First Residence was clean and friendly during our stay. We were reluctant to book more than one night due to so many other places letting us down. This place did not. Unfortunately, the hotel was booked the next few nights. The rooms were well thought out and comfortable. We also got a deal which was nice, but this place is... More

The rooms were medium sized, clean and did the job and the pool was also nice. The location was far from the main tourist strip, so we had to get a cab or scooter. The staff kept to themselves and weren't overly helpful but there was free internet in the 'lobby'. The breakfasts were terrible and they didn't restrict outside... More

Stayed for a week and were really happy. The rooms are big and spacious with a large balcony. It has all the amenities you'll need. The bathroom has a nice bath and showers. Rooms are maintained to a high standard by the cleaners. We only used the restaurant once as for some reason it closed at 3pm everyday. Wifi throughout... More

1. Very clean rooms, and lovely looking hotel. 2. Efficient and quick check in 3. Location is not great - it's right on the end of the beach, a bit of a walk from the main hub (which is ok if you don't mind walking or you hire a motorbike which we did) 4. Staff were friendly and helpful (my... More

But the staff.. man.. the staff is terrible. Some of the try to be nice but cant really speak English. The woman that seemed to be the responsible was the worse one,... More

But better to book more centrally to... More

Really modern rooms, lovely hotel in central location in Chaweng. Lots of restaurants in chawing to chose from. The pool area is quite small so we used the sister hotel pool round the corner, the First House which was bigger and had more sun. Would not hesitate to recommend.
