The place was nice, cool pool and lounging area, nice restaurant and breakfast was good. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
The standard room I had was fairly basic and needed some updating, but okay.
Location was fine, only 10 minutes walk to the beach, although you have to cross the main road to get to the main street that goes down to the beach, which has lots of bars massage places and shops on.

Many bugs
リノベーションしたと見ましたが、実際に案内された部屋は古い部屋でした。(サイトの写真と全然違いました)
アリがフロアやシンク、ベッドサイドテーブルまであちこちにいました。蚊が数匹、天井にはクモがいました。
トイレの上のパイプが壊れていて、一晩中水漏れの音がしていました。ドライヤーが壊れていてスイッチが入りませんでした。
朝食は席が管理されておらず、私がコーヒーを取りに行って席に戻ると、後から来た欧米系の老人が「ワシが先に座っていた」と、私のパンの皿を全部重ねてしまい、食べられなくなりました。
立地が片側4車線の大きい国道沿いなので、トラックの音が響き、1Fがバーになっているので夜うるさく、部屋へ行く階段でタバコを吸う人々も多く て通行の妨げになっていました。
お値段以下です。フロントの女性の対応は良かったです。
There are many ant not only floor also sink.
Pipe above a toilet was broken so water drop sound made bother me overnight.
Also hair dryer was broken. During night, car noise is big in front of the hotel.
Front staff smiles good.

Gute und günstige Unterkunft
Zuerst eins vorweg: Der erste Eindruck war nicht so positiv als wir dort ankamen. Aber anschließend und abschließend müssen wir sagen, dass es eine tolle Unterkunft ist für einen vernünftigen Preis. Das Zimmer war groß und geräumig, es gab neben den Betten auch eine Chill-Area im Zimmer. Gut, der Duschbereich könnte etwas größer sein, aber es für uns keinen "Engpass". Der Zimmerservice war auch top, täglich alles sauber gemacht und für uns aufgeräumt. Unsere Belange wurden auch bearbeitet als Zimmernachbarn unbedingt die Nacht zum Tag machen wollten. In der näheren Umgebung gab es tolle Restaurants ohne in die Touristen-Strasse zum Strand zu müssen, welche überteuert sind und nicht so gut sind.
Alles in allem eine Unterkunft die beim nächsten Besuch wieder gebucht wird. Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt, dem tollen Service und den freundlichen Mitarbeitern.
Hotel je v dobrem miste, bez vytahu, ale s bazénem, za nas spokojenost. Doporučujeme

Prisvärt centralt boende i Bang Niang
Jag och min 11-åriga dotter bodde tre nätter på Motive Cottage Resort. Vi fick checka in tidigare vilket uppskattades efter en lång flygresa. Rummet var fint med utgång till poolen till dotterns förtjusning. En aning hård säng som sig bör i Thailand. ACn fungerade toppen. Lite myror och mögel i badrummet. I övrigt ok! Frukosten ok! Hotellet låg vid en trafikerad väg som behövde korsas om man skulle till restauranger och strand. Gångavstånd till strand, restauranger, affärer, marknad, minigolf, tsunamimuseum. För den lilla summa vi betalade för vistelsen skulle jag absolut rekommendera hotellet om man inte söker efter ett lyxhotell. Vi var nöjda och kan absolut tänka oss att boka detta hotell igen.

Good location, but lacking elsewhere.
Room: mould on shower wall, wall fixing for shower head unsecured (resulting in the hose firing off water uncontrollably around the shower room!), holes in the bed sheet, no hair-dryer, no iron (not even on request).
Great hotel with good price, good location and breakfast, highly recommend

A éviter, trop de bruit...
Hôtel vieillissant à côté de la grande route Nord/Sud... Beaucoup de bruit. Accueil mauvais le boy nous a donné nos clés et débrouillez vous pour trouver la chambre...!
Für uns, weiblich 54 und 23 jahre jung, nicht motorisiert, war die Lage perfekt. Zu Fuß alles (Einkaufen,Essen gehen,Bar) zu erledigen...

Nice hotel for the price
This is a nice hotel, since we had a car, we could stay at this hotel, which is not near the beach. Instead we drove to different beaches and waterfalls for variety. White Sand beach was the best for us.

Det bästa var Wi-fi
De bästa med hotellet var deras wi-fi. Rummet var slitet och sängarna var stenhårda. De fanns ingen tvål till att tvätta händerna utan fick använda de medföljande schampot. De var glipor i väggen och i ytterdörren så vi fick lägga handduken för att skydda mot insekter. Om vi råkade ha något ätbart framme var myrorna där direkt.

Great Location & Breakfast Buffet
Stayed here 9 nights in early February for a scuba diving vacation. Great location on the highway, where there are many good restaurants, bars, laundry, pharmacy, food mart, 7-11, massage, etc... there is a currency conversion booth next door that gives a great rate of USD to THB of 98.7%. Also very close to the main road that runs to the beach, where most dive shops are located, plus most great restaurants, bars, massage and souvenir shops are located. Compared to Patang / Karon / Kata this area is far more rural and quiet... a very laid back atmosphere that I enjoyed much more than last year down south.
Motive: clean comfortable bed and pillows, extra towels provided upon request, prompt maid service. But what I liked best was the breakfast buffet, awesome. Each morning a different combination of rice and noodle dishes. Never had the same dish twice. Kudos to the cook. Eggs made to order by the chef, served with bacon. Fresh watermelon and pineapple. Toast machine. Milk & cereal. Great coffee. Orange juice. Outside dining in a nice covered patio area. Will definitely book here again when I come back.

Hôtel propre
Nous avons passé sept nuits dans cet hôtel,propre agréable .
Je recommande vraiment cet hôtel , qui correspond bien au descriptif ,bon rapport qualité prix lorsque l on ´ne cherche pas un hôtel club,placé il est vrai sur la grande route mais notre chambre était sur jardin donc nous n avons pas trop entendu les bruits du traffic.
Hôtel bien placé à 10mn à pied des plages .on y trouve pleins de restaurations ,des boutiques
Le marché (lundi,mercredi,samedi)ou l on peut dejeuner et dîner, acheter des fruits ,souvenirs,vêtements.
Visite des îles similanes,magnifiques.
Treck,baignade avec les éléphants.
Khaolak est une belle destination ou il fait bon vivre,les plages sont belles,nous l'avons préféré à Phuket.

Ofräscht
Detta var tyvärr det värsta vi varit med om i hotellväg. Väldigt lortigt, både på rum och kring poolen. Vi fick börja med att be dem städa våra rum en gång men tyvärr hjälpte det inte. Vi hade spindlar och kackerlackor på vårt rum men framför allt hade vi kryp i sängen (jag ska inte svära på att det var vägglöss men mycket tyder på det). Runt poolen ligger en massa skräp, fimpar m.m. och hela poolen är full med lort. Personalen i receptionen skrattade mest över våra klagomål men vi fick mycket bra hjälp från Hotels.com (så hatten av för dem). Hotellet ligger ganska bra, nära restauranger och marknaden samt ca en kilometer till stranden, men jag kan verkligen inte rekommendera någon att åka dit.
