While the hotel may be a little past its prime, our stay there was quite comfortable. The room and bed were large and comfortable and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The location was a bit off a main road so nice and quiet at all times and and easy walk downhill to the beach. Plenty of restaurants, bars and convenient stores in easy walking distance. Our first time in Ao Nang and we are officially big fans and will return next time we are in Thailand.
I like this hotel very much - since I’ve stayed here a few times I get along well with the staff. Very friendly and helpful.
But, through no fault of their own, a nearby disco joint plays loudly till late at night, so for light sleepers that could pose a problem. Be sure to request a quiet room. And for guests lugging heavy suitcases or baby carriage, I would suggest a room on the first floor due to the absence of an elevator.
Excellent location, very close to the beach and restaurants, the staff is extremely friendly, I was with my mother at this hotel, we were also able to take a van from the hotel to the airport without any problem.
