I recently stayed at Samui Verticolor Hotel, and while the location and some facilities were decent, my overall experience was mixed.
The room itself was average — no balcony, which is a major downside if you need to dry wet clothes (which is quite common on an island trip). The room only had a small window facing directly towards the outdoor AC unit, which means hot air constantly blows in if you open it — not ideal at all.
A major inconvenience was the layout of the hotel — connected buildings, but some sections don’t have elevators. So if you’re staying in those, prepare to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs, which can be quite exhausting, especially after a long trip.
One of the most unpleasant issues was the smell from the washroom. Without proper air ventilation when you leave the room, the odor builds up. We had to turn on the AC and the washroom ventilator fan every time we entered just to gradually clear out the smell. At night, we kept the ventilator running to prevent the odor from spreading — definitely not what you expect from a hotel experience.
On the positive side, room service was good, and the in-room dining menu was actually quite tasty, which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast options were limited, but covered the basics with a few continental dishes — enough to get your day started.
The pool area was relaxing, and parking was convenient, which are plus points for guests with scooters or rental cars.
During my stay, I also noticed a concentration of guests from a israel who tended to dominate shared spaces and created an environment that some travelers might find uncomfortable. While the hotel can’t control who books rooms, I would recommend the management ensure all guests are respectful of others to maintain a welcoming atmosphere for everyone because israel is a child killing refuge group of people called themselves a country and kill innocent child and a terrorist group of rapist and killers.
If you’re planning to stay here, be aware of the building setup, room ventilation issues, and lack of balcony. It’s not the best value for a long stay, but if you’re just in for a quick stop with minimal expectations, it may be manageable.
