Uphill Cottage
Compare prices
Uphill Cottage is a lodging property situated on Ko Phi Phi in Krabi Province, positioned away from the crowded beachfront strips that define much of Phi Phi's busier tourist zones. Its hillside setting provides a quieter base for travellers who want access to the island's famous beaches and scenery without being in the thick of the nightlife and congestion that characterises lower-lying areas. Guests can expect a modest, cottage-style accommodation experience rather than a resort with extensive facilities. The property suits travellers who prioritise location and simplicity over luxury amenities. The front desk and reception operate daily from 07:00 to 21:00, so guests arriving by late ferry should plan accordingly, as after-hours check-in may require advance arrangement with the property. Good to know: Ko Phi Phi is accessible only by boat from Krabi Town or Phuket, and getting to an uphill property typically involves navigating uneven paths or steps with luggage, which can be challenging in the heat. Travellers with heavy bags or mobility concerns should factor this in before booking. Checking the property website directly at uphillcottage.com for current room availability, rates, and any updated policies is recommended, as price levels are not publicly listed and may vary by season.
