Superb Stay in Krabi – Spacious Room & Peaceful Location I had a wonderful stay during my recent trip to Krabi. The room was very spacious and came with three individual beds, which was perfect for our group. The amenities provided were great, and the pool was clean and well maintained. The location is also very convenient — a 7-Eleven store is just a short walk away, and overall accessibility was excellent. The area is peaceful and quiet, ideal for anyone looking to relax and unwind. If you're looking for nightlife, parties, or pubs, Ao Nang would be a better choice as it's just a few kilometers away. But for a calm and restful stay, this place is perfect. Highly recommended!
“I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet. The staff provided excellent service and were always polite and helpful. The location is very convenient, close to shops and restaurants. Overall, great value for money. Highly recommended!”
The service rendered was unsatisfactory and did not align with the expected value proposition for the expenditure. A charge of 38,000 INR for a two-day period is deemed excessive. The hotel's geographical positioning is inconvenient, as it is situated a considerable distance from the beach. The bathroom amenities were substandard, notably lacking a partition, and the soap and shampoo dispensers were depleted, although individual tubes were subsequently provided. Additionally, a faucet in the bathroom was leaking, rendering it inoperative. The provision of pickup and drop-off services was either limited or entirely absent, and the culinary offerings were insufficient. It is proposed that the appropriate booking rate for this establishment should not exceed 6,000 INR. Furthermore, despite spending New Year's Eve at the hotel, no celebratory event was organized, and attempts to secure a taxi were unsuccessful due to unavailability. While a self-drive scooter service was advertised, the reception staff demonstrated a lack of interest in facilitating a rental. The proximity of a 7-Eleven store is the sole positive aspect identified. Booking through MakeMyTrip is also not recommended.
