This is not the place you go to for views, luxury or romance. Its definitely a budget guest house, but the rooms are clean, bed is comfortable and there's AC. The staff is also very informative and helpful. If I was on a trip with my girlfriend I probably wouldn't stay here, but it's definitely good for friends trying to... More

This place is clean, centrally located and great value for money. On arrival, they take a good half hour to explain about the island and different trip options with zero attempts to sell you anything. Just give you the info and invitation to book through them. For the first time in Thailand, these guys actually give you discounts from normal... More

We stayed at Captain Nemos for 5 nights and on our arrival Som met us at the 7/11 near the ferry port to walk the small distance (3 mins) back to her guesthouse. Both Som and her husband Philippe were very helpful in offering advice for the island and in general trying to ensure our stay was as good as... More

Fantastic family run guesthouse on Koh Tao. Rooms are spacious with fridge, kettle and t.v/DVD player (everything you could possibly need.) Towels are changed and the bed is re-made on a daily basis, this was the first time in our 3 weeks stay in Thailand this happened! Som & Phillipe were so helpful during our stay, advising us on good... More

Lovely clean room, excellent facilities and the customer service was unbeatable. Good location near the harbour and plenty of nice resturants and bars nearby. Was a nice touch having a large selection of DVDs you could borrow. Enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend!

The lady who runs Captain Nemo,'Som' she's great and she seems to know everyone and everywhere on the island. She will definitely go out of her way to help you settle in and have a great time on the rock. The rooms were good - everything you could possibly need including a decent A/C. We spent five nights at Captain... More

However som was very honest and helpful in helping us to find a good deal with a diving company and hotel. She enquired about our exact wants, made several phone calls to... More

Captain Nemo was good for arrival in Mae Haad. We stayed there for 2 nights which gave us time to orient ourselves and move on. They have 5 rooms, all to the back of the street, so it is really quiet. Som is a very friendly person who is always there to help out on anything you need. No matter... More

My Fiance and I recently stayed here for 4 nights in February 2013. Upon arriving on the island we were met by the owner's wife Som at the pier, who graciously walked us back to the hotel, which was only 5 minutes from the pier. Upon checking in we were taken to our room which was more than adequate. The... More
