Prachuap Khiri Khan City Center hotels & places to stay

If your landing in this sleepy town late at night after weeks on a shoestring budget, then this hotel is an oasis. It's clean and professional. Elevators and airconditioning. The staff have a formal, trained feel to them. And the breakfast is real - you know what i mean if you've traveled a bit. The location is fine, easily found. The town is so small, though, that location praise borders meaningless. You will want a scooter to explore the area anyway - ao manao, monkey mountain, the three to five streets, their markets and restaurants.. I will go again. Prachuap Khiri Khan is a relaxing place to slow down and recharge on your travels. It would also be a great part of this beautiful country in which to retire. The people have retained the old Thai smiliness and hospitality. It's the provincial capital, i believe, and this could well account for the obvious government spending found throughout - piers, boardwalks, roads, public buildings, fresh paint, order - a surprise in contrast to towns of a similar population. If you are just passing through, then the Grand Hotel is a decent mid-range value. It lacks the personal touch of a place loved by it's owners, and wouldn't, therefore, be the best choice for a long term stay. But my family and I appreciate it for what it is. If you're researching this town and intend to stay for some time, then include Kui Buri, Bang Saphan, and the other surrounding communities within reach, as I will on my next trip. First time around I was wary of dedicating too much time to a tiny town of little reknown, but already having determined to return, I will certainly explore further. What a stunning country that such beauty can remain on the outskirts of mass tourism for so long. We've been guests in Thailand on six trips over ten years, each at least a month long. Enjoy.

I stayed here with my friend for 3 nights on our way to south to Ban Krut. Hotel is extremely clean and well maintained. The hotel was surprisingly completely full but didn't see but few souls around. Room was quiet and had very good and quiet ac with fabulous sea view. No balcony. They dont have a restaurant on their own but serve free coffee (instant) all day long and has cheap prices for beverages at a lobby. You can also bring your own food and drinks and enjoy them at a terrace with a sea view. They have also brand new cafeteria at the terrace where a young boy prepares the best coffee you can get in Thailand. Americano with milk only 50bahts. Prachuap is a little nice town and great for few days stay. Extremely safe, clean and quiet. You can find mant restaurants nearby. Ciao pizza and Top Deck (our favourite on this holiday so far). Prachuap is not great for swimming and the hotel neither the beach has sun loungers. Make a trip to Ao Manao to see wild langur monkeys. You can also feed them and they are the friendly ones. If you take a saleng (tuktuk) there you need to rent s bike from ao manao in order to cross the runway to the observation area. If in good fit climb to the mountain next to it and get the views from 300m height. It takes about 45-60mins to get there. Older owner of the hotel speaks good english and is very helpful. Worth visit and will be my choice if I ever go back to Prachuap Khiri Khan

This hotel was very easy to find, along toward the end of the road, one or two streets back from the beach. Check-in was quick and easy and we had a room on the 4th floor overlooking the bay. There is no lift so the stairs are your little bit of exercise! the room was so lovely, really well set out with a beautiful big bed...although maybe a little hard for some, it was ok for us. Really neat bathroom with the glass between that and bedroom. Only 2 towels and bath mat were supplied, no hand towel which would have been a plus but no problem. The room had beautiful views, however, the curtains had to remain closed as the room was so very hot with the heat from the windows and air conditioner struggled, but we were happy enough to be able to look out when we wanted....mayby tint would help. Wifi was super, no problems anywhere on the premises. The small bakery/restaurant attached was good for breakfast and certainly reasonably priced but also many restaurants in that immediate area. The staff were quite nice, they had a couple of bicycles we were able to use and we also hired a motorbike through the hotel for one day. You will get cheaper if you look around but 250bht was ok for one day. There are a few very small problems at the hotel, like lose tap which we fixed, items left in the fridge from previous guests, maybe not as clean as a lot we have stayed in but like I said, only minor things and it certainly would not stop me from booking this hotel again when in Prachuap khiri khan.

The room is great really appreciated the complimentary drinks and snacks that were replenished daily. The whole grounds is lovely, very much enjoyed the pool and adjacent restaurant. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The wifi is reliable and fast. The location is about 2.5km from the town centre and town beach. They do provide free bike hire but it is still a bit of a commute. If you have a scooter or car the location is not an issue. Otherwise you may want to consider a more central option. There is a great bike path all the way long the coast joining the town up with Ao Mannao and the northern beaches so I quite enjoyed riding everywhere. The only real negatives I can say about this place is that we booked a double but were given a twin and when I raised it they said it wasn't available :-( and you should be aware that the pool is open to the public for an entry fee so especially on weekends, holidays and in the afternoons after school it can get a bit busy and noisy with kids.

