Cant wait to come back
by Dora Spuriga from Budapest, Hungary, 6 Feb 06
It is a perfect place for this money. The room is ok, the staff is kind. The beach is great, and the location is excellent. Have a good time here, we come back for sure.

Overall very pleasant experience!
by Anonymous User from San Francisco, CA USA, 29 May 06
Great stay. Excellent pool! Very comfy bed. Clean. Friendly staff. Most spoke English well. Great food. Beautiful gardens. Good A/C.
Only qualm is that the toilet didn't flush every few days, probably septic tank needed to be emptied out more often. We had to keep asking for them
to empty (which would stink) but once I made it clear that I didn't want to ask again it was fine.
Overall very pleasant experience, sad to leave, would stay there again.
Also, around this time of year (May) ocean water in front of hotel very warm (we chose to spend our time in the pool right on the beach), shallow, and extremely (almost disturbingly) calm. No jet skis a plus -- great for kids. 5
minutes walk north *very* low water, not as appealing. A couple minutes walk south a lot more jet skis, water a little deeper (thighs instead of shins). 15 minutes further walk south there's actual small waves, quite nice.

Decidedly Average
by Patrick Hounsell from NZ, 29 Aug 05
For what the room was described as it was quite small, for the money charge. We had to move 2 chairs outside to have enough room to lay out our suitcases.
The setting was nice, but bar prices were expensive. Louvre in the bathroom and faulty catches on the windows in the room meant that there was a mosquito problem.
The air-conditioning unit came with the Ark and didn't really cool the room.
Staff should put up a sign at the pool that leaving a towel on a deckchair is not enough to reserve a place. We went down at 3PM one day and there were 5 people on deckchair and 20 empty with towels on them and none spare! Europe has come to Thailand!
I will look elsewhere next year.

Pretty Good
by Cassandra Harris from Australia, 25 Jul 06
The Montien House is in a pretty good location; you can lie on the poolside chairs and not get hassled by hawkers b/cos you're up a level, or you can walk about 5 mins down to the "real" beach (the bit it is on has some weird concrete structure about 100m out).
The breakfast is OK but I wouldn't recommend to eat there otherwise; they don't understand requests and the food is totally average. Our bungalow (the most basic one) was large and good, however, the toilet seemed to be leaking and the daily cleanings weren't very clean!!
You can rent jeeps (800 B/day) or motos (200 B/day) from there, but don't buy your full moon party tix from them, they price is jacked up 300B! Get your laundry done next door, 40B/kilo.
Overall, Montien is a pretty good place to stay for the money. The grounds are also quite beautiful.

I recommend it.
by Anonymous User, 26 Aug 06
Very nice place to stay. Central location in Chaweng but very very quiet. Very lovely rooms. We were staying for four nights, finally we stayed three more nights. Rooms very very nice, and service too. We'll return again.
The only bad thing is that the beach in front wasn't the best for swimming, but in 5 minutes walk by the sea, perfect places.

Fantastic Hotel!
by Anonymous User from Australia, 24 Jul 06
Montien House has a great location as it is right on the beach and right next to the shops on the main street. The suite rooms are very spacious with a very nice separate lounge room. The pool is only small, but is still very nice and overlooks the beach!

Good Visit
by Tidarat Klangthin from Bankok, 6 Nov 06
I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and the location was far enough off of the street that there were no problems. The breakfast was good and there were always people around in case I needed anything.
The only real complaint is that there was way too much chlorine in the swimming pool, it took my eyes a day and a bottle of medicine to recover. The beach was very nice but it would have been nice if there weren't so many hawkers trying to sell junks all the time, if you even looked up from trying to relax there was someone there, and the one night we ate dinner on the beach there was a continuous procession of sellers.
But the room was cleaned on a daily basis, the air conditioning worked and the bathroom was clean. So I would recommend this hotel, and if I go back it will be one of the first places I consider staying.
