everything's good except the pool”

one thing that made me choose this hotel because of they have pool with cheap price and near the beach, but when we arrived the staff told us that the pool under maintenance, thats okay, we still can enjoy krabi without pool , we got 3rd floor bedroom, and i request to change into 1st or 2nd floor and luckily the staff can change into 2nd floor. thank u palace aonang resort

great place to stay for a few days in Krabi”

Choosing a hotel in Ao Nang was difficult with the descriptions given on the sites. We like to stay in beach front chalets and the initial impressions for most of the hotels is that they are on the beach. Unfortunately this isn't so for all but 1 (I think) which looked really expensive. The Palace was however as close as you could get, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and despite our room overlooking the main street the noise was not noticeable, and we even had wi fi from the balcony on one of the nights. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast, served under awnings outside was very refreshing, as was the pool area. The "gym room" consisted of a glass enclosure with treadmill and bike - but who needs it this close (about 150m) from the beach.

Nice but overpriced”

When I booked this hotel for me and my family, a totally of 12 persons, there were completely different pictures shown on all the different websites then the reality! It was a little bit of a disappointment when we arrived and saw the rooms but we accepted and had a lovely time at Ao Nang Palace! Close to the beach, short walking distance to everything needed and nice breakfast. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and helpful! We celebrated my mother's 50th birthday during our stay and the staff surprised my mother with a lovely birthday cake and a gift! The hotel is a bit overpriced, as everything else nowadays where many tourists stay, but really okay. Recommended!

A really good choice”

Get past the hotel frontage that also doubles up as a tourist office right on the street and you will find one of the best value for money hotels in AoNang. The staff are willing to help with anything you ask. The rooms are basic, but really clean and tidy. Breakfast is also basic but good. When we 1st arrived I didn't have a printout of the booking and were just allocated a room. Later on that afternoon I went onto the internet and printed off a copy of the booking and handed it to reception. A little while later we were asked to change rooms because they had given us a standard room when we had booked deluxe. For the extra £ or so choose a deluxe room - these are on the back of the hotel overlooking the pool instead of the street so are quieter unless you enjoy watching life go by from the balcony. We were on the top floor so had a good view but a lot of steps too.

liked it so much we stayed longer”

With reference to the reviews below mine which I took into consideration when booking, things may have changed since these people stayed at the hotel. The balcony is not 1 long communal balcony providing easy access to everyones room it is seperated by walls (though you could climb over if you desired but the point is it is not 1 long balcony). Our room looked exactly like the pictures on this site to the extent that the Superior Room photo could even be our actual room. It was nicely decorated, we were on the top floor (no lift if this is a problem for you) right at the end so we had fantastic views of the sea & it looks like all rooms on the street side would have a view of the sea (high floors at least). The other side of the building overlooks the pool & a beautiful mountain & they can probably also see the sea. The room was cleaned daily to a high standard, tea & coffee making facilities were in the room & were replenished daily along with 2 bottles of water. The pool was lovely & it also had a jacuzzi in it, we were here low season so often got the whole pool to ourselves which was great. We were booked in for 2 nights at first & booked in for another 4 after staying & seeing how lovely the place was. I gave a neutral rating on dining since we never bothered with breakfast.

Nice hotel on Ao Nang”

Nice little hotel in the heart of Ao Nang village, pool is great and breakfast was good too. Rooms are not so spacious but clean and well kept. Very helpful staff, you can ask them everything you need and be sure that you got it. You can arrange your daytrip via travel agency right in the hotel, prices are reasonable and quality of tour was good. I will reccomend this hotel for my friends.

Great Accessibility, No Frills.”

The Palace Ao Nang really offers a prime location that is only a minute from Ao Nang beach where you can launch off to the many islands for snorkelling, diving etc. Plenty of restaurants, massage saloons, tour agencies within a stone's throw of the hotel. I really enjoyed the accessibility of the hotel which allowed me to do so much within my rather short stay. I would really consider coming back again.

Not So Budget Hotel”

1st the hotel name already cause confusion. The hotel exact name is ‘The Palace Aonang Resort’ (in Blue colour). However, on Agoda is written ‘The Palace Hotel’. To make the matter worst, there is another hotel in the same road with the name ‘The Aonang Palace’. We had difficulties to reach the Hotel as the taxi driver drop us at the latter hotel. Luckily the hotel is nearby and within walking distance. 2nd, the hotel is a bit over pricey as it not exactly located by the beach side but due to high season it would be acceptable as others hotel in the area also expensive. Recommended to go to Ao Nang, Karbi within May to September as it was low season and the hotel is very cheap.