We stayed here one night with two kids 5 and 9. We had the connecting room on the far corner, a spacious clean and comfortable 4 bed- 2 bathrooms setup. Very good as this was only connecting to one other room. There is no coffe or tea in the room, but we were served coffe from the small dining area by the reception when asked for it. 200 bath in deposit for the keys which was returned after room inspection. Everything worked flawlessly and wifi was ok. There is a separate "cleaning" room with a faucet. The beds were comfortable and staff was very gentle. We would stay here again! Good pricing! Coming in saleng from a nearby village to Prachuap, the drive over the bridge over the railway felt a bit dangerous. So instead we went around and took the smaller roads downtown Prachuap. Good parking right outside the room. The small dining area also has a "bare necessities" corner for anything you might have forgotten, toothbrush, underwear, sanity, baby powder, deodorant, instant noodles etc. Very thoughtful. 7-eleven is however right around the corner. Breakfast could have served some fruit and it had been absolutely perfect.

My husband and I were over the moon to find this gem of a place as we travelled through Prachuap Khiri Khan on our way down south. So please with the place...especially for the price. Only thing that may be an issue for some is the location - it's far from the beach and pier which is pretty much the main strip of activity in the town so best to stay here only if you are happy to drive a scooter (with they have for rent at only 150 Baht!) We arrived from the train late at night and the hotel is a good 20 minute walk in the dark from the train station to best to grab a tuk tuk if you find yourself in the same situation. I had only booked our room 30 mins before via Agoda but upon arrival this was no issue and we were shown several rooms to choose from. We chose one upstairs and one downstairs seemed to have a slight damp smell but the one we stayed in was absolutely fine. The hotel is essentially a large villa that has been converted into a small hotel and during our time there the reception was always manned by one thai lady who had perfect English or a second thai lady who has almost no english, however was always extremely friendly. nothing was too much trouble and we had a few giggles as we tried to communicate together. Rooms were super clean and free wifi worked perfectly. Approx 10 min drive on scooter to the beach. Highly recommend a visit to the temple on the hill in the centre of town which is inhabited by monkeys!

Looking for a cheap thai hotel next to the city beach in prachuap? Mont Talay is your place. Do not expect anything fancy or very clean. Fan rooms go for a hard to beat rate of 420 baht only! Including balcony and seaview! The slightly more expensive aircon rooms have a refrigerator but no balcony. Hardly recommended for budget travellers. If you are more in to fancy boutique style just go somewhere else. There is plenty of choices in prachuap.

We stayed for three nights in a very attractive, spacious and comfortable 3rd floor room. Booked on Agoda, this set us back $28/night. The room featured a frdige, whose mini-bar prices were reasonable. The view from the balcony was spectacular. Ao Noi is a lovely area, with dramatic limestone peaks at each end of the bay. On the days we were there there were noticeable swells, with an occasional wave big enough for a spot of body-surfing. The included breakfast was minimal -- coffee/tea/cocoa and toast with margerine (ugh!) and jam. However, on request, and for a bit extra they'd whip up fried rice, eggs or fruit. When we booked this room we hadn't actually realized how relatively isolated the place was. We soon realized that we really needed to rent a motor-scooter to get around and to get to dining options, esp. in the evening when running the gauntlet of dogs would have been an ordeal. Aow Noi Sea View's scooter price was a bit high, at 300 baht/day, but there didn't seem to be any cheaper option in the vicinity.. We put a total of about 28 km on the scooter. When we left, the owners gave us a ride into town. Since both owners -- man and wife -- came in the car, I'm confident that they were coming into town anyway. So I was startled when, upon arrival in Prachuap, we were told we owed 300 baht for the 6 km ride plus the petrol we'd used in the scooter. I protested that we probably hadn't used more than a liter of petrol and Khao (the wife) promptly dropped her demand to 200 baht, which made me think she knew perfectly well that her first ask was a rip-off. Honestly, at 300 baht scooter rental and given how little we drove it, they shouldn't have charged us for petrol at all. And given that they were coming into town anyway, they shouldn't have charged us for the ride. So a generally good experience was a bit spoiled by a sense that the owners were trying to squeeze more than was fair out of us.

We stayed in 2 different rooms throughout our 3 night stay and have to say that the rooms were quiet and very clean. The owners of the hotel are very friendly and helpful. They have a menu for breakfast/lunch (tradional & western) and have bicycles to rent. This is the 3rd time staying in Prachuap and have to say that Pancake b&b is the best stay yet! (other 2 b&b's were great too though) Prachuap is a must go for people who want an authentic Thai experience. There is delicious & cheap seafood, a clean beach at Wing 5 and a night market during the weekend. It is also a nice base point to check out tourist attractions and parks in the neighbourhood. 10/10 Will come again if possible!!

