We spent one night in a double room with a fan. The room was very clean. The location is central but quiet. At check-in we were warmly welcomed and all our questions were answered. Also the ticket for Koh Phi Phi we could get without extra charge right at the reception. All in all, we can highly recommend the accommodation.

ホテルと書いてありますが、イメージは個室のゲストハウスです。 トイレ、シャワーは共同。アメニティー無し。 シャワーは結構水圧弱めです。 スタッフさんはとても丁寧で、共同スペースなどは常に掃除しているようでした。 宿泊中清掃などはありませんでした。(頼んだら出来るのかも。) 徒歩圏内に繁華街的なのがあるので、特にお店に困ることは無いと思います。 ホテルへの連絡はWhatsAppで直接連絡出来ました。 急な予定変更でしたが、快く対応して下さいました。 コスパ良く旅がしたい人には良いと思います！ ありがとうございました。

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!

Very nice!

I was surprised at the pleasant interior and nice room. The shower has the sky for roof. Good staff, friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast at reasonable price. I can recommend the Sa-bai massage salon just down the street to the left.
