"I was searching for a nice airport hotel and came across meet boutique. This hotel is 5 to 10 minutes from surat thani airport. And it is a delight in names of airport hotels. The young and very friendly owners made our stay great. It was just open for two weeks. A little hidden park with very clean and well decorated rooms. And ‘a great for kids’ beautiful swimmingpool. When we arrived we noticed that we forgot a bag at the airport. The owners rushed us back and they found our bag! Super ! They don’t have dinner facilities but they ordered a KFC dinner (kids really wanted this..) for us. In the morning a nice breakfast and we were off to bangkok. This was a very nice sleepover in Sura Thani and we can reccomend this!"

"This was the perfect hotel for a night or two before flying out of Surat Thani airport. It’s a bit further away from the airport, but totally worth it as it’s quite a bit cheaper and they provide a free airport drop off. The staff there is very friendly and helpful. They offer free breakfast and have a small restaurant for dinner and lunch. They sell snacks and offer free coffee and crackers every day. They also had games like Uno and dominoes in the lobby! In short, they provide everything needed for a short stopover before flying. The decorations were cute and tasteful, and the room was nice. AC worked well and the shower was hot. Location is on the highway, but there is a restaurant or two nearby. Would highly recommend staying here if you need an airport hotel in Surat Thani! "

"We booked this hotel only for a night between a flight and our next travel. The hotel far exceeded our expectations! We have stayed in many different hotels (including high-end 5+star hotels) and this has been the best value and one of the best in service. We arrived late, and the restaurant was able to prepare a small meal and even cut our fruit plate into heart and flower shapes! It is definitely out of the city, but we were not there for that experience so it was perfect for us. Even for people who want to visit Surat Thani, I would recommend staying here and taking a taxi into the city because it was so nice!"

"We didn’t want to stay too close to airport , it was our last night of our holiday and we found this place less than 20 mins away! Absolutely beautiful right near the river Staff so sweet and taxi into night market in evening all arranged by them. We were coming from Khao Sok National Park by mini bus and got dropped off at Surat Thani train station then a lovely lady from hotel picked us up. Only about 6 mins drive. We stayed in the studio house right overlooking river and they even through in a free canoe 🛶 which we were brave enough to use, great fun. Lovely swimming pool all to ourselves as out of season so was very quiet here. So peaceful and tranquil sitting on our patio listening to the bird songs at night! Perfect ending to our holiday. Oh and they gave us a lift to Airport in morning too, had to pay but only couple quid. Great for a one night last stay near airport. "

It was an actual suite, king bed, fast wifi, massive rainfall shower and bathtub, Netflix on the smart tv! It was so comfortable and the staff was so amazing and helpful. He connected with me on whatsapp and anything I needed he helped me out with. He took me in his personal vehicle to town because I had nothing to do. The ONLY downside is the location is a bit far from the city (about 350-500baht taxi/grab) other than that it was the best place I stayed in Thailand and would recommend to absolutely anybody! Loved my stay here and will be back forsure! :) "
