Super Noisy, bad air con, but good location
This hotel is not what I was expecting, it isn't near the party places so I thought it would be quieter, it's just as loud as being at the beach party opposite the accom on the other side of bay. Our air con didn't work so they changed us room, it then rained and the roof in new room leaked and the bed was soaked. Not a good experience, barely slept for 3 nights. Staff excellent and breakfast amazing. The rooms just need more work and some more sound proofing and it would be a perfect spot.

terrible hotel .. very expensive
Terrible !! the hotel is very expensive in comparison with other hotels, upon arrival no room was available, the receptionist tried to send us to another hotel and after our rejection .. he gave us a room !! so there were rooms available initially !! no pool as is shows in the pictures on expedia !! no TV in room ... there is no lobby ! reception is just a desk next to the staircase ! there is no normal water for washing and showering .. only salty water !!! you need to buy mineral bottled water for washing ! far away from the harbor .. long walk to the restaurants and supermarkets ... very loud noise and music from the night shows on the beach till late night ... lots lots of mosquitoes.. staff hardly speak English and rude !! tired or writing more negative words about this hotel .. sad to call it a hotel !!

Better rooms on island for cheaper.
The rooms were just ok, but you have to climb 66 stairs to get to them. At least that's how many steps I had to climb to reach my room. Also, all the water in the rooms is salt water. So when you shower after swimming at the beach you are just rinsing yourself off with more salt water. And the wi-fi didn't work in the room, only down by the service counter. Also, this hotel is near all the bars and clubs. At night, you can hear the LOUD music from every bar crashing together so good luck getting a good night sleep.

Great staff room a dump
The hotel itself is situation on the far side of the noisy beach. Even though it was quite a distance you could hear the music from slinky bar at 2am and vibrations. It didn't bother me butility can imagine someone after peace it would. This hotel has lots of steps and isn't practice for anyone with walking difficulties. The room was disgusting. Not even a bed just a mattress on the floor. And having to walk through a vile dirty smelly area to get to the room. The view was great and the outside of the hotel was a nice area but this beach is very dirty full of rubbish. Breakfast was great. Really yummy. Consisted of 2 eggs 2 toast fruit and a hot drink plus juice. The staff were lovely and very helpful. I think they are doing alot of work right now so maybe the rooms will get better. They can't get any worse and look nothing like the photos. It's a shame because the staff make it otherwise a lovely stay.

Best 2* hotel ever!!!
Staff - the couple that run the hotel are so lovely. And everyone tht works there! Food - best padthai ever! All homemade. Room - basic but functional. Location - right across the bay from the party. Is noisy at night 8 -2am. But we slept through it. Right by the beach. Golden sands. Tide goes right out by evening. Is right in to the deck chairs by 12pm. Wifi - can FaceTime and stream films. Overal - best 2* resort we have ever stayed in. Would highly recommend.

Music from the clubs up the beach can be heard until 2 am. Paper thin walls so I could hear everything going on in the next room. Didn't get to sleep until 5 am! Nice location though.

Ideal for relaxing
The hotel was good for if you wanted to be close to the action but not in the thick of it. Other hotels in the town looked cramped with no view but at the beach front you woke up to a lovely view of the empty beach. At the moment there is a lot of building work going on around the hotel so the outside looks a bit scruffy and there is a bit of noise - obviously this will only be for the short term. The room we had was a hillside bungalow, quite a few steep steps up to it but the room was spacious and had everything you needed (wifi, air con, cable tv, hot shower, balcony, fridge etc). The free breakfast; although it was only a choice of fried or scrambled egg on toast was very nice and saved you walking out for 15 minutes to get to the nearest shop. Also there were free sun loungers on the beach and free use of the hotels kayaks. The staff we also lovely!!

