"The cost performance was excellent!
I travel to resorts in Southeast Asia two or three times a year. This was my first time in Krabi in over 10 years, and there was little information or reviews from Japanese people, so I had a hard time choosing a hotel.
All the hotels in Ao Nang Beach were not the best! There were always bad reviews about the smell of the sewage and humidity, so I decided to try Krabi Town, which is close to Krabi Airport, since I arrived late at night. This was a big hit! It was a wonderful hotel that I couldn't believe was 9,000 yen for two nights for two people.
Good points
1. There is an elevator. This is rare because it is not common in Krabi. Comfortable.
2. There are many restaurants within walking distance. Several dim sum restaurants that are open from early in the morning, Thai food, seafood, pizza restaurants, etc. that are open until late. You will not have any trouble finding a meal. I chose the breakfast-free plan and went to a restaurant that had delicious dim sum and fried chicken!
3. It was about 5 minutes by Grab to the center of Krabi Town. It was easy to go to the night market. It's not the hotel's fault, but it's hard to catch a Grab, so it's better to have plenty of time.
④ The staff are all kind and nice. Even if they can't do something, they will think of the next solution. I was especially taken care of by the two veteran-like ladies.
⑤ Cleanliness
The linen was clean and the pillows smelled good.
Points that could be improved
① No safety box in the room
There was a rental safety box, but the number was limited and I didn't know how to use it. So the lady staff lent me a hotel lock box shelf?
② Hair dryer
Rental system. The wind pressure is very weak, but within the acceptable range.
③ Weak soundproofing of the room
You can hear the sound of the hallway. Since I arrived late at night, I was taking a shower late, so I was knocked on the door from next door. It's quiet at night, but I can bear it for this price, and the other customers were mostly calm Westerners traveling alone or couples, so there was no noise.
④ Size and ease of use of the toilet, washroom, and shower room
It's very spacious and clean. The shower is designed so that water doesn't splash into the toilet, and it's spacious and stress-free. There are no clogged drains or smells. The exhaust fan is always running, so there's no humidity. The water pressure isn't strong, but the hot water comes out well.
⑤Credit cards cannot be used or charged. This is true throughout Krabi, not just at this hotel.
You can't flush toilet paper, but there is a Thai-style toilet shower! I was confused at first, but it's comfortable once you get the hang of it.
In any case, this is the best value for money hotel, so I highly recommend it."
