The Pillows

I spent six weeks here while waiting for my longer-term lease to start, and it was such a restful place to unwind. The grounds feel like a neatly kept jungle, with lovely landscaping and superb staff. There’s a great pool, breakfast and coffee, plus authentic Thai restaurants and a BAKERY right across the street. Kids and pets are welcome too.

We stayed for three weeks in April 2023 and really loved our time here. The rooms were clean and tidy, with a huge comfy bed, and the swimming pool was brilliant. Breakfast was lovely, and the coffee was amazing. What made it even nicer was seeing the same friendly people each day, since over ten people actually live here. There were plenty of dogs around too. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We’d absolutely stay again.

A well-run little boutique hotel with very good service. The pool gets cleaned every day, and there’s security at night. There aren’t any views, but you can rent scooters through the hotel’s reliable partner, Totti the Italian guy. Breakfast is quite good, and the Swiss coffee machine makes excellent espressos in Rawai all day, once you work out the buttons. Across the street, the restaurant is decent; the lady next door on the left, viewed from the hotel, is even better value and taste-wise. I’d also recommend the blind masseurs and the nail and hair lady across the road. The French pastry shop down the road is tasty too.

This was my third time staying here, and I’m still just as impressed. The employees are lovely, friendly, and always smiling. The rooms and pool are clean, and the atmosphere feels calm and pleasant. I come back every so often.
