Pros:

Great location if you’re planning day trips to Similan Islands or Khao Sok National Park. Staff was very kind and attentive. The hotel is small but very nice and well kept.

Unglaublich schönes modernes Hotel mit super gutem Frühstück und exzellentem Service. Einzig das fehlende Fenster im Zimmer war etwas störend, ist aber auf den Bildern ersichtlich.

Small gem in Khao Lak
Pros:

Super hotel that feel like a private. Gem in this price range. Great athmosphere, chosy rooms. Small pool but never busy. Good breakfast with limited selection. Highly recommended. Room with balcony was a good option. Great staff.

Pros:

It is a really nice hotel, really clean, nice decoration and amazing food! The food at dinner is incredible, one of the best Thai food I had.
However, the staff is not the warmest, I don’t know if it was due to my age or because diner was already included in my booking, but some times I didn’t feel acknowledged as other customers at the hotel.
Also, I took half board for diner, and a bottle of water is not even included in the meal… that’s not normal.
Also, it is a bit noisy.

Unique User Friendly Room
Pros:

This hotel has a heavy Chinese influenced design which I enjoy. It reminds me of the Shanghai Mansion in Bangkok’s Chinatown. The storage space in my room was the most I can recall seeing in any hotel. I travel relatively light but this room had enough storage for two people to live there. The shower was huge and had a bench seat which I know some friends with some disability issues that would appreciate that. The A/C was strong, the shower was hot. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was very good. Excellent cappuccino. I ate two nights in the dining area and the food was both affordable and delicious not to mention dishes I had never seen before. Road noise was mentioned in previous reviews and with the A/C unit going I could only hear an occasional motorbike. I slept great both nights. My only complaint that I won’t let take away from my five star rating was four unruly guests from France. I heard them screaming all through the hotel at different times during the day. When they were in the small wading pool doing cannonballs and screaming I came down to talk to management about setting up a private table for me away from them. I was shocked to see the four of them were in their forties; I thought for sure they were 14/15 years old. Way to represent. The night manager was glaring at them as was a couple trying to eat. I don’t know if they were spoken to but they were gone when I came down for dinner. Aside from that amazing experience.

Rustic Thai charm
Pros:

Definitely an authentic hotel with many rustic charms and super comfortable huge bed! The breakfast was fantastic too! Only thing that was a little annoying was there were a few bugs/mosquitos and some cobwebs in bathroom/room. Otherwise loved the fact that it was small and quaint and they accommodated our super late arrival! Thanks for a great quick stay on our way between Phuket and khao sok national park!

Cheap but dont expect sleep
Pros:

A true 3 star hotel that tries to be more but facility itself is a 2 star. Cobblestone lobby that you cant pull your luggage across, Michelin award signs for lobby for what?

Good for 1 night but small rooms, a warped sliding door frame left us victim to every piped scooter and crowing rooster all night. Its too close to the main road and those roosters.

Breakfast passable and prompt and friendly staff service. Its also within walking distance to the dive shops.

Hotel Gahn is a secret gem
Pros:

What a beautiful property. This family run hotel has spared no expense on trying to recreate and immerse their guests in their Baba heritage and it really makes an impact.

Lovely facilities, a wonderfully warm team and lovely food. Try some sticky rice for breakfast!
