Exceptional family-run hotel with genuine hospitality

Aloha Lanta was one of the highlights of my stay in Koh Lanta. The location is excellent, directly in front of the beach in Saladan and within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, walking street, and the ferry terminal. Even though it is very central, it sits at the end of a quiet dead-end street, which makes it peaceful.

I stayed in two rooms, first a town-facing balcony room and later a sea view room. Both were very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The beds are firm, typical Thai style, but comfortable with great pillows. The sea view was beautiful. The rooms are simple but well maintained and practical.

What truly makes this place special is that it is run by a local Thai family. My flight was delayed and I arrived close to 11 pm, even though reception normally closes at 9 pm. The manager waited for me, welcomed me with a beer, and offered food. Throughout my stay they helped book activities, arranged laundry, ensured daily cleaning, and were always available. When I became ill, they took excellent care of me.

Some furniture shows signs of age, but everything is clean and well cared for. The value for money is excellent. I would absolutely return.

2 Star Motel at Best / Photos Deceiving

First off I want to say that on many other trips this hotel / room would have been sufficient but on this trip and at this price I didn't find these rooms acceptable.

From the photos of the property we feel that the photographer did a great job but it does not represent it well.

To be fair if you are in the area to dive and just need a place to crash this will do but this is at best a 2 motel and out does look like there are other options.

The owners on the other hand I would like to say were so nice and pleasant. We had no complaints about them or their service. Just that this property was not what we were looking for at this point in our trip.

Lovely staff and Fine Room!

I wanted a simple room for exploring another area of Krabi and this was perfect. I elected to have a room with a fan, because I prefer natural air even on the warmer side, but they do offer both! This property is clearly well cared for.

The staff went above and beyond to help me. I arrived hobbled by an injury from earlier in my trip and they were so gracious to me! I highly recommend Aloha Lanta and it’s kind and thorough staff!

Good hotel, great staff

Our first impression of Saladan Ko Lanta was that it was a lot more touristy than we expected, but we adjusted pretty quickly. The Aloha Lanta is a short (5-10 minutes depending on our motivation) walk to the ferry dock. We mistakenly did not include air conditioning when we booked but, after the first night, adjusted pretty well with a room fan.

There is a beach of sorts 30 meters from the hotel, but there is a huge sand bar that limits swimming to high tide or the channel where power boats go in and out of the docks.

Getting to and from the hotel took us past dozens of seafood restaurants and the main road (#4245, never found a name for it) has more restaurants and street cafes, our preferred places to find real Thai food (rather than DDTT, dumb-downed tourist Thai meals). There is the Lanta Mart for food and drinks (large Chang beer for 57 Baht compared to 100-130 Baht in a restaurant), lots of dive shops, a 7-11, Lanta Massage (10% off with card from hotel).

The best thing about the hotel was Peter, the host who opened the hotel at 7-7:30 a.m. and closed it at 9 p.m. He was friendly, willing to talk with us (and interested in us), quickly worked to fix a noisy fan, and just an all around great person. When I came down with a 36-hour gastroenteritis illness, he helped my wife cancel our kayaking tour and get a half-day tour for her, provided me with a case of water, and offered to get me electrolyte powder from pharmacy. Can't say enough good things about him.

Wish we stayed longer

We stayed here over New Year for 4 nights and wish we had stayed longer! The hotel staff who were also the owners were great and nothing was too much trouble. We booked a family room and got 2 rooms adjoining. The view from our balcony was really fantastic. For this time of year it was also very well priced and better than our previous accommodation 5km further on. Its also in a good position close to the ferry, lots of restaurants nearby. As for beaches there are lots to chose from but we liked Long Beach which was a short tuk tuk ride. If we ever return to this part of Thailand we will be staying here!

Too expensive, not at the beach.

No beach. Some rooms overlooked the water but the nearest actual beach was 2.5km away. Paid quite a lot more than other people paid given their reviews online. More than double actually. No refunds or changes to my booking past a certain point. Neighborhood was safe but filthy/unsightly. Closeby was the touristy part of the Saladan area with many restaurants and shops.

