I was very impressed with the reception staff. They could not do enough for you. I normally book more luxurious hotel, but we were travelling in a big group and the my friends choose this property. I found the room a bit small for 4 of us, so I opted to pay 1000 Bhat per night and get a 2 bed room with 1 bathroom, so we got more space and that was a good idea. There wa...

Travelled in a group of 4 and booked 2 rooms from 14/8 to 17/8. Had a very pleasant welcome from Noolek and Noola who served us welcome drinks and introduced the hotel facilities. They even showed us up to our rooms. Our spacious rooms came with a king-sized bed & single bed and a balcony which faces the main road to Ao Nang Beach. They even provide 2 beach towels, 2...

I booked this hotel at a last min notice as my partner and I decided to make an impromptu trip (5D4N) to Krabi. For the price that we paid we would say that BlueSotel definitely exceeded our expectations ! Pros - The staffs here are really polite and helpful. Plus, they could speak decent English ! - Location was spot on as it’s just a few mins walk to the beach. Al...

Hotel : check-in was quick and fuss free. Booked a Deluxe Room, spacious and there’s balcony and sofa for a very reasonable price. Bed was super comfy and room is definitely clean. Free mini bar top up everyday. Don’t forget to bring your toothbrush and toothpaste as they don’t provide them. Hotel location was perfect for me surrounded by plenty of muslim/halal foods. ...

This hotel had the most comfortable bed, pillows and sheets I have ever experienced on vacation! seriously amazing! the price made this hotel extremely affordable to book for a week and go on small trips elsewhere throughout. The location is amazing, walking distance to the beach in only a few minutes and close enough to anything you need while here. Staff was nice and...

We stayed at the Alisea for four nights, having been recommended to the hotel by some friends. First off, I think the staff are top notch, starting with the manager Thaiya. She immediately made us feel very welcome and was very helpful in sharing information, booking tours and even going to the local market to get us some palm sugar to bring home. The hotel itself is n...

Elegant hotel facade. Looks very expensive but price is actually a lil bit cheap. Maybe because the location is far from beach but they have free shuttle, the problem was, all shuttle sched from beach back to hotel was fully booked so we had to ride tuktuk that charged us 100baht (3pax). Take note: Hotel staff required 1000 baht for deposit and required us to show pass...

Hotel itself is very good, clean. Location - beach in front is not the best one to swim, but to main Ao Nang beach is only 10 minutes walk and 2 minutes walk to boat station that can bring you to Railay or Phra Nang beaches. Very close to plenty of restaurants and convinience stores. To night market it is only 10-15 walk as well. Breakfast is very good and plenty of fr...

We had a very positive stay at this hotel, although the location was not the greatest. It was a bit of a hike from the Ao Nang town and night life. It was across from the beach, but that beach had a lot of long tail boats parked in the way. The hotel staff and the actual accomodations were by far the best part. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The hotel d...

Having stayed in so many hotels in my life including 5 star hotels, I think this was the best customer service I have ever received. The staff are so polite, accommodating and helpful. The rooms are spacious and so is the bathrooms. I received a wonderful welcome when I arrived and ask if they could kindly would change my twin room to a king size bed, which they did im...

Overall, apple of a day hotel is more than satisfactory. Hotel is clean, staffs are helpful, location is great and many restaurant near by, walking distance to ao nang beach. Hotel buffet is not many to choose but still ok. Like the juice bar so much, it's a way of starting new day with healthy life style. Next time, if I visit krabi will stay again. Instead of st...

The quality of this hotel was evident from the minute we walked up. The building is only a year old and still in immaculate condition. We originally booked a room on the 3rd floor with a garden view. The staff were not only friendly, but they upgraded us to a top floor room with an ocean view for no extra charge. Their English wasn't great but they were trying their be...

Nice stay at this hotel, it is only 2 years old and has a fantastic view at the poolside of the mountains. Contrary to what I read about other comments about rude staff I found them to be very nice and pleasant and very helpful in addition very professional. We stayed in a standard room booked online and payed approximately £25 per night with Various discounts in low s...

We stayed at 8Icon for 7 nights and were immediately struck by the staff's hospitality and friendliness. The room was clean and breakfast offered a good variety of yummy food. The hotel is close to both Nopparat Thara Beach and Ao Nang beach (where you can also book a return trip to Railay beach for 200 baht/person). Most boat trips start from Nopparat pier which is re...

We have been to Ao Nang many times and had stayed in another nearby hotel (Centara Anda Dhevi) and knew the location of the Deevana. Since our usual hotel (Dhevi) was a little expensive this time we decided to go for the cheaper option of the Deevana. We expected that we would get what we paid for but were pleasantly surprised. It was a similar standard to the Anda Dhe...

Upon check in, we were greeted with an herbal drink and cool towels. Rooms were scented with essential oils and there was a plate of fresh fruits, banana chips and a stocked fridge with bottled water, apple juice and coconut water. Beds, linens, robes and towels are all brand new! There is a complimentary beach bag with beach towels, short and skirt ready to go, as we...

In my opinion, the major plus point of this hotel is the location. It is a 2 mins (I'm not even kidding) walk away from the street food area where the sheer amount of cheap delicious food will blow you away. Walk further down, there will be streets of shops comprising of restaurants, souvenirs and massage and at the end of it is Aonang Beach, probably a 15 mins walk aw...

This is my second time in Krabi after the first one in January 2016. There were 3 of us during the trip this time. We purchased a room for three that consist of one Queen Bed and a Single Bed. Arrived at the hotel at 6:30 in the evening and we were welcomed by a soft-spoken young lady that demonstrates high level of excellence. She briefed us perfectly and clearly ment...

highly recommended hotel for long stay. The room is very relaxing with a nice view from balcony. They cleaned the room daily and changed linens. Even though place is far from aonang beach, hotel is providing free tuktuk ride and u can borrow beach towel and umbrella. the breakfast is great with unlimited bread,fruits and drinks. all staff has good attitude.

This is the first time I stayed at Holiday Inn Express, I think it's low budget format of the chain but with price we pay it's not that cheap and honestly I expect a little more than that. I'm happy with overall service and the place, the staff were very helpful, the welcome was nice and they were kind to let us check out late until 2 pm. The breakfast was decent and g...

This place is a little far from the beach, but one can walk the distance to the Beach easily. On the way attire are a few small restaurants and shops and some other outlets, but i you need a bit more action, it is advisable to walk down the road towards the beach, turn left and after a few meter you will be in the middle of more action and happenings, incl. a starbucks...

I had a minor boo-boo during the booking of the reservation as the website hang and I missed the chance to book the hotel for my entire stay. I contacted Agoda to address the issue and they were kind to accord the room from this hotel to me at a discounted rate as I have provided proof that the website died on me. Hotel initially wanted to charge me an exorbitant rate ...

They say, you pay for what you get. But this was not the case. I booked a Moon-Deck Suite for 3 nights at around 70 USD a night. I thought it was a great deal, until I saw reviews that the place was old, the deck was dirty, the staff were rude. To be honest, I was quite worried. When we reached at around 12pm, we were told that we could only check in at 2pm, hence we...

We stayed for 4nights here. Super amazing. If you extand your stay you just pay 600baht per night at the reception. Super cheap. The room is clean. The water heater well function.
