I rate this littlle hotel 5 stars. Ok...it's actually 3 stars, but the value is exceptional. After all, good luck finding a clean, spacious and comfortable hotel room with cable TV, wifi, a decent/large bed, a hot water shower, no pests, a refrigerator, air conditioning and a private bathroom for $17 usd or less in Samui during high season. The Icon is a great value...and the hotel is only 10 minutes away from 'party central' in Lamai..if you have a motorbike or car. There was a little bit of road noise, but it was very tolerable. At night, it's quiet. There is a Tesco Lotus Express within a 2 minute walk. There was no safe in the room...but I wasn't complaining. For $17 usd per night, how can you possibly complain about anything?! Thank you to the Icon for a very good and affordable stay!
stayed for 7 days but extended by another 5 as I found it very comfortable having a private balcony.. good security with touch key entry system... shops very close by 7/11 and Tesco lotus..however there are only 4 rooms with the balcony facing the forresty type of view with lots of coconut trees.. the front is facing the road where the traffic and public noise is heard being the only road that goes from one side of the island to the other.. night life is a 10 minute ride by tuk tuk more hectic and with more to do is 30 mins away..which are at times 15 min wait