The room was adequate with a mini fridge but no minibar. 2 small bottles of water/day for free. Old TV, small but lots of channels. No side table or closet for luggage. No lamp for reading only bright ceiling lights with switch far from bed.

Owners were lovely and helpful. If I got the same rate as the guests who posted before, I wouldn't expect more from this hotel. I could have done better with my money in Koh Lanta.

Amazing location & employees, outdated facilities

The location is right by the pier that the boats come in to Koh Lanta. We got a room with an ocean view and it was stunning! The young man who was the only employee we interacted with was very nice and helpful (we ended up also renting a motorbike for the day from him for 200 baht). The hotel is pretty old and doesn't have too much charm, but the price is right, there's AC, beds were fine. All in all I would recommend!

Disappointing, Not as described, Looked different

The property was under renovation/construction. The bathroom downstairs did not work. There was no hot water, which was not mentioned. The property is a waterfront facility but you can't swim at the so-called beach. Rocks are everywhere plus it is very close to the pier, so oily spots from the boats are floating on top flight of the water. The room was not clean, wet, with bugs and other insects, facing the construction site instead of promised garden view. The hotel itself and the beach look differently compare to what they looked on the pictures at hotels.com. The owner forced me to check in although I was very disappointed and did not wish to stay. I was trying to cancel the reservation and get the refund. They did not let me do so. However, I could jot stay their and had to move to a different hotel down the Cost line and pay extra money. The pay for Aloha has not been refunded.

Incredible staff, mediocre hotel

We stayed 2 nights in this hotel. It's run by a father and son duo. We dealt primarily with the sun and he was incredibly helpful. In some other reviews, it says that the hotel is close to the beach. This is misleading. While there just a tiny tiny beach close to this hotel, it's not really one you would want to spend your time at. The real beaches (that are 1.5miles+ long) are closer to the middle of the island. Although clean, the hotel is quite dated. The TV, for example, is the first non flat screen TV I've seen in many years. If you don't plan on using it, then this is no big deal. The bed is rock hard and the pillows are quite thick. Both myself and my partner woke up in considerable neck and back pain after our first night. We informed the owner and he added some quilts underneath the sheets. While we very much appreciated his kindness and efforts to improve the condition, it only helped a little bit.

At the end of the day, this hotel is far from the beach, we didn't have a view of the water, it's dated and the bed is uncomfortable. The staff are very very nice and helpful and seem like great people. But for a vacation, that simply isn't enough.

Location is near north of island, beside a beach.

Not so good:
Can hear music coming from vicinity at night, I think its a club.
The area close to the hotel is very dark, the streets are empty at night.
Beach beside hotel not very popular, the nice beaches are in the middle and bottom of the island.

Par où commencer… Le personnel de l’hôtel est absolument adorable, à l’écoute de vos besoins et vous donnes de super conseils sur les activité à faire ou les meilleurs endroits où aller manger.

Les chambres sont super propres et mignonnes, il y a tout ce dont vous aurez besoin.

l’hôtel est extrêmement bien placé, devant la plage qui est quasiment vide ce qui est extraordinaire et à 2 minutes à pied d’une rue commerçante où vous trouverez tout ce dont vous souhaitez (magasins, ATM, pharmacies, restaurants, brunch etc).

Le seul problème c’est de ne plus avoir envie de partir pour rentrer chez soi !

Je vous recommande l’endroit les yeux fermés :)

Merci encore au responsable de l’établissement pour sa gentillesse et son sourire!

Enkelt, rent, trevligt värdpar

Enkelt mindre o tyst hotell i slutet av gatan.
Vi bodde bara en natt innan vi åkte vidare. Billigt o enkelt, värdparet var väldiga, trevliga o tillmötesgående. De bokade vår transport till båten, bilen kom inte i tid o de ringde flera gånger för att försäkra att vi inte skulle missa båten. Allt gick bra o vi var flera som kom sent till båten pga sena transporter, bokar man ihop med Tiger Line så lämnar inte båten även om bilen är sen.
Inget hotell att bo länge på men helt ok för en eller ett par nätter om man nöjer sig med det enkla. Vi bokade utan frukost, så vet inget om maten.

