The Verandah

Amy said, "The Verandah Hotel in Ao Nang is about 45 mins drive from the airport, but only about 10 mins of leisurely walking from the beach. We booked 5 rooms which were spread across 3 floors of this lovely budget hotel - very clean and better than expected, considering we paid about THB 850 per room per night. Comfy spacious tiled rooms with attached bathrooms, heated showers and air-conds. Just across the street from city comforts like McD s, Swensen s, 7-11, various hawker stalls / restaurants and numerous massage shops and day tour outlets. Breakfast was buffet-style with cereal, milk, coffee, ham, eggs, sausages, toast, buns, bacon and local fruits. If I ever return to Krabi, I d stay here again :)"

Kylie said, "Was in a fantastic location but that was about the only good point. Staff had next to no english so booking trips was easier at the thousand other tourist info places, but they were friendly. Rooms were spacious but we did get flea bites here, the shower was either hot or cold - no inbetween and the air conditioner sounded like a jet plane but did help drown out the sound of the clubs at the back of the building. Breakfast was probably the worst we had in 5 weeks in thailand."

Anders said, "Very good. It is appr. 5 min walk to the beach and close to restaurants and shops. But it can be a bit noisy from the bars close by. They do not have a pool but the guests are allowed to use a pool at the resort next doors and this is really good. The rooms very are clean and quite spacious and also have private safety boxes. It is budget and not luxury but I found the verandah being a better place to stay than other hotels in the same price catergory in Ao Nang. Would stay there again."

Ben said, "Excellent hotel for the money, the rooms are basic but very clean and comfortable with a/c and tv fridge etc. Breakfast is worth getting up for and teh voucher for the use of the pool in the 5 star hotel nxt door is superb. Would stay here again definatley"

Chew said, "Location of hotel was good within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We were very satisfied with the room we had although the hot water shower didn t work very well during our stay. Staff are very friendly."

My room comes with a safe too to keep all my important documents. Also very important is that the bathroom was also clean. As with Thai hospitality, the staff was friendly and helpful. The other plus point is its strategic location. It s only 5-10 minutes walk to Ao Nang beach and about 15-20 minutes walk to the other side of Ao Nang town. One can easily take a 5-10 mins tuk-tuk or songthaew rides to Klong Muang or Nopparatharat beach. One thing to note is the hotel does not have an elevator since it s only 3 or 4 storey high. So guests with heavy luggages will find it a little inconvenient. Just one block away, there is a row of bars & pubs which stay open till past midnight. I could hear some faint music coming from those bars but it did not bother me at all because the sound was rather faint and I am not that sensitive to sound."

Mohamed said, "Truely enjoyed my stay. 5mins walk to the beach. The staff needs to smile more. Overall im satisfied with the service provided."
