Welcome to. . . The Library,
Chaweng Beach - Koh Samui


The Library Project is a new conceptual resort located in the heart of Chaweng Beach, Ko Samui. The project was originated by Kasemtham Sornsong, a land owner, to develop an inherited piece of land to be more efficient as well as preserve existing nature as much as possible.
With his passionate in hospitality industry, proven by a success of his first Spa, Four Seasons Tropical Spa, together with his strong intention to start up his own resort to fulfil his dream. Consequently, after the Spa has reached to a stable stage, he teamed up with his consultants establishing the project.

The piece of land is approx. 4 Rai or 6,400 square metres with 50-metre beachfront area. Apart from an idea to preserve existing nature on the site, the project was inspired by the basic way of life and our belief that 'the real happiness is not complicated at all'.
At every beach destination, you may notice that number of tourists/travelers lie down on the beach, sun-bathing, reading their books or you will see pocket books in their beach bags or on the mattresses. That behavior is so simple, easy-going and giving a feeling of free and relaxation. These activities are our inspiration and become our ideal concept to build a smart-relaxing place where guests can indulge in a very unique atmosphere to actualize their holiday experience. And that's how The Library; came into our mind.
'An Exotic Smart Concept' is a conclusion of our project design. Semi-minimalist architecture is our solution as it provides a very simple architecture and interior which has a balance with surrounding nature. To complement with architecture style, a smart interactive between staff and guests is added up to ensure that the right combination of both facilities and staff will create a perfect blend of the project.

As for atmosphere within the Project, we set a tone of feeling to be a cool smart-relaxing place with attractive appearance and interesting theme. Green from grass in our garden decorated with art pieces and sculptures will be key element for our landscape. White theme of the building by the beach, a vivid red swimming pool overlooking to the sea and grey tone of the Restaurant - these are visualized overview concept of the Project.
The Library Building consists of three box-style units adjoining together where the middle box is an open-air serving as a mini-cafe. The other two boxes are the huge library for not only books but also other entertainment media such as music CD, movie DVD.
Accommodation
There are only 26 units of accommodation within 4 Rais of land consisting of 13 Studio type and 13 Suites. Total area of each unit is 68.50 sq.m for Studio and 76.50 sq.m for Suite. Every room has a chance to get close to nature of tropical garden and glimpse of sea views
The Studio Type (68.50 sq.m.)
is situated on the upper floor of each accommodation unit. Total area is divided into three area i.e. master bedroom with living corner, 15 sq.m. of balcony , and bathroom with dressing area. Lively tone of colors of fabric works in our interior design aimed to enhance the ambience pleasure. We believe that young couples or honeymooners will feel relax and cozy with this room type.
The Suite type is more suitable for guests who prefer to stay close
to the earth and require suitable space to read and write during their
stay.

Each room can enjoy a glimpse of sea view as well as tropical garden and a shade of high huge old trees.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Library. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the facility was beautiful. The sundeck, pool, and beach were perfect. We especially loved the quietness in the midst of a busy tourist area.

Fantastic design with lots of really clever and eye catching features. A little oasis in the midst of bustling Chaweng. The rooms were terrific, although it was a shame that the storage space for clothes was so limited and that there were no bedside lights- although these are small points. The pool \ bean beds\ were fantastic, the laptop in the room a real plus, and the bar by the beach marvellous, not to mention eye catching. Food in the restaurant is terrific althoug, compared to other Chaweng restaurants, probably a little on the expensive side.
Reservation service:
Excellent and hassle free. Everything worked according to plan.

Accommodation and facilities:
The Library is a very stylized and minimalist oasis in the madness of Chaweng Beach. It's ideal if you are looking for a very lowkey escape with very very close mayhem nearby. I loved my stay .. A few minor complaints include that the operator was not particularly helpful in connecting a call to room service or to the spa. On the plus side, this hotel is so unique and each room has so many great amenties.

Accommodation and facilities:
Overall hotel is great. Rooms and pool/beach areas are first class and provide the luxury resort experience we were hoping for. Breakfast was great until they changed to buffet style part way through our stay and was only average thereafter. Hotel does not do the little things you may expect in this price range such as providing cold towels through the day so if this bothers you you may be best to look elsewhere. We really enjoyed our stay however and would recommend the hotel provided you are prepared to part with some serious cash.
Reservation service:
Very easy and no problems again. Always use SiamWebHosting for Thailand trips.

Accommodation and facilities:
Excellent Hotel, despite in Chaweng Beach, it's quite exclusive and quiet. Despite the minimal design, the rooms are very well appointed. It's also extremely convenient with lots of nice restaurant in walking distance. Did not have any problem with the service and unlike earlier guest, had not problems with communications with the staff. Only complaint, no massage service within the hotel. Would definitely go back, sooner rather than later.
Reservation service:
Very smooth, no problems. As mentioned in some previous reviews, i believe siamwebhosting.com offers the best rates, which includes service charge and tax (10% + 7% repectively). Most other on-line rates do not include s/c & tax.

Excellent minimalist design atmosphere, extremely tasteful. Management dreadful, however: I was travelling alone, which they considered reason to give me a speech on arrival about guests not being allowed (I assumed they meant Thai prostitutes and was not concerned). Since I was paying the full price for two persons and a (British) friend of mine who had been diving on Koh Tao would be on Koh Samui for a few days, I announced that he would be sharing my room: they immediately insisted I pay an extra THB 1,600 on top of the full double-room price and it took a great deal of effort to persuade them otherwise. Nevertheless, I d go back there any time.

A beautiful design hotel with lovely big rooms and good location – this you can’t take away. But the staffs do hardly speak English and the service is NOT after the price level!! A hotel only for people who travel light because there are no place to put your suitcase or things. Typical – great design – but forgotten that things has to be usable too. The Suites are not recommendable because they are more or less the same as the studios and they all have no views there they are in the ground floor. So I recommend the studios!
Reservation service:
We had a very bad experience at The Library. First we booked for 2 nights with no problem and then we decided to stay one more night after arrival. We paid again though SiamWebHosting there this is much cheaper as anywhere else. (What really important is to see if taxes are included in the prices – this can be up to 18 % cheaper) Well the hotel got mad about that we didn’t pay directly tough them at the hotel and cancel our booking at SiamWebHosting. They said that first you are checked in at the hotel you can no more use SiamWebHosting for booking. We have never heard anything like this before – so remember to book all the nights you want before cheking in! SiamWebHosting shut also contact their client better when things like this happens.