Sauberes Hotel mit tollem Personal

Hotel ist sehr einfach aber praktisch eingerichtet. Absolut entsprechend dem Preis. Das ganze Hotel ist sehr sauber, der Boden im Lobby wird ständig abgewischt.
Personal ist höchstens bemüht und kompetent, auf einem 4* Niveau.
Thema Strand - Hotel liegt tatsächlich 300m von einem Strand, man muss nur durch den Garten gehen. Auf Grund den großen Unterschieden zwischen Ebbe&Flow ist der Strand manchmal groß, manchmal klein. Es ist sicher kein besonders hübscher Strand, aber bei low Tide kann man sehr weit durch mehr spazieren und das fanden wir voll spannend.
Im Vergleich mit 5 anderen Unterkünften, die wir während unseres Urlaubes in Thailand hatten, fanden wir diesen am saubersten. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.
Einziges Minus waren die Tücher, wir haben nur einen Badetuch pro Person bekommen, keine kleinere für Hände, wir haben aber auch nicht nachgefragt, ob die Möglichkeit besteht.

Huippupalvelua ja mukavaa majoitusta sopuhintaan

Olimme neljä yötä Aloha Lantassa.
Sijainti lähellä kylän keskustaa rauhallisessa kulmauksessa rannalla oli hyvä, vaikka parhaat uimarannat olivatkin vähän kauempana - niihin pääsi kulkemaan skootterilla. Rantapyyhkeet saa mukaan Alohasta. Myös Lantan keskustaan Saladaniin sekä satamaan oli lyhyt, vain muutaman minuutin kävelymatka.
Huoneet olivat perussiistit ja siivottiin päivittäin. Aamupalaa ei Alohasta saa, mutta viereisestä ravintolasta vain 100 metrin päästä sai.
Parasta paikassa on ystävällinen ja todella palveluhenkinen henkilökunta, jolta sai vinkkejä ja apua monessa asiassa. Yksi seurueestamme satutti jalkansa myöhään illalla vastaanoton ollessa jo kiinni, jolloin isäntäväki haki jäitä ensiavuksi sekä käytti autollaan lääkäriasemalla, jossa olivat myös mukana tulkkaamassa ja odottivat tutkimusten ajan sekä toivat takaisin hotellille.
He myös puhuivat hyvää englantia (ei mikään itsestäänselvyys monessa paikassa). Majoitusliike ei ollut mikään viiden tähden resortti, mutta ei sellaista kyllä luvannutkaan. Mielestämme esittelystä ja kuvista saa paikasta varsin todenmukaisen käsityksen.

Hotel im Zentrum des Massentourismus

Das Hotel wurde über Expedia gebucht. Es wurde mir hierzu ein Transfer angeboten, der mich zu einem völlig falschenHotel brachte, weswegen mir Unkosten von ca. 45,- € entstanden, von der verschwendeten Zeit von zusätzlich 2 Std abgesehen, die jedem eine Freude ist, der schon ca. 20 Std Reise hinter sich hat!

Im Hotel angekommen, war der Service gut und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer waren recht groß. Der Meerblich war eher sperrlich. Die Sauberkeit war angemessen. Die Lage ist einfach nur enttäschend. Man ist umgeben von Massentourismus.

Für den Preis (Peakseason) von ca. 60,-€/Nacht findet man locker etwas südlicher mit schönerem Strand, weniger Tourismus ein besseres Hotel. Ich habe mich umgehört: Der Preis für einen sauberen, am Strand gelegenen Bungalow(!!!! NICHT NUR ZIMMER) liegt bei ca. 20€,-/Nacht.

Ich werde in Zunkunft nicht mehr über Expedia buchen!