Good location with a low budget”

I stayed for 3 nights. Location is very good. Close to Aonang beach by walk and many halal restaurant around the hotel. The hotel itself serve halal breakfast for 150 bath per person. There is also plenty of 7 elevens nearby the hotel. Hotel is without elevator so you need to carry your luggage using the staircase. The hotel only have 3 floors

Exceptional”

the best hotel. The staffs were very very nice and they are very helpful. the room is big and the hotel is strategic. Near to Thai Night Food Stall, 12 minutes is you choose to walk. Have 7 eleven in front and easy access to everywhere. If I go to Krabi again, definitely I will choose this hotel.

Good enough for me”

its a nice hotel situated not too far from the beach. very strategic location in fact. the price is also reasonable. room is well kept. staff are friendly, helpful and trustworthy. though it doesnt have a lift i dont really mind. i got he room thats facing the town. its was ok and i dont mind. sat there and looked the cars, bikes and people walked around. the bar with the live band was just down the opposite road. and shuttles pass by right in front of the hotel. plus there is the tandoori night restaurant opposite the hotel. very convenient for everything. im happy i choose this hotel

Great Hotel for Traveller”

the best hotel to stay due to its location. easy access to the beach, long tail ticket counter, tuk-tuk pick up point, near to ocean mart and 7eleven to by grocer. besides, i get the best price for aonang t-shirt for 130tb each from the shop opposite the hotel. besides, foot massage near hotel only cost you 200tb for 60min compare to other place which is 250tb. also cheap and halal delicious food from hawker near by.

Cheap budget hotel dont expect more”

If u are a budget person better stay here. The location is very near the beach. 7eleven also is everywhere. No lift but its doesnt matter if u a cheapskate. Got free coffee , water heater is okay only the bed need to improve. Its hard like sleep on the rock. Hahaha, exactly what ur mission go to aonang? Want to go islandhop or want to sleep?

Nice but a bit run down”

This could be a very nice hotel but I felt it was a bit shabby and run down. It was the most expensive place I stayed at in Thailand but not the best value. Having said that, it was clean and tidy and in a good location in Ao Nang. My bedroom overlooked the busy main road but this didn't stop me from sitting on the balcony, having a few beers and watching the fabulous sunset. If you're a light sleeper though, take earplugs. Not a huge selection at breakfast and the hot items were warm not hot but it was perfectly adequate. This hotel was very popular with Scandinavian guests, think I was the only English guest, as is Krabi in general. A bit of a revamp needed but otherwise ok.

location is perfect, but room is quit old”

this hotel is the perfect location, beach is within walking distance ~1m to aonang only.But the hotel room is quit old need to upgrade. The tv channel also limited should upgrade more. Overall hotel is only average but the price overrate because if the location.

Great location, beautiful view and lovely staff.”

FANTASTIC stay, beautiful view and really close to everything...shopping, beach and restaurants. Don't understand bad reviews as I found the view and room lovely, the location excellent and the staff especially the manager, friendly and helpful. He always asked how my day was going and remembered my room # for key. One morning I was going on a cooking tour and forgot my breakfast token and the front desk simply told the breakfast staff to tick off my name rather than me going back up to my room. Great place for ALL travellers.

Great location in town with good staff services”

i went with my family and relatives which is a big group and we love this place as it located nicely in town and ao nang beach within 5 mins walk. shops are just below our hotel and easy access to souvenir/clothes/food shopping as well as massage centres! almost everything there is within our budgets as its reasonable prices. would definitely choose to stay in same hotel again in next visit.

a paradise resort”

We had a wonderful experience in this hotel. They are conducting some works currently therefore they offer the guest an upgrade to the cottage and 1 night free if you stay 2 nights. It's really a good deal. We weren't bothered by the works 'cause during the day we were out climbing and during the night they stop working. Breakfast, friendly service and cleaning were the winning points of this hotel.

not bad”

Staff sangat friendly and helpful. Close to Ao Nang Beach and Street.. But! Perlu swimming suit utk mandi kolam di hotel.. :(