Amazing view of the bay, but horrible experience!
The view from the terrace of the bay was great, but everything else was not. The room was very basic, and was not cleaned once. For some reason we had to change rooms after our first night, which was pretty annoying, luckily the second room upstairs was a bit nicer and had the terrace. The guy on reception tried to sell us the Maya Bay boat trip literally every time we walked past reception, which was soo irritating! Do not book the boat trip with him, it is 200 baht per person cheaper if you book in town, we paid 250 baht pp. there was a messy construction site right next to the hotel. The hotel gets raided by a group of monkeys, which is pretty scary! Our only positives are, you get wifi in room, can use there kayak for free and the view across the bay.

Great staff and good location
Great staff in this hotel, good for the price offered. Only issues are the toilets seemed to always stink, maybe offer something strong in these rooms to mask the smell. Other than that the location is good being right on the beach, you can rent a kayak and snorkels from the hotel for 100THB, 10 minute walk to the pier and all the bars, you can hear the bars music until the wee hours, I suggest either popping a sleeping tablet to sleep through this, get ear plugs, or to be so drunk that the noise doesn't bother you.. Music only seemed to go late on the Friday night while we were there (3am) but Saturday night finished around midnight. Good basic breakfast (2 eggs on toast with coffee), but this was a nice change from the rest of hotels offering the full buffet. Rooms aren't cleaned daily which is fine as it's cheap to stay here. I would recommend this hotel however unless you're used to the Ritz.

Fantastic service and charm!
Great little find this was! A bit further away from the party scene a 5 minute stroll but this was great as we could sleep when we returned! Song and Tony really made our stay enjoyable, good breakfast, Local knowledge and hired us a kayak for 100 baht a fraction of the price you would pay along the beach! Easy to walk to from the harbour about 5 minutes maximum!

From what looked like a lovely hotel was seriously the opposite. From the pictures it looked lovelupy however was the complete opposite. With a dirty beach plus a building site next door. Was a mess. Paid extra for the breakfast buffet on the beach which turned out to be egg on warm bread. For the price absolutely disgusting. Shower was salt water too

Friendly staff, clean & comfortable room.
We had a lovely stay at Ko Phi Phi beach front resort. The staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. They cleaned the room daily to a high standard. The room was basic, but well furnished, including a fridge and easy to work safe. The views are incredibly good. Only downside is the noise from the bars across the bay, if you are a light sleeper or not going out to join in, then I would be cautious about staying here! The beach was lovely and quite during the day, a 15min walk from the central village, but far enough away to feel secluded and calm.

Terrible location and bad condition
There are several problems with the hotels: 1. there are several bars across the narrow bay that play loud music until 3am in the morning. Sitting inside the hotel room we can clearly hear the mix of loud music. The hotel provides no infrastructure to help reduce the noise problem, and no warning about the problem before booking or checking in. 2. no wifi 3. the restroom smells stinky. Overall, it was a terrible stay. The only plus side is that the staffs at the hotel are pretty friendly. We did not want to blame them. The management should seriously deal with the noise problem.

立地やホスピタリティー、全てに於いて素晴らしかったがただ一点残念な点が…!まず迎えは2回もメールしたのに返信含め来ませんでした。ただ埠頭から10分しない距離です。道も海沿いを歩き病院を右折するだけであとは道なり。ただ砂混じりの道、最後は砂浜。かなり疲れます。送りはリヤカーで。無料のフェリーなんてありません。

Hotelli merinäköalalla
Hotellin henkilökunta oli tosi mahtavaa, mutta ei vain kovin hyvin englantia puhunut. Onneksi ranta baarin puolella puhuttiin liiankin hyvää englantia. Huone merinäköalalla oli loistava, sekä sänky hyvä. Huone aika basic mutta ajoi kyllä asiansa. Kannattaa vuokrata hotellilta halvalla kanootti ja meloa viereiselle money Island saarelle, jossa pääsee ihan livenä kuvailemaan apinoita ja muutenkin hieno mesta. Satamasta oli laukkujen kuljetus hotellille, samoin henkilökunnta myös kantoi edes-takaisin laukut huoneesta, sillä hissiä ei ole. Phi phillä ei myöskää ole autoja, eikä minkäänlaista liikennettä, joka oli todella positiivista thaimaan muiden kohteiden melujen jälkeen. Jos oot tosi herkkäuninen älä ota tätä hotellia, rannan äänet öisin kuuluvat todella selkeästi.

