4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

Went there back in 2009, we stayed in two different hotels in Koh Samui as my hubby (then boyfriend) wanted to stay in a model chic hotel like the Library and I wanted something more 'Thai'. We were not disappointed by The Library, design is minimal and sleek. Good location where one can walk around to explore the area easily... More

Been to so many hotels in Chaweng, and The Library totally stands out. Its hip and trendy rooms, the entire Library theme, red tiled swimming pool, immaculately clean sand and hotel grounds, as well as its direct access to the beach make it an unparalleled destination in itself. If other hotels in Chaweng are so predictably Thai, this one is... More

I begin by acknowledging my bias against this location because I hate boozy beachside locations. We had to move here from the nearby quieter island to ensure we could catch our flight to Bangkok. The smell up and down the street was as offensive to the nose as the passing parade of high decibel vehicles spruking nightclubs and fights were... More

This is a relatively new boutique hotel on chewang (I actually stayed on this property 10 years ago when they were $20/night fan/cold water bungalows!). Location is excellent as it is walking distance to all the major nightlife attractions/restaurants on chewang, but designed in such a way that once on the property you are removed from all of the action...

It's all about quality and details at the library. Whether your in your room, by the pool or in the restaurant it's all first class service, style and thoughtfulness. To balance my review, I must say I wish the coffee was better. It's kind of a French style frothy coffee, not the real Italian style micro foam cup that would... More
