Traveling to Thailand? Find Ranong hotels

Having booked my self into a 4 star beach resort for a few days to only find out that it was a dump and no were near a beach just a dirty noisy river. I was extremely relieved to move and spend the rest of my trip at the hidden resort. It definitely was more than I expected and I would highly recommend it. I can honestly say it has to be the best hotel in Ranong. It is in a quite rural location with beautiful gardens near a small river. The food is fantastic and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

we booked for 1 night but we stayed finally 10 days in this beautiful resort. very clean and beautiful rooms with good bed and pillows. great shower! seeview almost everywhere. very romantic seeview rooms and suites. the restaurant is beautiful and the food is great. the staff is extremly polite, nice and qualifite although their english skills are not the best. i should not write this review because i want to keep this place secret for me and my family! the town ranong is at 10km so the only thing you really need when you go here is a car. ranong is a beautiful small town with nice markets and you can get everything.

I was very impressed upon arrival. We arrived after a long day. The sweet woman at reception was so kind and helpful in getting us settled in and making us feel at home. The lobby area is beautiful and there is a small cafe with a sitting area where you can relax. The sweet staff at the front desk inquired about our plans. I am glad she did because she helped coordinate transportation and gave recommendations for the area and suggestions for our next destination. The hotel is a few minutes walk from, eateries, food stalls and 7-11 so finding something to eat was easy Breafast was tasty. The coffee drinks are really good and the barista really knows how to impress. My latte had beautifully decorated foam on top. The room was very clean, had everything we needed and most importantly, comfortable after a long work and travel day. Thank you so much for the hospitality! I plan to return for my next trip to Ranong.

I've heard many of the hotels in Ranong aren't as they are described. So our expectations weren't too high. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Cool hotel, nicely designed, functional rooms, decent restaurant and EXCELLENT value. A few reviews we read criticized the breakfast, yes it was simple but totally adequate. Travellers who are expecting more really need to try a different country or spend 5 times the amount on accommodation... thoroughly recommended. (PS: skip Rahsawarin springs and head to Porn Rang springs, much nicer)

From what I survey in Ranong, probably the best choice for resort/hotel. Very nice design and garden style. Open air area. I read some negative comments about "small" swimming pool. Well,yes it is not an Olympic size swimming pool but definitely more than enough, unless u wanna play water polo with 20 people ;-) I was happy with it Staff is kind and wanna help, even if it seems they don't know much the surroundings. But they can still help. Fully recommend this hotel. Especially for Ranong standard.

Looking for a budget hotel in Ranong for few days as we planned to make few day trips in Myanmar islands, we decided to book 2 nights only in Rueangrat hotel and once there decide if the hotel is ok. We then booked another 3 nights! The hotel is a budget hotel, so don't expect all facilities of a 5 stars but for the price, it provide all you need during your stay. The rooms are very clean, the shower is very good with good pressure and good hot water. The room are spacious. Perfect location in the center with plenty of restaurants and bars around. Easy to park your car in front of the hotel. Quiet. Good air condition and cable TV. The staff are very helpfull and friendly. They will provide you any information's you need. One point: The beds are very hard. Be aware about it if you are not used to it. But for us, it was no problem at all. Should I have to stop again in Ranong, I will stay in this hotel again. Very convenient.

It’s been our first time in Ranong. We flew from Bangkok and rented a car from Ranong airport. The hotel is located in city center and close to tourist attractions. It took only 25 minutes driving from the airport. The hotel’s staff was soooo lovely and friendly. I stayed in Tripple room for 2 nights and it was value-for-money. What I loved the most is breakfast (yes, it’s free!) Breakfast was very very good and delicious. There are many kinds of Thai food (esp. authentic southern food). We can say that we love this place! Next time we go to Ranong, we will definitely go back to this hotel!!

