Not recommended
The staff was awful and had no desire to help with anything. Rooms are very cute and comfy. Not many plug ins. They do offer shampoo and body wash. The location was not convinient at all. If you're booking a trip to visit the islands, pay the extra money to stay on the actual islands instead of paying for transportation back and forth.

Nice location, clean room, but bad wifi.
I liked the area. It was located in a quiet neighborhood, but I liked the neighborhood a lot. Also, the room itself was clean. My only complain about this hotel was that, the WIFI signal was REALLY REALLY bad. I would say, it was nearly impossible to use their wifi in the room. If they have a better wifi in their guest rooms, it would be better.

Nice staff,decent room but very far from town proper if you are walking.It is possible to get on transport to town inexpensively but you may have to wait a bit. The only huge drawback is the walls are paper thin and the road noise if you are street side is unbearable!! Trust me you will not sleep-even ear plugs do not deaden the road noise,it is as if you are sleeping outside next to a busy highway! It might be better on the other side but you will still hear everything that happens in the hall and next door.

Nice, clean hotel in Krabi!
Basic hotel, but very clean and was perfect for a night stay in Krabi before heading to the airport. They have 24 hour reception and the front desk staff was very personable and spoke good English. Arranged early transportation for us and provide lots of helpful maps and suggestions. Overall great value and experience!

Convinient clean hotel
It was great value for money. We rented the bike from the hotel itself. All places were 2-3 kms distance. The rooms were spacious clean and well done. Bathroom was good. For a price of 900 baht it was very good with breakfast.

easy to get there by car. the hotel has car park under the building but not have much from my counting it would be 8-10. I changed the room type at the front desk. The staff is very nice, she smile and willing to serve my need without question. There is cleanses bathroom but towel and blanket are not. room size and space is comfortable with a big closet.

Spotlessly clean hotel. Located about 30 mins walk from Krabi centre. Complimentary breakfast ok, but water for coffee needed to be hotter, fried eggs and toast enough for us.

Great place to stay in Krabi
The hotel was pretty close (20-30 minute walk) from the town and a decent taxi ride away from the tiger cave temple. Everything is cheaper in Krabi compared to the marked up prices of Phuket, so you get more bang for your buck.

Layover hotel
We used this hotel as a layover so we could catch the ferry to Phi Phi the next morning, it is really practical and convenient. The rooms were good enough and the hotel was really cheap. The hotel staff was helpful and helped us organizing our ferry the next morning.

Hotel room is decent for its price. However location is a bit far from the city. No vehicle rental shops nearby and staff tries to overquote for car rental. She quotes us 1 price, we called the same vendor. The price that she quote was higher.

Hotel in Krabi
Hotel was comfortable and close to town, it did what it said on the tin. Unfortunately the hot air from the cooling unit blew directly on the balcony. Limited choice for breakfast, which you had in an area next to the hotel car park. Breakfast wasn't replenished if you arrived after 9am even tho it was meant to last till 10am. Shame there was no safe in the rooms. The hotel helped us book a tour with Phi Phi Tours, unfortunately the guide was unhelpful and showed no enthusiasm or interest during the tour

Great Hotel, WRONG Location
The hotels promotional matterial say it is close to the nighyt maket and other sites. It is not, they offer a taxi service to the night market for 200 B each way. It had expected the hotel to be conveniently placed and close to all the things it say it is close too. The rooms are nice and new. I do NOT appreciate misrepresentation on the Internet. If you have your own means of transport to get around on, then this would be worth considering. If travelling by public transport, there are other hotels much closer to the action.

Great Hotel - poor location
The hotel was great, nice rooms big airy and clean. No English speaking channels on the TV - but not a problem for us. The only downside is that this hotel is 2km from town. The breakfast also left a lot to be desired. Some tea / coffee with the sweetest drinks (called orange juice) I have ever tasted. The first day they ran out of bread so cooked us a fried egg with frankfurter sausage and cold slices of processed turkey - which was barely edible. Second day better when there was toast available.

Övernattning innan flyg
Överlag bra värde för pengarna. Stannade en natt pga tidigt flyg från Krabi. Dusch/WC bra och fräscha. Sängar bra. Rum rent o bra. Ljudet från gatan utanför var dock katatstrof. Sov ingenting på natten. Det lät som om fönstret var öppet mot gatan fast det var stängt så ljudisoleringen var obefintlig.

Krabi
övernattade 2 nätter innan vi skulle vidare til Ko Langa, hotellet va helt ok, bra, rent, men lite små rum, men det funkade för 2 personer. Säkerhets safe i garderoben, 2 vattenflaskor varje dag, ok kylskåp, bra AC, men läget va inte så sentralt som vi trodde, fick ta taxi hela tiden inn till centrala Krabi. Personalen kunde vara mer intresserade eller kunniga om saker vi frågade om, annars va dom ok. Hotellet hade hiss även om det stod at dom inte hade det när vi läste om hotellet innan vi reste. Fins tydligen frukost i källaren, det va det inget som sade nått om så vi trodde dom inte hade det.

Far from downtown, inconvenience if you don't have car. Noisy if you stay at first floor near lobby. We recommend if you stay in short time during you are wating next program, travel or drop before take other trip to any island.

Bom Hotel, mas fica afastado da parte central
O hotel é muito confortável, porém fica longe da parte central! Fechamos passeios por lá mesmo! Lá em volta só tem restaurantes com comida tailandesa, queríamos algo diferente pois já estávamos muitos dias pela Tailândia, mas isso só tinha na parte central que era longe! Mas tinha mercado e farmácia por perto!!

Hyggeligt & familievenligt
De er lidt langsomme om at svare på emails, men rigtig god service-når de så svarer. Blev opgraderet, og fik en mini suite med en ekstra seng-hvilket var helt perfekt-da vi rejser med vores barn. Maden er god og rimelig pris. Morgenmaden er buffet-med rimeligt udvalg. Og dertil kan vælges any type of egg. Fantastiske pools-begge med del som børn kan bruge. Stedet ligger lige ned til stranden-så skønt!
