Pros:

Very disappointed with this hotel. My heart sank when we were shown the room. Described as boutique & there is nothing boutique about it! We booked a Superior double room which was nothing like the pictures on the website.very shabby & worn & dated. Very dark at the rear of the hotel. The shower was a dribble not what you needed after being at the beach. The doors didn’t fit the casings.. The view from the balcony was onto a dumping ground. I asked to be moved as wasn’t happy with the room & was told nothing else available. The Staff were not helpful or friendly at all. Not approachable. Housekeeping was hit & miss with toilet roll & towel supply. Building work going on all day at the front of the hotel too. Heard a guest ask for an extra blanket & he was charged 300 baht for it. We will never book this hotel chain again.

Needs a lot of work.
Pros:

Location was fab.walk out of hotel and amongst everything. Rooms were old and smelly. We asked to be moved but apparently there were no other rooms. However another couple complained angrily and they got moved. Hardly any beds around the pool. Pool was old and needed work. Jacuzzi didn’t work. The hotel overall needs a good refurbishment.

Building site .
Pros:

I booked a room for me and my and my son (14) . On arrival I was told that my son wasn’t booked in the hotel only breakfast and I had to pay for his bed for the 11 nights . I spoke to love holidays who got onto the hotel and it sorted the next day . That first evening we was put into a room and my sons bed was jammed into what space was left .. the next morning they moved us into a room which we payed for on the spa wing which seemed perfect at the time . These rooms are over looking a building site which is extremely loud . We are out most of the day but first thing in the morning the sound of tin sheeting being thrown about and sdr drills diggers etc is a bit too much . The hotel is lovely but I would have booked somewhere else if told about these issues .. I can’t even ask for another room as these are going to be too small and I’ll be back to square one .

Pros:

We have returned to this hotel many times over two decades, so have seen many changes in and around the hotel and Krabi beach.
The breakfast buffet overlooking the beach and islands is undoubtedly its best feature. Friendly and willing staff come a close second, and the quiet secluded pool with well-established vegetation and palms wraps up its best points.
This is an old hotel and, despite recent revamps, still remains a bit tired - if you accept this flaw due to its longevity, then all the benefits can be enjoyed!
We will certainly stay again..

We just keep coming back
Pros:

We just keep coming back for a reason. We love the place. If you take a room on the far side of the pool it is much quieter than the road side. It is very much in original condition , a little rustic , a little worn but very agreeable. The staff are particularly good and cannot do enough for you. The breakfast / dining / bar area is spectacular . Some of the best views you will ever have whilst enjoying happy hour drinks. The pillows are recognised as the best in any hotel at any price we have ever experienced. We have now stayed here 5 times and already planning to stay again next July ....

Great stay in the heart of AoNang
Pros:

Stayed a couple of nights after a busy time in Bangkok ! The rooms are a good size and adequate. Yes they could do with some updating but do a job for the price and would not stop me staying again

The location is great and is right in the heart of the town and next to long boat pier which is a bonus ! The real pearl is the restaurant location overlooking the beach as you breakfast in the morning

Noise did not bother us from the outside of the hotel , if had any gripe it would be that not enough sun beds as space is limited around the larger of the two pools but very little time spent for it to be a problem ! More than compensated by the rooms having a patio with two comfy lounge chairs

Enjoyable stay πŸ‘

Beachfront accommodations with lots of opportunities for exploring Ao Nang
Pros:

This hotel is in the heart of Ao Nang. The accommodations are lovely, though could perhaps use a bit of updating/upgrading. The location was beautiful, with easy access to the beach, main strip of shops and restaurants, as well as tons of excursions you could sign up to attend. We did a half day elephant sanctuary visit and a day long boat tour of the Phi Phi Islands. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. It can be a bit loud, as it's right on a very busy street where people are out until late at night/early in the morning going to the bars and restaurants.