I had a really pleasant stay at Sherrys Safehouse Hostel! She was sooo kind and helped me a lot with the planning of my trip! You can always count with her help, she is a wonderful, open minded and -hearted person who loves her job and gives her guests the feeling to be at home!! You also have access to a shared kitchen and the rooms are clean, comfortable and come with a/c. The place is very well located close to all the main tourist spots Prachuap Khiri Khan has to offer :)

We were both sick/recovering from illness during our visit and found ourselves in the room most of the time. It is very basic budget accommodations, but it was also a good value and had a lovely view at the quieter end of town, which we appreciated. Beyond that, the owners were extremely nice and helpful with arranging transportation to our next spot, as well as running out to get Tylenol for us. That is the sort of stuff that goes a long way and makes a place stand out. We were very appreciative of our restful stay.

As other reviews have stated this place is not actually where the map pin shows it is, it's about another 10 minutes walk further down the road from the location shown. To put it in perspective you need to walk 15 minutes to reach the highway and a further 45 minutes to reach the seafront where everything you might actually want to see/do is located. This place is really aimed at locals with their own cars, they do have a motorbike to rent, so if you can ride a moto (and don't plan on drinking) then this place might be OK. The rooms were good, the manager spoke good enough English and was extremely helpful giving me multiple free lifts via car and moto to the seafront, no real complaints other than the location.

We really loved De Hostel. The place is super cute, clean, has what you need. The location is great. I considered staying by the water in Prachuap, but when I walked by there, that area seemed a little run down, kind of depressing-looking, and tourist-y. De Hostel is bright and well-maintained, right in town, but on a small street off of 2 of the main streets in town. There isn't much staff around--the people in the cafe (when it's open) can help a bit, and you can text the owner. We didn't need any extra help with recommendations, directions, etc, so that was fine. We also loved Prachuap, a cute, manageable-sized place to explore for a couple days.

This is a motel, so good for anybody with their own vehicle. It's quite close to railway station and mini van drop off points. However, it is several blocks away from the sea and main concentration of bars and restaurants. OK if you don't mind a bit of walking or you have your own moto. It is quite new, clean etc, but there is no daily housekeeping, so only suitable for a short stay.

We stayed two nights, and picked this place because it accepted pets. The grounds are wonderful, the cottages cute and clean, and the whole atmosphere was very comfortable and relaxing. The room was nice, bed a little hard, but loved the masonry in the bathroom. The dogs had lots of space to wander,and the cottages are spaced to as not to bother anyone else. Not far from the main highway, but feels very secluded, easy to go to all the attractions in Prachuap from there. Only small negative, was there were many soi dogs (owner's dog Bo very nice!) but the other dogs barked a lot at our dogs, and a rather old one with lots of fleas took up residency on the porch! However, not a detraction, just make sure you have a leash for your pets if you bring them. I definitely recommend this place as good value for the the price.

The resort don't even have a reception counter for check in, no proper service, a drunk Thai security guard who can't speak a word of english serve for check in. very poor maintain, restaurant has been not.operated for a long time. no conveniant shop, the resort is lying in city center, actually is 5km away from the city. using a fake account in facebook and in google map with a sheraton huahin resort to lie the resort is at beach front. very dark in the night time, i was only one room staying there, but the in Agoda booking show some rooms are sold out. worst is I call the phone number +66819718880, a lady reply the resort has a reception for check in, that is how she daring to lie. booking was highlighted pay at property, so i wany to pay at property, she answer can not, musy only pay by credicr card. Then she charge 3% added without my approval. i check around the resort was completely like abandon haunted resort. I even found a banner, the resort was up for sale. really desapoint

This is a great guesthouse close to Ao Manao beach. It's about 20 minutes from the train station, less than 10 minutes from the nearest 7-11. There's a good restaurant directly opposite and others at the seafront under 10 minutes. Emmi is a great host, more than helpful! She helped me with train times and let me check out later on my final day as it was raining. She also gave me some fantastic breakfast to go with my coffee. The room was immaculate with AC and a balcony, free tea and coffee, all for under £10. She also provides bicycles and scooters for rent. Cool cat too! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Emmi

New hotel and some confusion about finding it because it has signs for both Golden Beach Resort ( original name ) and Golden Beach Boutique Resort ( new name). Other than that it was great. Good location across from the beach. Views in every direction. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good restaurants near by. Super clean. Breakfast is fine. Bicycle and motorcycle rentals.