Wanzenbude, aber nette Besitzer
Also das Hotel ist eine Kathastrophe und wir haben für eine Nacht also pro Zimmer 30 Euro bezahlt inkl Frühstück ! Das ist zwar nicht viel Geld im ersten Moment, aber wer Thailand kennt, weiß, dass man für weniger Geld besser wohnen kann ! Es ist einigermaßen sauber und die Besitzer sind wirklich sehr nett und man wird mit Namensschild von der Fähre abgeholt, was ein echt guter Service ist ! Im Zimmer befindet sich auch eine Klimaanlage ! Pünktlich um 2 Uhr nachts hört dann die Party auf und man kann schlafen ! Allerdings sehen die Photos besser aus, als es ist, darum waren wir wohl einfach enttäuscht und sind nach einer Nacht wieder abgereist !

Ungenügendes Preis Leistungs-Verhältnis
Es handelte sich um eine fehlerhafte Buchung aufGrund eibes Systemfehlers seitens Expedia. Nachdem wir das vor Ort festgestellt hatten, haben wir uns umgehend für einen Umzug entschieden da eine Übernachtung in diesem hotel zu diesem Preis für uns inakzeptabel war. Die nacht kostete 65 eur. Es gab kein Süßwasser in der Dusche und es musste im Bedarfsfall Trinkwasser aus Plastikflaschen manuell eingefüllt werden. Das Hotel war unsauber und in einem desolaten Zustand. Das Personal war hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Für 15-20 Eur pro Nacht wäre es ok; aber nicht für 65 eur! Wir sind umgehend umgezogen und haben für 5 eur mehr in einem tollen hotel mit pool, hervorragendem Frühstücksbuffet und Süßwasser ;-) gewohnt. Nachdem wir heute aus unserm Urlaub zurückkehren hoffe ich dass wir von expedia die Auslagen erstattet bekommen. ... Das beschriebene Hotel können wir nicht empfehlen!

景观不错,但客房环境和噪音让人受不了
入住时被惊呆了,房间里面简陋得不能再简陋了,洗漱用品都没有,马桶上还有血迹。被子是简单的用俩床单夹在一起,不小心里面成黑色的被子就会漏出来,根本不敢盖,最后用老婆带的一次性被套凑活睡了。到晚上海湾里面酒吧的声音简直震耳欲聋啊,到凌晨两点才停下来。糟糕的住宿,根本不值这个价。

A fuir : premiere fois que je dois "descendre" un Hotel : literie = une planche.proprete = douteuse. Pas d eau dans le lavabo. Un petit déjeuner très limite. Aucun mobilier dans la chambre. Pas de chaise, armoire, coffre fort... Et le summum : situé en face des boîtes de nuit dans baie : vous ne pourrez pas les ignorer ... Nous avions paye 4 nuits, nous sommes partis au bout d une nuit pour plus cher mais infiniment mieux (arabuyi resort). Ne peut convenir que pour des jeunes fêtards, et pour moins de 30 euros et encore...

Этот отель, пожалуй, больше подходит для молодежи, к-рая приезжает на Пи-Пи потусоваться на ночь, и к-рая не имеет особых притязаний к удобствам. Возможны проблемы с подачей воды, работой кондиционеров. Еще меня смутили искусственные цветы на кровати как украшение номера, согласитесь, лучше бы их вообще не было) Завтрак был простенький, яичница, кофе, тосты. Рядом была стройка и гора строительного мусора. Останавливались в данном отеле 06-07 апреля 2014г.
