Rooms with outdoor space
Every room at Living Chilled Koh Tao is 30 m² and comes with its own balcony or terrace. Views look out over the city or the inner courtyard. It is a more generous footprint than most two-star properties on the island.
Inner courtyard and terrace
The hotel has a terrace and an inner courtyard, giving guests somewhere to sit outside the room itself. Courtyard-facing rooms have a calmer outlook, while city-view rooms put the activity of Ko Tao in front of you.
Practical in-room kit
Each room includes a refrigerator, electric kettle, tea and coffee maker, sofa bed, and a drying rack — small additions that add up when you are staying more than a night or two.
