Montien House Hotel

Lovely tropical gardens and bungalows

I picked this place from the internet and wasnt disappointed even though I'd read some good and bad reports of this place. Firstly, we stayed in the superior bungalows which are detatched and are lovely, you have tiled floor, comfortable bed with tasteful furnishings, bathroom and our own patio/verandah with table and chairs. The standard bungalows looked good too, the main difference being that they were attatched to each other. The pool at this hotel is small and there is a small area for pool lounges but you have to pick which side u will sit on if you want to get the sun as there are lots of trees that create shade. There is also pool lounges to use on the beach in front of the pool which is good.The breakfasts were good, especially if u get your eggs cooked how you like them,. not a big variety buffet but we found it very acceptable for the price.Montien House is an animal friendly hotel so they dont poison the street dogs and cats(our main reason for staying there) So we made friends with a local dog and cats and bought food for them every day and we didnt get into any trouble when at breakfast time, our dog came with us for a piece of bacon each morning as a treat.
Please if you stay here, put a donation in the box at the reception for the Koh Samui Animal Shelter which is run by a German lady. The only shelter on the island and they provide free treatment for all animals.
The position of this hotel is great, just a walk out of the lane and you are in amongst the shops of Chaweng Beach,,,,,,,When its gets dark, walk along the beach and visit the many resturants and bars that are set up on the sand nightly.
We would definatly stay here again, we preferred it to the bigger resort places, the staff are friendly, great location and great price.

Unique Quality: Great location on Chaweng shopping strip and beach.