Family holiday
Pros:

The location is perfect, right by the beach and near the long boat stops and easy to get everywhere from here… Ideal location. Outside of the hotel is very pretty but the rooms are very dated. Beds rock hard. Swimming pool does not really get any sunshine so great for sitting in the shade but not enough seating around the pool. Breakfast is also very limited - Pretty much Eggs & bread…but enough to start the day but go early as otherwise no tables left.

The best in Ao Nang
Pros:

We have stayed at the Inn 10 times over the years and it was wonderful to be back once again. There are many reasons we continue to make this our hotel of choice when we go to Ao Nang. It is situated in the heart of Ao Nang meters from the amazing beach, there are dozens and dozens of restaurants, shops and bars at your door step and the central pool is surrounded by lush tropical trees and plants.
There are various room types but we always stay in room 1110 one of the awesome pool side deluxe rooms. The pool is steps away from the rooms. We were very happy to see our room completely renovated from the older style to new modern fittings, brand new beds and brand new bathroom, AC and TV. Management informed us that they plan to renovate all rooms which I am sure will only attract even more guests.
Poda Kitchen, the onsite restaurant is where you will eat your amazing breakfast overlooking the beach. Do try eating lunch or dinner here also as the food is as good as anywhere and they specialise in Southern Thai cooking.
But the biggest reason we keep coming back is the exceptional staff. All of them are so kind, generous, polite always smiling and saying sawatdee kah. I wish I could remember all of their names but a big shout out and thank you to Hong, Ajima, Tran-Ya, Sunny, Nid, Humm, Hafis, Rich and the very, very special Saiman the Manager of the Inn.
We obviously love this place and never have or will look for another property in Ao Nang. We can’t wait to go back in March next year!
Do yourself a favour and consider staying at the Inn, you won’t be disappointed.

Great introduction to Ao Nang
Pros:

A beautiful small hotel located on the corner of the beach with a bustling shopping street to one side and the beach road on the other.
Rooms are simple but adequate. Our room on the ground floor had sliding doors leading onto the pool area. The pool was beautiful with trees & plants hanging around it's perimeter. It was a tranquil place to spend a few hours. Breakfast is a simple affair but enough to get the day started. The views onto the beach at breakfast are beautiful.
Walking onto the main road filled with eateries, shops etc is a bonus.
I would definitely come back to stay for a few days.

Location 5 star/ hotel 3 stars!
Pros:

Location is perfect if you want to stay in the heart of Aonang! We were so relaxed about going to the beach or heading out for a meal or taking long boat to Railey beach etc etc…

Aonang beach is very chill and with great view! However as the hotels location is very central the bars live music is nonstop everynight so beware of this situation.

As for the hotel- definitely needs upgrade especially the food and dining! Breakfast and dining I would rate 2 so dont get your hopes up about lunch or dinner at the restaurant.

The rooms too need upgrade, however we were okey with the sliding doors coming out because we were enjoying our holiday. However hotel needs to get a hold of this issue once and for all.

Overall we enjoyed the hotel and pool area. Location is what rates this hotel high! But if you ask me if Id go back, I would probably say yes!!!

Pros:

Property is in great location, the problem is the property itself is horrible. The rooms are old and outdated and inconsistent. Water pressure one minute super hot one minute super cold. Showers

Don’t be fooled by the picture on the TV about the food that is not what you’re getting,, We ate dinner there once because I wasn’t feeling good to go out and the food was horrible

I mean, you would think you’re in Thailand how hard would it be get some pineapple rice and it taste good but this was the complete opposite ,, The pizza was dry and dusty ,, As I said great location, but the hotel itself is in poor condition

Needs urgent renovation
Pros:

Old outdated hotel. Noisy personnel slamming on doors all through the morning. The photos are much better than what the property really is.
Location is good though and breakfast buffet almost on the beach, are the two positive facts.
Need renovation urgently

The most wonderful way to celebrate our 30th anniv
Pros:

Wonderful and friendly service, smack in the centre of town yet quiet, breakfast facing the beach, mature landscaping, firm and comfortable bed and linens, reasonably priced, currently being upgraded. Except for some slippery and sharp-edged tiles, what’s there not to like?
