Good location, nice beach and for the partyanimals it’s party with Dj at the pool every night.
I have two minor points its nit allowed to bring your own food or drinks at the pool/beach.
The resort is not far from the airport runway so the planes landing are really noisy and also bit scary especially when you’re still sleeping in the early morning.

Good choice at breakfast. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. I'm not sure if there is much difference in the rooms and whether I was actually in the type of room I booked. The room was a good size, clean but I didn't like the grids on the windows.

Located at the southern end of Chaweng Beach in a quieter side street, this hostel offers a good balance between accessibility and peace. While the surrounding area shows signs of wear like most side streets in Chaweng, the property itself is well-maintained.
Room Quality
The deluxe private room with window features a traditional Thai-style double bed (quite firm) and a compact bathroom. The room is notably small - two people would struggle to pass each other comfortably. Though basic, everything was impeccably clean. The "balcony" is actually just a window opening to the street, but despite proximity to the main road, noise wasn't an issue at night.
Connectivity
Internet was down for two days during my stay, though this was due to heavy rainfall in the area rather than a fault of the property.
Management
Run by a mother-daughter team who maintain strict standards and adherence to rules. They're friendly and accommodating but extremely particular about their property and policies. The manager demonstrated exceptional hospitality by personally driving me to the airport when my taxi failed to arrive - a level of service that truly stands out.
Additional Services
Motorbike Rental: Available but requires passport deposit and they conduct extremely thorough inspections
Laundry Service: Efficient express service completed within 6 hours at reasonable rates
Value Assessment
Excellent value considering the cleanliness and location. The bathroom layout (shower and toilet in same space) is somewhat cramped but functional.
Recommendation
A solid budget accommodation option in Chaweng for travelers who don't mind firm beds and can respect strict house rules. The location offers a good compromise between beach access and avoiding the worst of Chaweng's noise. Best suited for solo travelers given the room size constraints.

Guest review
Really great location for Chaweng, right next to many bars and restaurants, but in a quiet back street. Their beach is fantastic. Above all, the sweet lady who runs the place is a true diamond, and all the staff people are lovely. Bonus if you work remotely as they have a work table enough for two.
A 3-minute walk from Chaweng Beach, Queen Boutique Hotel offers individually styled air conditioned rooms with free WiFi.

Chaweng is heaving with tourists, far too many for me.
Chaweng is heaving with tourists, far too many for me. The traffic both cars and motorbikes are gridlocked with traffic fumes when you have are inevitably stationery. This year the number of rental cars have increased hugely and it can take an hour to go a distance when several years ago only took 15 minutes. Even on a motorbike/scooter it takes a long time to get anywhere.
The pavements are very uneven and I imagine difficult if you have a kids pushchair. Impossible for wheelchair users.
Taxi drivers are very dishonest unless you pre book them. There are many disused shops/buildings that have fell into disrepair that give chaweng a forlorn uncared for ambience unless you are in a luxury hotel.

A pleasant town, nice restaurants, markets and shops. Interesting beaches and generally a very interesting place worth staying. We only recommend staying a little out of the center, at least 500m -1 km, if you want a quiet vacation. If you want fun, book in the center.

Chaweng is good for short visits as its close to the airport. the beach is ok busy and lots of tourists. we ate on the beach and on the main street parallel -which had great deals on fish
don't let taxis rip you off always starting at 500thb always barter - we got a taxi to fisherman's village for 300 definitely go there its lovely and has some nice restaurants.
in evenings walk along the beach if you fancy a party they have fire dancers and clubs further into town.
if you want nightlife you will find it - feels a bit like benidorm in parts - avoid if you want relaxation

Chaweng is a central area of Koh Samui where lots of tourists go for their holidays. There’s plenty of food places to eat at, and you can get a nice relaxing Thai massage on the beach. The water is so refreshing after a hot day sunbathing. Lots of locals walk by trying to sell you things from sunglasses to ice creams to inflatable toys, etc.

The actual resort is quite Benidorm like. Very chavvy, every 10th shop is a cannabis shop which makes it feel very downmarket. Very very busy in evening and very seedy off the main drag if that's your thing.....The pavements were awful, not good for anyone with mobility issues, craters and trip hazards everywhere !! On the upside 100s of good quality restaurants main course £2.50 and quality not seedy massage rooms 1 hour massage £10 or less. Great shopping centre at central Samui just off Chaweng Beach Road. Taxis cheap , 1/3 of UK prices but you have to bargain with drivers. Beer £2 bottle - wine expensive and generally poor. Cocktails cheap.

Unfortunately there are no footpaths to walk safely to and from the hotel to the centre, so you will be reliant on taxis. This is the main shopping centre. There are numerous cafes and bars to choose from.

The rooms are big & clean, nice size pool outside and the staff are really welcoming :)
Good Location close to Chaweng but the area is nice and quiet at night, about 15 minute walk into the center of Chaweng but the buses pass the hotel all the time. There’s some really nice restaurants opposite the hotel and a 7/11 a short walk away. The beach is about a 5 minute walk and there’s lots of resorts on the beach to grab food too.
The bungalows were really cool with a useful porch. the hotel is super close to the beach and the restaurant is on the beachfront. the location in terms of Koh samui is average, there isn’t an excess of things to do without travelling, although the high street is very lively (touristy). this place is perfect if you’re just looking for a budget beach resort. A/C worked well.
The Hotel is in perfect condition. Everything seems pretty new. The equipment of the rooms and the rooms itself are spectacular. The whole resort is a dream. The Staff is more then helpful and friendly. The Hotel is suited at the end of chaweng beach where its not too busy anymore but its still very central but at the same time quite at night. Perfect Experience!
The location is great. It is very close to many restaurants and shops.
The hotel is a very short walk to Samui Central a big shopping center that also includes
a big Tops supermarket.
As you walk out turn left and go through AL's resort and you are on Chaweng beach.
So as for location 10/10. I stayed here twice because of price and location .
The location was very suitable for us as we got to Koh Samui late in the evening with a young family. The resort was clean and the staff was very friendly.
