Description
This is a pleasant spot with a nice restaurant on the ground floor offering a decent variety of fan-rooms. The decor is well done in natural woods and the best rooms have a sort of a teak house feeling, even if they are a bit dim and cramped. The family room upstairs is the best of the lot -- a good deal for the price and it has its own balcony. On the downside, the concrete rooms out back with share bathrooms are airless and stuffy. None of the rooms have hot water, but they're working on it.

Charming; not 'airless' -

In common with the other two reviewers my view of this place seemed to be somewhat different from the main review. I wasn't shown any rooms out the back; only a charming spacious room made of wood with a balcony at the front. The lady was very friendly. The only problem was lack of electrical outlet. She wanted to run an extension for me but the aesthetics of the place were that nice that I didn't want to be the one responsible for an ugly cable running across the corridor. I'd advise heading here and taking a look. If you don't like it there are ten other places nearby to choose from. You can find pictures and more info via yahoo/google/whatever...

Our room had plenty of character and a private balcony, too. Staff were friendly and considerate during our two nights there.

If those scuzzy budget rooms you've been frequenting are getting you down, the Cha-Cha-Lay offers the perfect antidote in the budget range. You can see the difference the moment you lay eyes on it -- decorated in refreshing blue and white throughout. The rooms vary in quality a bit -- the cheapest... more
K.R. Mansion Hotel
52/1 Chao Fa Rd, Krabi
K.R. Mansion Hotel is a mid-sized hotel which doesn't look like much from the outside, but is actually a very good value deal. There are a range of spacious, polished clean rooms with dark wood furnishings (and worn-out tile floors) catering to most budgets. Despite the rough edges, all the rooms... more
Thara Guesthouse
79/3 Kongkha Rd, Krabi town
Thara Guesthouse is a bit of a walk from the rest of Krabi town, but it's well worth making the effort to seek out. It's the last place stay on Kongkha Rd as you head away from town along the river and is probably the friendliest spot in Krabi, partly because it attracts mostly Thais and western... more
Ban To Guest House
22/6 Chao Fa Rd, Krabi
This place is just down the alley from the Chao Fah Guest House, but a spring running down the alley makes it mossy and hard to navigate, so it's better to arrive by going around the block. The guesthouse is brand new, bright orange, and the rooms are clean and colourful with good furnishings and... more
Green Tea Guesthouse
4 Issara Rd, Krabi
Located almost opposite the Thai Hotel, Green Tea is just behind a travel agency and internet cafe and offers a wide selection of rooms. The cheapest are shared bathrooms in the wooden house upstairs above the internet cafe. The best value rooms are located behind, and come either fan-cooled or... more
P. Guesthouse
34-36 Chao Fa Rd, Krabi
This relatively new place offers and above average rooms and has a very pleasant restaurant. All the rooms are great value for money, with hot water and TVs. The staff are great too. Definitely seek it... more
Chao Fah Valley Bungalows
50 Chao Fa Rd, Krabi
The bungalows here are down in a small valley off the road. Unlike the hotel-style places next door, it offers a bit of nature with its accommodation -- we're told the occasional monkey can still be spotted swinging from the trees nearby. The bungalows are a bit charmingly aged on the outside, but... more
Bai Fern Mansion
24/2 Chao Fa Rd, Krabi
Bai Fern Mansion has colourful, clean, well-furnished rooms, but the quality is very variable. Some are quite airy with small verandas while others are cave-like with near-pretend windows. The place really has no character at all, though they do a steady trade mainly courtesy of their aggressive... more
Cha Guest House
45 Uttarakit Rd, Krabi
The very long-running Cha has a bunch of rooms surrounding a small garden. The rooms are passable but haven't changed much over the years and some of the newer places in town are in far better condition. The cheapest rooms are incredibly cramped, with hardly space for a bed and table. The air-con... more
Area 51 Guest House
1/13-14 Soi Ruamjit, Krabi
This place looks like it belongs at one of the big beaches in Phuket -- a bar restaurant, a huge pool table, and sort of a night-time atmosphere even in the day. Its got a lot of character -- the woman who runs the place is a local DJ on the radio, and since the place is named Area 51 (just for... more
Chao Fah Guest House
22 Chao Fah Rd, Krabi
Set in a quiet, shady little alley off Chao Fa Rd, this guesthouse is pretty unique for Krabi Town and offers some really cheap, surprisingly well-furnished rooms with small balconies -- they all have private bathrooms and hot water. The lobby/reception area isn't up to much in terms of atmosphere,... more
Hollywood Guesthouse
26 Issara Rd, Krabi
This place has a very well-decorated bar/restaurant in the lobby that looks great for chilling out in the evenings. The staff are friendly, the location is quiet and all the rooms have windows overlooking the street. None of the rooms have private bathrooms, but otherwise it's a pretty good... more
Riverview Guest House
74 Kongkha Rd, Krabi
We certainly weren't expecting much when we saw the sign out in front of Jaso Holiday Tour, next to the Star Guest House, advertising rooms to rent. We were lead through the unimpressive, garage-style store front to the back and there, to out shock, we found wooden bungalows in an attractive little... more
P.A.N. Guesthouse
Uttarakit Road (near the post office), Krabi
This is a unique place in the Chao Fa pier area -- a close-to-nature bungalow outfit, with some admittedly run-down but nevertheless charming accommodation overlooking a watershed along the Krabi River. The staff are easy-going, the setting is tranquil, and there's a good restaurant on site. A... more
Generation Guest House
53/1 Uttarakit Rd, Krabi
This place was still renovating when we visited and won't open officially until October 2006. We got a peek at the rooms, though -- the fan doubles have mattresses on the floors, and most of them seem to have windows -- they put a good bit of effort into decorating them, to pleasant effect. There's... more
