Souksan Hotel

Flash but charmless

What we say:

With the flashest digs in Don Dhet, this is the closest thing you'll get to luxury on the island. The high priced rooms here are clearly designed to switch to air-con, if and when electricity reaches here. The well sized rooms, while being among the cleanest on the island, are somewhat staid and charmless. The proprietor is a cheery and very chatty lady (on a good day), but there are other spots on the island that have more character. However, if cleanliness is your number one criteria, then look no further -- the Souksan is spotless.

Decent Place, but...

Stayed one night in February, 2008. Decent rooms, great views, had a private bathroom which I liked. The staff tried to overcharge for a tour, boat tickets (which I ended up booking elsewhere) and then tried to charge me more for the room than what the owner & I originally agreed on. Ask to see the rooms, and then bargain on the price. The first price quoted will be quite high.

Unhappy Souksan

We stayed for three nights in mid February -- partly because of overbooking elsewhere on Don Dhet and partly because of laziness in the heat! The uncharming lady was charging US$11 for a double with fan with shared bathroom -- a significant increase to what is stated here on Travelfish. Although our room had a lovely view and was indeed clean, the smell from the nearby toilets didn't compliment the views. The atmosphere was non existent as most people seemed to keep themselves to themselves, or go elsewhere to eat and drink. A few others we met also stayed as short as possible before moving on to somewhere with lots more character for a fraction of the price.
