Chillax Resort
Compare prices
The rooftop pool is the reason to book here. Clear water, a little bar beside it, and a view over the old town that makes the walk back up worthwhile at sunset. Rooms come with whirlpool tubs, which some guests love and others find a bit dated, especially where the bathroom is separated from the bed by a curtain. One reviewer flagged a shower door that didn't close properly and let water out, so give yours a look on arrival.
Location is the other selling point. Thanon Samsen puts you about ten minutes on foot from Khaosan Road, close enough for the noise to be a choice rather than a fact of life. Small restaurants, massage shops and laundries sit within a few steps. Breakfast gets consistent praise, with European and Thai options. Two things to temper expectations: the balconies are decorative and not usable, and service at the pool bar has drawn the odd complaint. Staff elsewhere come across as genuinely helpful.

This place is amazing the beds are so comfy and the jacuzzi tub is so relaxing. Wish they had better channels on the tv but with so much to do in the area you don't have time to watch. The infinity pool on the roof is great with a little bar right by the pool. The water is so clear you can see to the bottom. The food is amazing well priced and so delicious. The have a gym which is a nice perk and a massage place right next to it. You have to book in advance but only 30 mins which isn't bad.
Nice hotel with very good location and own swiming pool on the roof. We spand couple of days there on our way back from Koh Pha Ngan,and we enjoid the location with many small restaurants nearby and legendary KhaoSan road.
The room is a bit weird. There’s a big bath stuff separated from the bedroom by a curtain. Seems like the kind of “fancy” touch best left in the 80s. The shower is separate but the door didn’t close properly, so water leaked. There’s a decent sized pool on the roof with a bar — the barmaid had a right face on her and when I politely asked if she could add some alcohol to a fruit shake, she point blank refused, despite my offering to pay extra. It spoilt the sunset experience. The hotel is somewhat dated and there’s plenty of better options for the price.
