Actually, I really like the location. It 's right down town-very close to the pier for going to Railay, and very near the night market. Krabi is a sleepy town, so never feels too busy or hectic. The hotel itself feels a bit tatty and unloved and is in need of some refurbishment-hence not four stars, but it 's cheap and it suited us for one night. Note-there is no elevator, so either book a room on the first or second floor or be prepared for a hike up the steps. The first floor rooms are slightly nicer with balconies.
