The Gallery Hotel
Compare prices
The Gallery Hotel sits along Klong Prao Beach on Koh Chang, one of the island's most popular and accessible stretches of coastline. Housed in a modern building, the hotel offers a relaxed, casual atmosphere suited to travellers looking for a straightforward base from which to explore the island. Guests have access to an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and two bars — including a rooftop bar that makes for a convenient spot to unwind in the evenings with views over the surroundings. The hotel positions itself as a mid-range option on the island, with amenities that cover the essentials without venturing into resort-level luxury. The rooftop bar is among the more distinctive features, offering a casual social space that sets it apart from simpler guesthouses in the area. The on-site restaurant provides added convenience for those who prefer to eat close to their accommodation. With a mixed reception among past guests, The Gallery Hotel may suit travellers who prioritise location and amenities over polished service or premium finishes. Klong Prao Beach itself is a strong draw, known for its relatively calm atmosphere compared to the busier Hat Sai Khao (White Sand Beach) further north. Prospective guests are advised to check recent reviews and confirm room types directly through the hotel's website before booking, as experiences can vary. The hotel is best suited to those comfortable with a casual, no-frills style of stay.
