The hotel location is ok in Chaweng, very convenient to go for shopping, dining, travelling around. The staffs are very nice, helpful, and informative. The hotel is one of seven design hotels in Thailand. So, the design is exceptional. The room decoration and bath room are white, very clean and hygienic. The swimming pool is red, very different from what I experienced else where. The hotel has only 26 rooms, so it’s very private and exclusive. They also have a wine buffet for just 450THB per hour. It is a great value for the wine lover like me.
Good location, good design, very good style
The parking lot is not enough.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Hotel is directly accessible to beach. Sipping wines on the red cushion provided by hotel is great!
I love this hotel!Guest Rating: 4.7

I really love its unique design throughout the hotel, and The Library gave me a very different experience for staying in a hotel.
Because staying in The Library made me feel like home, and it inspired me for wanting to have my future home design and feel like this.
I also love its location, because it has its own beach area, and is located on the main busy street at Chaweng Beach, very convenient for doing some shopping and finding a good restaurant around the area.
Comfortable bed, good location, big room, and good design look and feeling.
None.
- Travel tip : It’s very convenient to have a rental motorbike while stay on the island, I rented my motorbike in a travel agency where you walk out The Library and turn left, and it’s on the left side of the street. It costs me THB400 for two days rental (was THB250/day), and you need to let them keep your passport until you returned the motorbike, so I suggested rent from licensed travel agency instead of personal local store.

We could have stayed weeks at the Library. The rooms are modern and simple, yet sophisticated and extrememly comfortable. The lines are pure, the furniture is made out of beautiful material and the king size bed is a dream to sleep in.
The bathroom was equipped with a jacuzzi tub and walk in Italian shower. The room itself had 24h internet access on imac as well as a flat screen TV with DVD player. IDeal since the whole concept of the hotel is based on being able to borrow movies, books and CDs from the library.
The staff was extremely helpful yet non invasive and made our stay a very relaxing and laid back experience.
The red pool and the beach front bar are great places to relax. The atmosphere of the whole hotel makes you forget you're in busy touristy samui. A real haven.
- secluded resort in the middle of busy noisy samui: calm and relaxe"d feel
- beautiful modern architecture
- friendly yet non invasive staff
- beautiful decor int he bed rooms
- amazing simple bathrooms
- library concept: free books, Dvds; miusic and 24h internet in the room on imac
- food is okay but over priced considering the quality and taste of the products
- the SPA is okay but nothing to write home about.
