybe they confused it with Muang Samui. It's very uninspiring and overpriced - looks nothing more than an old hotel which has had some décor updates in the rooms, which are very minimalist in design with black tiled bathrooms. We had... more

First off, I have absolutely no idea where the bad reviews of this hotel seem to originate from as I can genuinely say that this is the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in. It really blew me away. My partner and I decided to spend 2 nights at this hotel and as I am currently 4 months pregnant,... more

The design is contemporary and sexy and yet the service is warm & hospitable. Also the location on north Chaweng beach is perfect for a short stroll to the lively collection of bars, cafes and restaurant on the beach or to hire water sporting equipments. However the Hotel is secluded from the hustle and bustle of backpackers. I would highly... more