We arrived in Ranong after a 90 mins Nok Air flight.We stayed one night in Nailin Place. We got the 09-30 slow boat for 200 Bht each. The boat dropped us at the edge of the sea by Cashew Resort. Reception was rapid and efficient. Our chalet/hut was lovely. The restaurant was cheaper than most of Bangkok. The food was well cooked. Electricity was on from, about 18-00 until about 23-00 Internet was a bit slow but at least it worked. There is a Mini mart about ten minutes walk from Cashew.There is also a Bakery somewhere near the Mini mart. We never found it. We can thoroughly recommend Cashew Resort. We wonder how long it will survive in its present form as a big hotel is bound to buy such a wonderful site.

We did not know what to expect from this property as we booked while driving to Ranong Thailand. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to find a contemporary facility with a great pool, cafe and restaurant. The restaurant was innovative and we were surprised to see there was also a Korean menu from which we ordered. The food was stunning! The waiting staff were young and professional. We had a great dinner. Everything about our room was great. We will return!

The rooms here are great. Absolutely spotless, with comfortable beds, and good aircon and a great vier on the national park in this resorts backyard. We all had a good bight's sleep here. The owner is a wonderful lady who runs the resort herself. She cooked our breakfast in the morning, though my booking website didn't indicate it was included. The breakfast was absolutely fabulous. We received several complementary dishes, and the coffee from the attached coffeeshop was great. The owner takes a real interest in her guests and made us feel really at home. There is a small official bicycle pathway that was recently finished, running from this resort on past the nearby waterfall national park entrance and leading all the way back into Ranong. The owner let us borrow her bicycles free of charge in the morning. My son and I had a great time going around. This place is a gem. We will definitely return. Oh, we also got a free room upgrade! Just fantastic service!

We arrived at 9 a.m. to see if they would allow us to store our luggage there until it was time to check in. We had taken the overnight bus to get there and were so tired that we just wanted to dump our bags somewhere so we could go eat. There was a wonderful young man working the front desk who spoke very good English and he informed us that the rooms had all been cleaned and he would be happy to let us check in early. I cannot say enough good things about this man, he helped us out many times over our stay, making phone calls in Thai for us and helping us figure out how to get to where we wanted to go. The rooms were extremely clean, the pool was very, very clean and in good condition and the kids got such a kick out of the different houses, especially the upside down house. The resort is about ten minutes outside of town, so to us that was a benefit since we didn't want to be near the hustle and bustle. The breakfast in the morning was okay, pretty much on par with what most Thai hotels offer. The only issue we had was the construction work being done at 7:30 in the morning. We don't often get to sleep late, so since we were on vacation we had hoped to be able to do so. Hammering and yelling to each other that early in the morning is not a good idea, especially since everything is in such close proximity. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Free kayaking, clean rooms, riverviews. I hired a scooter so can easily travel arong ranong, though it is 300 baht from this hotel... im used to 200 to 250. I went out at night to get something.. i noticed something moving very slowly among the power lines. I beleive it was a type of lemur or slough. We tried searching for more but could find any but it was an amazing experience. The owner was genuinely lovely, when i told her about my girl friends problems she understand and did all she could to rectify. The complex has a small cafe usually with no one inside so virtually private.. all with glass walls and air conditioning with a tv and two sofas.. my and my partner enjoyed eating here. One night we bought crabs and vegitables. The owner is more then happy to cook the food at 60 baht per dish. If you sre vegetarian i reccommend buying pumpkin curry for her to cook. Was the best i have ever had. Would stay again if i was in the area. Thanks!

my husband and i arrived around 9 pm after a long, trying day of travel from ko lanta. staff opened the kitchen for us, made us a delicious dinner, brought our (included) breakfast to our room in the morning, drove us to the pier for our visa run (this is not the backpacker visa run, this is the andaman resort visa run, but it's very smooth and straightforward and the pier is literally less than a five minute walk from b.c. badin.), and let us store our bags for the afternoon while we completed said visa run. english is very limited (one lady), but everyone is very friendly. the location is beautiful, but it's far from town, so if you're looking for something in town, look elsewhere ... but if you time to relax for a couple days, this is the place to be in ranong!

