Summary of reviewsHivetel offers a unique and tranquil retreat on the quiet side of the island, ideal for visitors seeking peace away from tourist areas. The location provides an advantage for fitness enthusiasts due to its proximity to fitness street, although it may be less convenient for those wanting easy access to shops and central activities. The innovative design of transforming shipping containers into compact, stylish hotel rooms has been well-received, providing guests with an intriguing and visually appealing environment. Rooms are noted for their cleanliness and essential amenities, although the dark interiors and initial heat until air conditioning kicks in can be a minor discomfort.

The hotel's swimming pool is a standout feature, admired for its large size, waterfall design, and poolside bar, creating a lovely space for relaxation and dining. While some guests have noted cleanliness issues in certain areas like the pool, the overall impression of cleanliness is positive, particularly when requesting regular cleaning services. The staff at Hivetel receive high praise for their friendliness and helpfulness, contributing significantly to positive guest experiences, despite occasional communication barriers.

Breakfast at Hivetel caters to both American and Thai preferences, with the Thai options often highlighted for their quality. However, guests have noted the limited variety and suggested it could be better included in the daily rate for added value. The hotel's beds have received mixed feedback, with comfort levels varying from room to room; some guests find them comfortable, while others described them as too hard.

In summary, Hivetel provides a distinctive and peaceful accommodation option with modern amenities and a welcoming atmosphere, though opportunities for improvement exist in breakfast offerings, bedding comfort, and consistent cleaning.

Location
Hivetel's location seems to offer a tranquil retreat, perfectly positioned on the quiet side of the island, appealing to those who seek peace away from the typical tourist hustle. For guests looking to unwind in a serene and secluded atmosphere, the hotel's remote setting might be seen as a positive. However, potential visitors should be aware that the distance from the main road and central areas might pose a challenge for those wishing to explore or access shops and supermarkets easily. Proximity to fitness street offers a unique advantage, attracting those interested in maintaining an active lifestyle. Despite its quiet charm, Hivetel's location may be perceived as inconvenient for guests who prioritize closeness to the bustling heart of the island.

Breakfast
Hivetel offers a mixed breakfast experience that caters to guests seeking either American or Thai morning meals. While the breakfast's selection is noted to be quite limited and modest, it manages to satisfy those opting for the Thai breakfast, which receives praise for its quality. The breakfast options available provide good, filling meals despite the lack of variety. However, some guests feel that the breakfast is overpriced for what is offered and should potentially be included in the daily rate for better value. Overall, while there are positive remarks about the food and drinks in general, the hotel could improve its breakfast variety and quality to meet guest expectations consistently.

Rooms
Hivetel presents a unique lodging experience with its innovative design of transforming shipping containers into hotel rooms. While the rooms are notably compact, guests frequently mention the contemporary and stylish design. The clean and well-maintained space offers an intriguing aesthetic with its black-painted interiors, and there are lovely views to enjoy, providing a visually appealing environment. Each room is fully equipped with essential amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay. Despite the small size, the effective air conditioning system is appreciated, although the dark interiors and initial heat upon entering can be uncomfortable until the air conditioning kicks in. The cleanliness and overall design are consistently highlighted, making Hivetel a chic yet minimalist option for travelers seeking something different.

Beds
Visitors to Hivetel have shared mixed experiences regarding the comfort of the beds. While some guests have appreciated the comfortable beds provided, others have expressed concerns about the beds being excessively hard, even comparing them to sleeping on the floor. Additionally, a few reviews pointed out issues with moldy bedding attributed to the room's humidity. The feedback suggests a variance in the quality and condition of the bedding, indicating that while some rooms offer a comfortable sleeping experience, others might not meet expectations.

Cleanliness
Hivetel presents a mixed bag when it comes to cleanliness, with some guests praising the hotel for its overall tidy premises and well-maintained environment. The rooms are noted to be very clean, particularly when guests request the cleaning service by using the door sign. This proactive approach ensures a pleasant stay for those who value a clean space. Air conditioning within the rooms adds to the comfort level, though some guests noticed a rise in temperature during noon due to direct sunlight.

The hotel's outdoor area, including the pool, generally receives commendation for its cleanliness, contributing to a calm and serene atmosphere. Nonetheless, some guests have encountered issues with consistently maintaining cleanliness standards, especially in certain areas like the pool, and are required to remind staff to service the rooms. This inconsistent room cleaning schedule can be a downside for some travelers who expect routine housekeeping. Overall, while the hotel is often described as clean and calm, attention to detail and consistent cleaning services can enhance the experience for future visitors.

Staff

The hotel employees' willingness to assist with various needs, even beyond regular hours, stood out as a significant positive attribute.
