Description
One of only a handful of places that's actually located in the streets of Ton Sai village itself, Kinnaree bills itself as a boutique guesthouse and it makes a great first impression. Ceramic frangipanis studs the reception's concrete floor, and its blue-painted wooden facade stands out from surrounding monochromatic shophouses. Rooms are painted in eye-catching (or -shocking) hues of purple, turquoise, tangerine, pink and lime green. Their decor is sleek and sophisticated: contemporary Thai, with paintings and wood carvings in every room. Though very clean, most rooms are smallish, some made more so by walls painted in darker shades, and none of them have views of anything but the walls of surrounding buildings. All come with cable TV (HBO, ESPN, BBC etc), air-con, hot water and minibar. Breakfast is also included. Kinnaree is a short walk to the beach and metres from shops and restaurants. They also have a second outfit just around the corner which has similar offerings; its down the small lane directly opposite the Irish Pub. The largest beach bars on Phi Phi are just around the corner, so some rooms may get noisy at night. The staff here are great. They're usually booked solid in and around high season.

Guest feedback
Small rooms, lots of mozzies - 
By travelrock ( total comments: 21 
) Stayed here 11/2005
Rooms here were 1400B and small. Good bed and TV but the bathroom was full of mozzies and the rooms are small and not soundproof. Woken up by noisy drunks. Poor value but Phi Phi has lots of overpriced resorts. I wouldn't stay here again.

Phi Phi Hotel
129 Moo 7, Ton Sai village, Ko Phi Phi
The Phi Phi Hotel was badly damaged by the tsunami, but has rebuilt and reopened. The initial effect upon entering is that of a flash, high-class hotel, but on closer inspection -- yikes! The cheaper rooms have no balconies and views of crummy alleys. The more expensive rooms have more amenities... more
Phi Phi Inn
Ton Sai village, Ko Phi Phi
This place was just about wiped out by the tsunami, but it bounced back quickly and has been back to its old self for quite a while now. Owned by the same family as nearby Pier Guesthouse, the Phi Phi Inn is a slightly wealthier cousin, with nice hotel-style rooms with tile floors, TVs, fridges,... more
Hotel H.C. Andersen
Ton Sai village, Ko Phi Phi
Packed in at the end of a narrow alley in Ton Sai village, this anomalous little place is half-hotel, half-guesthouse. The rooms are cramped, but they all have air-con, fridge, and TVs with DVD players -- as well as private baths. All rooms have optional air-con in the low season, but mandatory in... more
