    Nothing

    No need to add photos. The hotel is as described. Well-situated, within short walking distance of the beach, night market, shops, restaurants, bars, and main road. Rooms are well appointed, quiet, with a cool, contemporary surf vibe. The hotel has both a standard gym and boxing room (e.g. for those training Muay Thai). Breakfast is excellent. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

    - The hotel feels old and worn - Housekeeping issues: cleaning was delayed and not thorough - Minor renovation work during the stay - Very small gym - Breakfast options were limited

    - Stylish rooms and trendy design - Location is nice

    The halls weren’t so clean, there’s a building under construction in front of the pool. Even though we didn’t have issues while sleeping or anything like that, the view from the pool wasn’t as nice.

    Had a gym and a pool, which we used every day during our stay

    Old conditioner was a little bit noisy.

    Excellent location - not far from the Kata beach and near the Seafood market, so you can have dinner in that perfect place daily. Clean room, highly polite and friendly stuff, good swimming pool. Children friendly place. Perfect breakfast. Highly recommend.

    The pool didn't seem very clean, the gym is tiny and with not very good air conditioning.

    The location of the hotel is it's biggest asset, the facilities are nice but a little old. The room was nice and big, with spacious bathroom, but a little dark.

    The hotel is a good 10min walk from the beach, which on a boiling hot day can feel long.

    The room was really well designed. Great bed, AC and wifi. Pool was lovely though no drinks or snacks available Which is something missing when you’re lounging there for a while. Breakfast room a buffet are great. Lovely selection. Though not in the way of dairy free options.

    I stayed in a room were the aircon was uncontrolled and way too loud. There was a smashed bug against the wall next to the coffee corner from the previous guest. Eventually got another room after two days and multiple complains.

    Staff was very friendly. Great location. Huge, comfortable bed. Nice pool. Good gym.

    From all rooms with a pool view you can see the shell of a building that borders the hotel. There was no work being done on the construction site during my stay. It can get loud when they are working.... I was in the hotel last year already and i didn't see any change of the building which is under construction.... Maybe it's a ruin and will never be finished, I wouldn't be surprised

    Comfortable Bed / clean and modern furnished room / friendly Hotel staff / good working aircondition / breakfast is ok for the price ,small buffet with a choice of a bit of all ( western + thaifood ) / arround the hotel there are some restaurants like massage salons / shops / money exchange / Hotel room with pool view was nice and quiet

    • Leisure trip

    Too many Russians! Rude, push past you, don't smile or hold doors. Loads in the hotel and local area - didn't see any in Krabi so must just be that part Phuket? The water of the pool wasn't clear and was murky. depending on which room you were in, depended on whether your tea and coffee were replenished each day! we were two families over 4 rooms staying and it was hit and miss depending on location in the hotel.

    The rooms were lovely and beds were huge! Location was excellent - so close to the night markets - we loved it there. Kids loved it there too. Beach was little walk away but was ok. Shops and stalls had good deals (better than in Bangkok which was frustrating as we held off some shopping thinking we'd get better deals in BK but that wasn't the case!)

    The pool water was murky. Kids said with goggles it looked like algae all over the bottom! Also my son was sick one night on the bathroom floor. My husband went to reception for a cleaner and was handed and mop and bucket and some (1 ply) toilet roll!!

    Rooms were lovely and spacious and a huge bed. Location is right next to the night markets which we all loved and short walk to the beach. We were a family with friends also. We had a mix of rooms pool access and non pool access.

    The wifi was awful. It did not work 95% of the time. It kept disconnecting and you had to reconnect. Even after reconnecting it will still disconnect again. It was very disappointing and frustrating as when you’re paying for a higher end accommodation and have no wifi is money wasted.

    Provides two water bottles for each day of stay. Provides beach mat & tote for the beach. Love the tub and the big shower.

    The size of the room may not be suitable for guests with multiple large suitcases. The lighting was ok, perhaps increasing the light output near the desk or wardrobe would be helpful for guests. The bathtub has some issues with heating the water.

    The bed was comfortable. The hotel boasts a convenient and well-maintained carpark. The staffs were helpful.

    The hotel is full of Russians, some uncivilized, for example they spend the night partying at the pool, after closing hours, making it hard to sleep with all the noise.
