Sea Star House

The manager is so nice and accommodating!! He does not speak much english but he was very helpful. The room was very clean and nice. Good air conditioning. We loved this place because we knew we were going to be out exploring Thailand all day and didnt want any extraneous things at the hotel like a pool or anything. It was a great home base! It had hot water for the showers which was a plus too. Breakfast is provided by the Black Canyon Coffee place next door and it was delicious! Highly reccomend. We felt very comfortable and taken care of here.

Excellent location, excellent breakfast...very nice rooms with highspeed internet.Overall excellent experience....

This amazing little gem is located just across the street from the swimming beach and by the long boats. The breakfast was ample, tasty and fabulous. Our room was extremely clean and huge! The 24-hour reception is nice. The location for the price can't be beat. I'd stay here again, and every time I come back.

I've read a lot of reviews of other hotels and was shocked that there are a lot which are dirty, has bad personal or hard to reach. At the end I found this one and it's really clean and is located really well. I didn't expect too much but after I enter the room I was happy to get good quality for this cheap price.

We had a nice time at this hotel. It is basic, but clean, and the location is great (perfect departure point for exploring Aonang Beach and neighboring Napporat Thara Beach. There are also lots of shops & good restaurants around, but the surrounding area is simpler, more laid back, and felt much more like normal Thailand than many areas of Phuket or Pattaya, for example. It also had a very interesting Asian feel because it seemed like most of the tourists came from Thailand and other Asian countries, at least when we were there in early May (the beginning of low season).

Thisis my second time staying here. Thehotel is just perfect. Very near to the central attractions at Ao Nang. Right in front of the beach. Look for Sai, the receptionist, she is very helpful and if you're lucky enough, she will give you discount! The room very spacious, the bed can fit 3 people and complimentary breakfast at Grand Canyon is just awesome.

convenient and basic hotel near to the sea is the main advantage, but the hotel needs some maintenance jobs, like the room I stayed has a broken chain for the security lock, which I merely rely on the door knob, that every night I used the side table to block the door in case someone has the key to enter. And the washing basin knob is loosen, the housekeeping staff should report all these issues.

Great little hotel across the road from the beach bars and restaurants nearby big rooms cleaned everyday all you need for a good holiday in Ao Nang

Great hotel with clean, large rooms. Very convenient location closer to restaurants, massage places and shops. I will certainly stay here during my visit to Krabi next.

The hotel location near to everything food, massage, convention store, pub, shopping street. But having unpleasant experience with the staff (especially the ladies staff at the reception - alway show the long face and unwilling to answer to our queries)

We are having 4 nights stay in this Hotel. Sea is front of the Hotel with very conveniences place for food and shopping. Highly Recommended. Comfortable and quite a big room.. but the hotel with no Lift provided, so we need to carry our own baggage if your room is at the high floor.

I liked it. If you are not planning to stay all the time in the hotel, this is your hotel.The beach in 3 min walk, boat taxi the same, all food and shops are around. Very helpful staff. Good to stay and not pay alot. Good and stable wi-fi. Everything you need is in the room, mini-bar, washing things, kittle. I would suggest to Management to put more shelves in the room, and one more towel rack in the bath.

We had a great time in Krabi. However, it would have been even better had the hotel staff performed better. Our group booked multiple rooms for TWO weeks. When we came in and out of the hotel, there were no good mornings, goodbyes, have a nice day, did you have a nice trip, etc. The staff often walked by us like we were invisible. This is not what I expected from a small hotel. Our rooms were clean enough but only on the surface. Upon a closer look, there was a lot of dust, cobwebs, and even stains that could have been easily wiped away by a wet cloth, which I did. The cleaning staff accidentally broke my jewelry and tried to hide it under some flyers! Upon confronting the management, a half-hearted offer was made to send it to repairs. Like I was really going to leave it in Ao Nang during my vacation for repairs!! No other effort was made to compensate for the damage, which was assessed at 50 USD when I got back home. Breakfast began at 7:45. However, when you are in Krabi, you will find out that many tour companies pick up their guests between 8 and 8:30. The breakfast service was so awfully slow that a few times, we had to wait at least 1/2 hour for our food and could only take a couple of bites before we were picked up. The hotel's location is great if you are not a light sleeper. You can reach the boats, restaurants, and shopping quite easily from here but the noise persists through the night. Although at the front desk, the hotel claimed to offer airport transfer, they were too lazy to arrange one for us, saying we should do it ourselves. When we checked out of the hotel, and after having spent over 2500 USD there, they did not even say thank you or goodbye to us. Nothing. We are very frequent travellers staying often at both big hotel chains and small family inns. We had never experienced this level of unfriendliness. I don't think the staff meant to be rude. I think they just lack the proper training.

Located right near the beach and just across the street from the longtail boat departure area, Sea Star Hotel is a great choice for Ao Nang. We stayed five nights here and were impressed by the comfort, location, and convenience. The one negative comment I have is about the wifi, which was not working on the second and third floors during our entire stay. Other reviewers have commented about how great the wifi is, but that was not our experience. Overall, high ratings to Sea Star Hotel.

Room was bigger than expected, with a strong shower and comfortable airconditioning working:) there was a little mold in the shower, but we only saw it cos we were looking out for it. Do keep bathroom window closed as mosquitoes may come in. Other than that, it was a wonderfully clean hotel stay :) Very comfortable and big bed. Great service by hotel staff who lent us towels for free and got us airport transfer at the very very very last minute. Surprisingly, we could access free wifi from our rooms on the second level, so that was nice too :) If the taxis in the area don't know the hotel, just tell them to stop at Black Canyon Cafe.

When I arrived, they served immediately just to find that our names were in the booking list. Not sure if they didn't communicate well with the Agoda system or what. But no problem, since it was low season, we still got a room available. The bedroom is spacious as well as the toilet. It's not a new hotel yet the maintenance is so well. The owner of the hotel also own the BlackCanyon restaurant and FamilyMart next door, means it is convenient in case you're not a walking type of tourist.

The hotel is quiet , look like when I was there no one else in the hotel. In each floor have about 5 rooms have only 2 floors. Room is ok not too small. Shower room is big enough. Have cable tv and mini bar fridge. Outside the room have space for sitting and relax but too bad is hot no fan or air cond at all in that area. Room incl. breakfast which u will have from Black canyon restaurant in the downstairs. Just have a few choice not much.

We had a nice stay in this hotel. Room was clean as well as bathroom and the receptionist was very helpful. She helped us to get breakfast out of the restaurant opening hours as we had a very early morning trip (6am), so we had collected them in the evening before the trip. I would recommend you to hire a private boat (do not go through the agency, just asked any boat taxi driver on the beach, its cheaper) and to leave for a trip around islands before 7am to avoid all the crowds that usually leave at 9-10 am. You can enojoy empty beaches, took nice pictures and also sun is not so strong in the morning:)

We came one day earlier but they manage to find us a room. Big, clean with good wifi. It had aircon but it wasn't realy necessary (February). Accross the street is beach with long-boats for daily or long way trips/excursion. Breakfast was great with excelant coffee. Stuff was not speaking good English but they show us that words are not important but the deeds. More beautiful beach is 10 min walk away. Big recomendation.

Clean, tidy hotel centrally located in Ao Nang. Basic facilities, only one room has balcony, but TV, kettle, tea and coffee provided plus soap etc in shower. Breakfast and coffee excellent in adjoining Black Canyon Coffee House. We stayed for one night passing through and were very happy with the basic but comfortable accommodation which was good value.