I thought i would never write a real negative review. However, here it is unfortunately. The information about the rooms is very different then what you get in reality. So are the pictures. They use pictures of a room that u dont get. We booked a room with a king size bed, but we didnt get it. The owner was very unfriendly and only believed herself. In this hotel they not really care much about the guests sadly. Furthermore the hotel is old and has seen it's best days already. Dirty towels and a bad smell. Better to skip this one and look for something else that has a better value for the same price.

I traveled there and stayed at Les Robinson for 2 nights. The location is very scenic. The best feature of this place for me was the hospitality of P. Koong, the owner. I have been living and working in Thailand for six years and I can claim she is a unique case regarding hospitality and being service minded. We arrived in Ranong in morning, about 7 am andthe checkin time was 2pm but she allowed us to check in at morning time. She also helped us a lot regarding the area and sight seeing. We needed to buy some stuffs at 7-11 which was far from the hotel but she called us and came to pick us with her own car. the same day evening also , she took us with her own car to hot springs near by and then after having dinner she came to pick us up and took us back in the resort. in the last day of staying , she took us to a famous Roti shop in the city for breakfast and then to the most famous coffee shop of Ranong near river. I was so impressed by such hospitality and wish to go there again.

our stay at the hotel was for an in between time before we went to one of the local islands. the rooms are well built and quite clean. orginally we were told we were going to be getting a fan room and when we arrived we were given a room with a/c! the purple room was great. our first time we took a taxi out we did it through the drowsy rabbit looking front desk guy who we feel ripped us off by us paying him 200 baht for the pair of us for a ride to the pier. when we arrived t the pier, the taxi guy charged the 3rd guy in our ride 60 baht. it just bothered us. when we came back from our island trip and wanted a place to hold on to our bags for the day before our bus came, we went back to this hotel and ran in to the owner who was a great guy and held onto our stuff and allowed us to use the facilities free of charge for the day. very nice owner who cares very much for his work and building a quality hostel. would recommend staying there, best hostel in ranong. just watch out for a guy that looks like a sleepy rabbit.

Just doing a visa run to Myanmar, very friendly and informative staff , if I knew then what I know now wouldn’t have bothered staying in Ranong but did and this place was perfect for that , cheap enough, night life 2 mins walk but not disturbed at hotel , not much in the way of amenities in room but not a real problem, good for price and really friendly management/ family

This is one of these typical hotels built 30-50 years ago that you can still find throughout the whole Thailand. Most of them have a special character but a bit worn. Unlike them, this one is not worn and still reserves the charm of an old school thai hotel. The rooms are partly renovated, very clean, tidy and cosy. It's very pleasant to stay there. As the hotel is old, its walls are quite thick, so the rooms don't get warm during the daytime and the temperature inside is optimal. A big con is that they don't feature public wi-fi (though there is at least one wi-fi router, on the first floor). Altogether, it's a very good option to stay in Ranong.

I love Koh Chang Resort!! They have the best view at the big balcony and inside the room. From the balcony you can see the gorgeous view of the sky and the sea. It's the best beach front I have ever been to. The staff are very nice and friendly. They let me checked in as soon as I got to the resort and let me stayed til 4pm so I could spend more time there and catch the speed boat later in the evening. Highly recommended and I will surely be back. Thank you for the wonderful time!!!!

We, my wife and I, a seasoned traveling couple from Switzerland, spent three nights before embarking on a Diving Safari (see Aladdin Divers Ranong) and one night after returning from the boat journey. The Guesthouse has four rooms and is located on the outer edges of town, conveniently located to the public hot springs (see Ranong Hotsprings). The building is nesteled into the hillside of a lush forest, making it nicely cooler, however also a bit damper. Walking distance to the city's commercial center is 20-25 minutes (at a slow to medium pace). A convenience store is 10 minutes away. We found the room to be clean and convenient. Swing, the receptionist, manager and cook is your contact for pretty much everything. She is very helpful in respect of the needs you may have and we certainly enjoyed her traditional Thai-style cooking. Considering the very reasonable price of approx. 20$ a night we feel confident to recommend this establishment to travelers to Ranong.
