PapaCrab Boutique Guesthouse — Hotel in Kamala

Our first trip to Kamala and we stayed at Charlys guest house for 8 days I’ve never been made more welcome Charly went above and beyond for us incredibly helpful great advice recommended restaurants all were fab a tailors where I had two dresses made helped us when our taxi did not turn up when we were leaving also which I found incredible my face oil got knocked over and smashed and Charly took it upon him to order me another and posted it to our next hotel forever grateful. rooms are small but compact I did struggle with the mattress and could have done with a topper you get 2 bottles of water daily there’s a fridge and kettle provide own tea coffee etc safe box wifi ,the bathroom is small but has everything you need and the most incredible lemon grass shower gel and organic soap|,the hotel is small and has a beautiful entrance lobby where Charly is on hand to help there are also 3 beautiful cats as I am a cat lover this was great for me ,i also was given an ironing board and iron for the entire time I was there ,the situation of guest house is fantastic just outside you are on walking street lots of lovely restaurants bars and shops 7/11 is very close 5 mins to the beach also food market and taxi rank we had a perfect stay...

What a fantastic small guesthouse. Set in the heart of Kamala beach near the restaurants and 2 minutes from the beach the hotel has 11 or 12 rooms with ensuite. Whilst the rooms are not huge they are more than enough with a large comfy bed, wardrobes and air con. The shower is spacious and the water pressure perfect. The rooms are very clean.|The most important thing is your host Charles who is the absolute best he is always available to help you. When you enter the premises you cross a little bridge over the koy pond and if you are lucky you will be greeted by one of the cats. There is always time to have a little sit down in the cool reception area. We stayed for a week and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again it was...

As per other reviews Charly is a gem of an individual with a deep personal connection the town and wants you to love the place as much as him. His recommendations for breakfast and dinner were spot on, important as we were only there for 2 nights. Our room was good and we enjoyed the firm mattress and slept well. The bathroom was a little tight but didn’t detract from our enjoyment and the shower was decent with lovely lemongrass shower gel. He arranged our transfers and these were the same price as Grab so good value. Charly is clear on what the property does and doesn’t have and he fulfils on the promises he makes. Great location and great value...
