The hotel is situated just off Ao Nang’s Main Street. It’s less than 10 minutes to the beach and a couple of minutes to hundreds of bars, restaurants and tour companies, though we had no noise from bars etc as it’s set back from the road, the staff were friendly and the girl on reception spoke good English. The room was a good size, clean, with a/c, fan, fridge and kettle. The price was fair at around $20. The reason for a rating of 3 was the layout of the hotel and the one facing it. All rooms have a balcony which is nice, though the neighbouring room is right next to you. We were on the 1st floor which would be a problem for families with young children as there was an open gap at the edge of the balcony that a young child could fall through. Our room faced the corridor of the hotel opposite which had windows facing our balcony and was very close ie 10 metres away. This was only a problem on the 2nd night of our stay when some local school groups checked in and the 2 westerners sat on the balcony became a source of fascination for the teenagers. It did feel a bit like being a zoo animal as they stopped to stare at us. It was clearly a first trip away and they were very excited, running along the corridors shouting and screaming. They only stayed for 1 night and the other 2 were peaceful, but it did highlight the somewhat strange layout of the two hotels. In summary, it’s clean, well run, good price and no noise from the rowdy nightlife of Ao Nang but don’t expect a private balcony!
