When we first arrived the room had hair all over the floor and stains on the top sheet. All mirrors in the room plus patio door hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long.
Didn't get any better outside. By the pool there were cigarette butts everywhere, broken tiles in the pool and planted pots that were broken with dirt spilling out. I have never stayed at a place so unkept. Not sure how anyone could say anything positive about this place.

I spent 3 nights at this hotel with my partner. The structure is quite dated and it can be quite noisy, but we overall had a good time. Very close to the pier that leads to Railay beach, as well as the Ao Nang area. The swimming pool and breakfast were also okay

Good Hotel

The hotel was good for the price. It is a bit outdated but everything was clean and tidy. The pool was nice and right on the beach. I stayed here the night before travelling to Railay and it was very convenient, I was allowed to check in before the allotted time which was useful. There are a few bars/restaurants down the beach which was convenient.

We liked not being in the very touristy area but was able to visit multiple times per day ( if we wanted too). All staff were very helpful and the tour shop across the road accommodated all our requests. I would highly recommend this place if you want peace and a relaxing holiday.

Great value, but room was quite dirty. Staff were very kind, included breakfast was very filling, and you cannot beat the location. Quick walk to catch a boat to Railay. Would probably choose a different resort next time just because of dirtiness of room.

Disappointed

Room was small and dirty, animals scratching at rooms roof from the outside.

Surrounding areas were loud so sleep wasn’t good and bed mattress definitely needs to be replaced, no working tv which never got resolved after I let them know about it.

Ao Nang trip

Great little find, the owner is really helpful and very nice. The breakfast was great, usual eggs and toast but also 4 or 5 thai dishes, these were great!!
We had a room around the back facing the pool, this was big and very quiet.
My only critism would be the very hard bed.

Great property - very quiet with excellent staff who were super helpful. It’s about a 10 minute taxi from downtown Krabi and you are directly on the ocean. It is also within a quick walk from the dock to take a boat to Railai.

Property is basic but clean and safe which was important for me as a solo traveler. Close to the ao nam pier but hours at the pier are different than in Aonang pier so not super convenient. Not much in the area and definitely does not give you the true Aonang perspective. Quite a distance to any massage, night market, or night life including restaurants.

On the beach hotel. Nice pool. We were on the second floor street side. Not one of the better rooms. No elevator and the room was farthest from the only stairway. Not a bad hotel but not one of the best. Not much around so taxi to Ao Nang the only option. Close to the pier for boats to Railay.

The stay was reasonable for the price and we did enjoy having their breakfast with a nice water view. Just a short walk were two great restaurants we loved (joy beach was super cool). The short boat trip to Phra Nang beach was so well worth it, absolutely beautiful beach and experience to see the cave as well as monkeys.

We did find that the hot water in the unit didn’t really get hot but we also didn’t report it to see if they could fix it.

Mye dårligere enn forventet rett og slett. Spesielt skuffet over bassengområdet som var skikkelig slitent og lite fristende og «stranden». Pluss for nærheten til fergen til Railey beach.

Der var en meget speciel lugt på værelset. Poolen var manglede en del fliser og var ikke så velholdt.. der var daglig roomservice, men der blive ikke gjort andet end fyldt vand op og redt seng. Flere gange oplevede vi at vandet slet ikke virkede.
morgenmaden var lille men rigtig fin. Personalet var super venlige.

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Meer und nicht weit von den Anlegestegen, das ist praktisch. In der Nähe gab es am Strand gute Restaurants.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war öfters nicht bestückt, man brauchte Geduld, bis aufgefüllt wurde.

A fuir impérativement !!!

Nous avions choisi cet hotel car il affichait une évaluation à 9.2 en décrivant l'établissement de fabuleux.
C'est une vaste tromperie car cet hotel de 29 chambres basiques n'est utile que pour une étape courte et pas chère.
C'est un hotel isolé de toute activité, à 6 kilomètres de AoNang et malgré cela l'accueil dit ne pas pouvoir appeler ni Taxi ni TukTuk mais seulement un tricycle avec qui elle a des accointances (ou commissions).
Le \"By the Sea\" n'en a que le nom car la mer n'est pas directement accessible mais seulement un grand marécage à marée basse.
La fille à l'accueil est antipathique voire arrogante en tous temps.
Les chambres standarts sont rudumentaires et sans aucune luminosité extérieure.et alors que nous l'avions pourtant commandé et reçue confirmation, nous n'avons pu disposer d'une chamlbre avec un grand lit que contere le paiement supplémentaire d'environ 30.00 € par nuitée.
L'environnement est bruyant et les chambres mal insonorisées.
Les équipements communs ne sont pas entretenus et en décrépitude visible.
Le ménage et le changement de draps et/ou serviettes de bain ne se font que sur demande expresse préalable du client.
La piscine n'est pas entretenue et montre de nombreux carrelages défaits ou manquants sur ses fonds.
Elle ne dispose que de 3 parasols ce qui provoque des situations ubuesques du premier arrivé, premier servi, les autres devant se rotir au soleil ou rester en chambre.
Le petit déjeuner est spartiate et servi froid la plupart du temps
