It's a little oasis in the middle of a crowded great beach. Everything is on your doorstep however the boutique resort is peaceful with lovely trees and the red pool beach area is a WOW ! Also the food is amazing. I will return for sure.

We've visited samui many times over the last 10 years and since the library was built always said we wanted to try. The resort is small, looks nice from the outside, nice pool and restaurant ( with lovely food). We were really disappointed with the room though. We were travelling with a baby and were put in a room up... More

Didn't have the chance to stay here myself but visited friends who were. The Library is in an excellent location and very private considering the busy surroundings of Chaweng. Rooms are spotless and have every amenity you can think of. Own computer, lounge area with shutters to access the garden amazing aspects throughout the rooms and everything you think you... More

It's been over a year that I had visited this property, but the awesome red pool reminds me of the place again and again. Also this contemporary boutique hotel is located at a very good location of Koh Samui. The beach is clean and maintained by the hotel. We had a great evening where they serve cocktails on the beach,... More

I am a traveler that loves to be pampered, but can also do the 'when in 3rd world' deal with it etc. I love great accomodations and service, but love value and don't like to overspend. For Thailand, this place is higher in the pricing, but it is the TOP hotel in Koh Samui period. They miss nothing- bed is... More

This is one of the coolest, design hotels I ever saw. Unfortunately, it is located in Chaweng, a long, crowded beach, lined by a long street filled with tourists’ traps (restaurants and shops selling fake goods). The main attraction of the Library is the red pool, which is indeed very eye-catching. The rooms are called “pages” and they even have... More

Minuses: - pricy; - complicated usage of rooms (light, electricity) - a little noisy cause of planes early morning; - service could be... More

We really enjoyed The Library. Lovely rooms. Lovely Space. Lovely vibe. Rooms are very modern with a nice outdoor area. Lots of quirky bits of art everywhere and the restaurant, The Page, is really good as well. If you're lusting after some beefburgers after all that Tom Yam and Lab Gai then this is the place. Didn't use the pool... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Library is a stunning conceptual hotel built in a semi-minimalist architectural design, located at the heart of Chaweng Beach. Shaped by the hands of an island local who was inspired by books and a simple lifestyle philosophy, the property has now become an international icon of style and was recently recognized by Tripadvisor as the number one trendiest hotel in Thailand (2012).The Library offers its guests a total of 26 unique accommodations in the form of Exotic Suites located on the ground floor, Smart Studios on the upper levels, and a new ultra-luxurious unit called the Bookmark which is set to launch by October 2012. Interspersed with age-old trees and various works of art, The Library and its surroundings boast a balance of nature and culture. Interiors bathed in a minimalist palette are completed with modern facilities such as 42-inch plasma screen televisions, iPod touch, and iMAC computers with high-speed Internet connection. True to the belief that a perfect holiday equals an opportunity to enjoy one good novel, guests are invited to browse through the well-curated collection of books at The Lib, which gives The Library its distinctive name. An award-winning restaurant called The Page is also open for all-day dining, and the new Drink Gallery whips up an artistic blend of good food, warm vibes and the island’s most fantastic drinks. ... more   less
