Check in must be done at nearby moms restaurant but notification sent day of reservation so must monitor your msgs day-of. Note if you head all the way to room (walk + stairs to climb), will be wasted effort as restaurant for checking in is before the accommodation. Nice staff at hostel advised me and let me leave bags at bottom of hill to go check in first (assuming this is common occurrence). No big issue, just be aware as will likely have had some travels prior to arriving.

Comfy, loads of space and awesome balcony. Shared space with hostels so privacy with option to engage with other backpackers. Quiet because up hill. Good AC, towels, fridge, shelving/hanging/vanity mirror set up. I loved walking up the stairs forward of cold showers (but also good hot water) but be aware if heavy bags or no cardio, it’s a challenge. Nearby loads of restaurants and shops.

It was a bit out the way and no one helps you with luggage up steep stairs

Good price

The location of the place! Was hard to find where it was, maybe the staff need to message and say where they should be checking in. Apperently you check in at a restaurant that not even by the hotel. The hotel is by Blanco hideout.

Spacious room, pool was nice

There were a lot of ants, the shower was slow to drain which left a lot of sand in the bathroom if you were at the beach.

Very spacious and comfortable. Easy to get everywhere from there. The staff were nice.

The room was really big and very comfortable and great air con.

There was no flat screen TV, as advertised in room details. However, I negotiated an additional night at a discount so that was ok.

Spacious room with great views. Fridge, kettle and pool. There's also a bath, which is fabulous for removing all the red soil after the lagoon climb. They provide a room clean and new water every day, which is unusual at this budget price. Ignore other reviews about the steps - they're fine. I'm 64 yrs old and easily managed them 4-5 times a day. Also, I can't understand the complaints about the roosters crowing. You're in rural Thailand, people. The onsite staff, especially the cleaner-security-maintenance guy, were lovely but the Mom's Kitchen (where you check in) staff were a bit surly.

We stay 3 night they didn’t gave them a clean cup for the 3rd morning. I washed it

Nice swimming pool. Room are a bit old but quite ok. And better to be a good walker to go there. There are many stairs to get up there

Stayed in April 2024

There were some noisy roosters and lizards through the night.

We loved the shared facilities with the hostel. The room was very large, clean and had AC! The staff was very friendly and check-in was easy.

The Check in was kinda strange. You have to Check in at a Restaurant called Mom Kitchen. After that you can climb up all those stairs with your luggage to the Hotel. This isn't actually a problem for me but it would be nice to know such things in advance but they didn't give me any information about it.

It was okay, it is a cheaper Option to sleep in Railey beach in comparision to a Resort. The room was OK.

Stayed in March 2024

The stairs on the walk up are very inconvenient (and not suitable for anyone with even minor mobility issues), there were about 15 cockerels and chickens that started being loud at 4:30am every morning (and the doors are not soundproof) and the bathroom was very dingy and the water didn’t drain properly leaving sand everywhere.

Comfy bed, lots of space in the room, aircon was fixed at a good temperature with a fan to help too, staff very friendly. Good value for money with many many overpriced places in Railay! Such a small place location doesn’t really matter as everywhere is a 15 minute walk.

Stayed in March 2024

No reception -- you check in at a restaurant that's often closed -- so if you have a problem it can be hard to find someone. My AC was having problems, entering some kind of "F0" error mode. Eventually solved by turning the temperature up, but I think the AC needs to be maintenanced.

Friendly cleaner guy, good views from up on the hill, big room with porch.

It was very noisy at night and not at all from the party/bar. I was woken up by noises coming from outside and under the house. Also, the roosters living in the garden started crowing loudly at 4 AM. The bathroom and air conditioning definitely needs renovation.

The staff was very nice and helpful. Beautiful view from the top is fully worth climbing the stairs. The room was spacious with a large bed and balcony.

The decor is very dated but I knew this when booking. There’s a lot of stairs to climb and it’s out the way of the main strip so there’s lots of walking etc but we didn’t mind this at all.

The pool is good which is shared with blanco hostel. The air con was good and you see lots of monkeys from the balcony.

It's far from the pier if you goes from ao nang Beach to raily. Need to cross the island

Very nice room and good clean, as well the stuff very funny

Nice pool, bungalow decent size. 100 steps are ok for average person to climb.

Stayed in February 2024

The walls are a bit thin so you can clearly hear your neighbors and the location is almost the farthest it could be from the Railay West (still walkable).

It’s an interesting place to stay. Something like living in a hostel with private rooms in a good way. The meeting points for everyone are the pool and the bar where you can hang out. And every night there is a different scheduled event that is happening. Thankfully, the party lasts till a reasonable hour so you can get a rest if you plan to go rock climbing early in the morning.

The 124 steps to get up there and the Mangrove Swamp the East side of Railay, the West side which was a 10 minute walk was a different World, beautiful Beaches and clear water.

Staff and facilities were very good.

Stayed in January 2024

Lots of backpackers playing music late into the night nearby something to be aware of and a significant stair climb with luggage should be noted but we were fit enough for it

Beautiful view. Nice garden and pool. Clean and neat. Easy check-in and good location.

Awesome price vs amount of space you get

Wasn’t clean enough, the fridge was dirty, not sure if they change the bed duvet, didn’t feel dirty tho. We booked one night. Really nice view, there’s a swimming pool… first you have to go to mums kitchen to check yourself in, pay there for your reservation. We didn’t like the location at all, the beach where is located is very dirty and smelly, you have to go up a long stair, we travel with 5 kg backpack so wasn’t a problem. The installations are good, more like a backpacker place as they share the location with a hostel, mostly brits in their 20s, that’s wasn’t a problem for us as it didn’t seem like a party place, although there’s a bar downstairs that was playing music till late, but we couldnt hear the music from our room. I’ve stayed in better places in Thailand for €33. The staff was super friendly and kind.

The view and the staff

Loved the pool and the fact it’s shared with blanco hostel, but still have our own space as a couple. About a 10/15 min walk to the beach/shops/restaurants. Would stay again :)

Stayed in January 2024

be aware that Railay has a lot of mosquitoes -- not the property's fault, but I got many bug bites inside and outside of my room. Also, the monkeys in the morning are sometimes loud on the roof.

great location with beautiful overlook of the water. The pool is shared with a nearby hostel, so the clientele is mostly young backpackers. That said, I didn't find it too loud and found the staff to be extremely helpful/friendly. The stairs to get to the hotel are a lot, but you get used to them and you can't beat being in Railay at this price.

Stayed in December 2023

Have to climb lots of steps to get there which could be a problem if you're already tired or in a rush.

Great facilities, clean and comfortable bed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Quiet location with a view.

Stayed in January 2024

There was a couple of days where we were left without towels and toilet paper. I’m not sure whether staff were off due to the new year however we weren’t informed about this.

I like how it was high up and how spacious the rooms was the staff were also helpful and took our bags up to our room for us
