Ao-Nang Sunset Hotel — Hotel in Krabi Province

I have stayed in this hotel for 4 nights and I will outline the pros and cons:||Pros:||(a) Great location, 2 to 4 minutes walk to Ao Nang Beach and plenty of shops and restaurants. There is a 7/11 store just opposite the hotel and a few money exchange places to change your GBP, USD, Euros and so on to Thai Bahts at decent rates.||(b) Lovely and friendly staff - the people at the reception were great and helpful especially Malinee, Fadila (I think that is her name) and Abdur Rahman - and the receptionist who works on night shifts was very highly entertaining to say the very least but very helpful||(c) Nana Restaurant - good place for breakfast and staff were warm and friendly||(d) Clean and spacious room - I couldn't complain about this as I had a comfortable bed and no insects!! = even though I didn't have the best views but that isn't a problem so long as the room is clean and I can sleep well without any disturbances||(e) As a muslim traveller from the UK, the area is predominately Muslim with plenty of Halal eateries and Masjid Ao Nang is a 20 minutes walk from the hotel. In addition to this, the room I was staying had the Qibla direction for prayers which was more than handy for me as I pray 5 times daily.||(f) Cleaners - they did an exceptional job cleaning my room daily||(e) Price - this is reasonably priced for what you are getting - don't expect 5 star treatment like what you get at Hilton or Intercontinental||||Cons: (there is only one con)||Communication - this is where I feel that some staff need to improve their English a bit especially if the hotel is catering for tourists. It has been emphasised by other users on here as well so I would kindly ask the management of the hotel to look into this so we can have better communication but at the same time it would be good for tourists to learn a few phrases of the Thai language to help and improve things too.||||All in all, I loved this hotel and would highly recommend this to anyone because of the location and the friendliness of the staff. If I come to Krabi again, I will book into this...

As a frequent traveler​ (42 countries)​ I would say that Ao Nang Sunset Hotel is a small, inexpensive, simple hotel, below standard in terms of equipment and service, although the staff is friendly. The pool is 9x4,5 meters. 6 sunbeds. 5-6 minutes to the beach where many longtail boats are waiting (not for swimming there). The hotel has a wifi network that is old, weak, and unsafe, according to warning messages you get on your computer daily. Several times we must tell the cleaning lady when the toilet paper, drinking water, and soap run out in our two rooms. For breakfast, yoghurt, cheese, scrambled eggs, nor omelet are served, but cold fried eggs and cold pad thai, probably from last night. When the fruit platters were empty, we had to notify the restaurant staff, who didn´t keep track (this happened every day). We pointed out fundamental deficiencies and asked for compensation - 5 hs late check-out free of charge (due to our evening flight from Krabi, and my wife had food poisoning and needed to stay in bed), but the hotel manager charged 1,000 THB extra. I replied that I prefer to write positive reviews. Then we got to keep one of the two rooms for 3 hours at no extra cost. Otherwise, our 3-week trip to Thailand was successful with...

Central to the night life. A 5-minute walk to Ao Nang beach, a 2-minute walk to a small night market, and a 15-minute walk to the big Landmark night market (overrated). Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distances. If you want peace and quiet, you will NOT find it here. It's right across from a few bars that have live bands 'til 12:30AM. We stayed for 3 nights, 4th floor. There's an elevator, so no worries about walking the stairs. The room was clean and spacious, but the western theme furnitures were a bit too much. There're in-room coffee/tea and mini fridge. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The Wi-Fi signal in our room was not strong to upload/download. Bathroom has shower curtain and the water pressure was great. The staff was accommodating and tried their best to keep the customers happy. The pool was rather small, but convenience to have for a quick dip. Recommended for those who want the night life but not for those who want...
