Kata Bai D - SHA Certificate Hotel

Staff are the best part of this hotel. Sam made us feel welcome and helped us organise the trip months before our actual trip. On the trip, I got badly sick (very upset stomach), I won’t sugarcoat it, I didn’t make it to my room and got sick on the stairs, staff were so understanding. Sam even made me a generous bowl of white rice to get me something to eat. Deng (I think is the name of the lady who welcomed us) was so lovely and also showed genuine interest in helping us during our stay. Toast, jam, water and coffee was available 24hrs a day and the aircon in the rooms was very good. Also, 5m walk to an amazing surf beach. If you want to feel safe and in a community-like place, book Kata Bai D Inn.

Beds were probably a bit hard, and there was no lift (although the no lift is not really a problem when you travel light)

Sam is an awesome host! I appreciated the coffee!

Great people, great staff, great times! San and his wife are genuinely kind and generous people. From the rooftop shower to the complimentary toast 24hrs a day! This place really is a gem 💎 Having a motorbike will help getting around much faster.

The staff are incredibly warm and caring. The hotel is located very close to a beautiful beach.

Taxis to Patong can be expensive, but if you want to spend a lot of time there, you wouldn't pick the Kata area. Hot water for the shower ran out sometimes, but it was never super cold.

Location. Location. Location. I don't think it is possible to stay this close to Kata Beach (a stone's throw away) while still escaping the hustle & bustle of main street. Sam, his family, & his team keep the place spotless. They are friendliness & helpfulness personified. If you want a quiet, minimalist, yet solid place to stay; look no further.

Always clean, so many things we can have for free, especially water, good location close to both beaches, and fanatic staff!

Lobby is open which is nice but the road is so busy that it is loud, no trouble sleeping but again loud if you are next to the road

I love how accommodating Sam is. He was very responsive on my inquiries via WhatsApp. Deng takes good care of me and went above and beyond in making sure I am comfortable. Meow the night duty receptionist is also very helpful.

I wasn't given information beforehand that my room is on the 4th floor and that there's no elevator on the building. Only 2 working electric fans at the lounge/reception area. More is needed as the weather is very hot and humid. Oven toaster needs to be repaired or replaced. 2 bulbs in the room isn't working.

The caring nature of the staff was everything to write home about. Sam made us feel like a valued guest.

The first room we stayed at was quite noisy but he warned us, since the hotel was fully booked and on our last night, upon request, we got a new room that was much quieter.
