Pros:

Das Hostel ist gut gelegen in Krabi Town.
Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer für einen guten Preis. Das Zimmer war relativ sauber und man hat 2 Handtücher bekommen diese wurden aber nicht ausgetauscht.
Toiletten und Duschen teilt man sich diese wurden aber gut sauber gehalten. Seife wäre noch wünschenswert gewesen ansonsten alles ok.
Man kann in der Unterkunft auch ein günstiges Frühstück bekommen mit Eiern und Toast. Nichts wildes aber reicht aus.
Personal ist freundlich.

Nachts ist es halt bisschen lauter, wenn manche Leute meinen mitten in der Nacht zu telefonieren oder Musik zu hören und die ganze Etage zu unterhalten :)
Hostel halt
Preis-Leistung aber vollkommen in Ordnung
Danke!

Nice quiet hostel!
Pros:

Chanchalay was a great little hostel! The facilities were clean and the location was awesome. Staff was really friendly and helpful. There’s no wifi in the rooms and the common area closes at 10pm which was a little inconvienant. Showers were also freezing cold. There’s not much of a atmosphere but we just came off of phi phi so it was nice to have a bit of a break from socializing. If your looking for a clean, quiet and easy stay I would for sure recommend chanchalay!

Helpful Hotel Staff and Spacious Room
Pros:

Gorgeous design. Love the colours of blue and white. The toilet is very big! The room was very spacious as compare to the other hotels I stayed in krabi. It's close to a few cafes, bistro, bars, family mart, 7-11, krabi river and night market. The staff was very helpful, I had informed them that we will be checking out at 5am due to an early flight and they had even assisted us in reminding our driver to pick us up to the airport.
