Glam Habitat Hotel Kamala Beach (SHA Extra+)

Absolutely loved this hotel !! If there was a rating beyond 5 stars, would have definitely given 5+ stars. The location was just perfect, just 2 mins walk from Kamala beach. The hotel staff was just so courteous, hospitality is exceptionally great. They make you feel at home. The suite was amazing - luxurious, with ocean view and a relaxing plunge pool. The breakfast buffet was gorgeous, enjoyed the spread. Overall perfect in all aspects, excellent stay, recommended to all my friends.

This hotel charges over $300 per night, and unfortunately it did not represent good value for money. While there were some positives, the overall experience felt significantly overpriced for what was offered.||Pros:|The apartment-style suite was large and spacious, which was appreciated. Room service did an excellent job keeping the room very clean throughout the stay. The hotel is also very close to the beach, which is convenient, and the staff were consistently friendly and polite.||Cons:|The hotel is located on a very busy main road, and a significant amount of road noise could be heard inside the hotel. When leaving the property, you are forced to walk along the edge of the road as there are no footpaths, which feels unsafe.|Although the rooms are filled with modern, high-tech equipment, much of it did not work properly. Some issues were resolved by staff, but others could not be fixed during our stay, which was disappointing given the price point.|We were on a room-only basis but tried breakfast one morning. It was mediocre at best — bland, lukewarm, and poor value for money, especially when far better and cheaper breakfast options are available nearby.|At check-in, a 3,000 THB deposit was required in cash only. This was inconvenient and unnecessary, especially as most hotels accept card deposits without issue.|Finally, the corridors and hallways are extremely dark. There are curtains covering emergency exit stairwells, which are unclear and cluttered with obstructions. This raised some safety concerns.|Summary:|Overall, this is a reasonable hotel, but it is approximately 30% overpriced for what it offers. At the current price point, I would not consider staying here again.

Great hotel. The staff is wonderful and their English is good enough to communicate the basics. Walking distance to kamala market, beach and Magic Carnival. Be aware that walking to some close places involve in walking on the road margins and crossing road needs cautious. Very good breakfast. Comfortable beds. We took a room with a pool and two bedrooms. We didn’t use the pool because the weather was disappointing. In the smaller bedroom, the streamer/TV box didn’t work properly, but we didn’t use it anyway, so we didn’t ask the staff for help because we didn’t want to bother with it. Overall, definitely worth the price.

I booked the Glam due to the reviews but was shocked upon arrival. We left after one full day of a 4 night stay despite no refund! The Glam Habitat had very little to no value for the room rate they charge. I’m an experienced traveler of many years and have been in Asia for the past 7 weeks in many hotels. This is BY FAR the worst one I’ve ever stayed! First off, they require a CASH deposit upon checking in….no advance notice, no credit cards, no exceptions! It is located on an extremely busy, multi-lane road leading to an amusement park. The noise of the cars, motorcycles, and sirens is deafening and the walls of the hotel do not block it making it difficult to sleep in the very uncomfortable and cheap bed they have in the room. The entire property is dirty from ceiling to floor everywhere. The breakfast buffet was very poor quality and really suspect given the lack of clean serving dishes, disgustingly dirty coffee maker, puddles of liquid left on the floor, greasy smudges on glass walls/doors, etc. The breakfast staff do not seem happy to assist guests. The shuttle driver is extremely rude. Hallways are completely lined with solid black curtains giving the feel of a Halloween haunted house or worse. The room was spacious but very dated decor and definitely not cleaned properly. The water pressure and temperature were inadequate. There is a major construction site to one side of the property and a facility with a loud speaker directly behind. Moreover, the pool directly between the two buildings adds to the chaos when kids start to get loud and sound bouncing into every room. If you like to watch news while abroad, forget it at the Glam….no TV channels at all. You can only connect to Netflix. This was definitely a HUGE waste of money….DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!

A nice hotel, for the price it was good. Breakfast was actually really good and hit the spot. The AC in our room was a bit temperamental but spacious rooms. TV’s in living area and room. Sofa felt a bit worn in. Rooms were a bit dark too. Patio doors to the outside didn’t feel very sturdy, I reckon I could have broken them quite easily but was only here 2 nights and there was a lock on the room door so it was ok for a temp stay. Bathroom was 10/10, best shower at the hotels I’ve been too. I would stay again tbh

Overall, the stay was okay. The place was clean and spacious, which I appreciated. However, the apartment itself was quite dark, and the pool didn’t get any sunlight, so the water was cold. On days with a lot of rain and no sun, it felt especially chilly. Another downside is that the area next to the pool doesn’t have any seating or furniture, which makes it inconvenient if you’re staying with a group and want to spend time outside. On the positive side, the breakfast was buffet-style and turned out to be much better than I expected.

Our stay at Glam Habitat in Kamala was truly exceptional. The hotel has a perfect location – just a short walk from the beach, in a peaceful area but still close to restaurants and shops. The room was spacious, modern, and very well equipped, and the private pool was a huge bonus, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The staff deserve special mention – always smiling, friendly, and ready to help with anything. Housekeeping was done regularly and very thoroughly, keeping everything spotless throughout our stay. This place combines comfort, luxury, and a warm atmosphere. I would gladly come back and can highly recommend Glam Habitat to anyone looking for a special hotel in Kamala.

The hotel is located less than 100m from Kamala Beach. It's a smaller boutique hotel, so not too busy..The rooms to the main road can get a fair bit of road noise, but the rooms away from the road are fine. The villas are also away from the road and are great. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Great service. There is a small restaurant on-site with Thai and international cuisine. Breakfast is served there as well. The rooms and villas modern and spacious. Staying at the hotel isn't cheap, but that keeps the noisier party crowd away. Be aware that there's no footpath along the short bit of main road one must walk before turning into Kamala Beach. So, you will walk on the side of a busy road for about 30m.
