The staff was incredible, friendly and helpful. The decorations looked charming. Location is perfect, all that you may need is just 5 minutes walk. The owner gave us a TM-30 even though it was not required to provide a printed copy, so it was a big favor from hin. And they also kept some parcels at reception, we appreciated that very much. They also have some breakfast and a small cafe but we didn’t try.

That fact that you may use the fridge only from 8 to 21 is a bit dissatisfying, sometimes we wanted to leave the food overnight but the reception was closed even at 19:30. It was a small issue for us. The second thing was that we didn’t notice that we booked a room with no AC. It was hard to endure the night.

The staff were totally exceptional. I arrived not feeling well and was sick for a couple of days. They always checked in with me. Gave me a hot ginger drink freely to help. Extended my stay each time I asked with genuine care and hospitality. Helped carry my suitcase upstairs and generally are naturally beautiful humans. Beds and pillows super comfortable.

Not the fault of the Chanchalay however Krabi town lost water supply sometime on Saturday morning early so woke up to no water in my room. It was still not sorted as at Sunday 930am . The team at Chanchalay did their best in a big problem situation. Well done.

This was such a treat. Sadly we only stayed one night as we were passing through Krabi Town but so glad we chose to stay here. The room was very stylish, comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I finished my book on the way to the hotel and exchanged it on the book swap shelf. A perfect respite for any traveller in need of some comfort and style. The night market nearby was excellent and sprawling. The cheapest eats so far in Thailand and the market is busy with local people catching up with friends and family. It made for some very wholesome ambling.

I had one of the rooms downstairs, which are almost bungalows, with a little terrace in front of your door with chairs (I enjoyed it quite a lot at night). I was very pleased with the room which has great aesthetics, just like the bathroom (it is opened on the outside - no roof - so it feels fresh and nice when having a shower). I had to work during my stay and the room was perfect for that too. It almost felt like going back home at night, really. Plus, the staff is really, really nice. Contact was smooth and so pleasant. Nothing to say about the location - just perfect! I enjoyed it so much that I thought about staying longer or going back. A very peaceful moment.

Absolutely beautiful room, with open air bathroom and a lovely view of the courtyard from the little porch. A tv with 2 English channels (cna news and V music) was an added bonus. Great location, only a minute or so from the pier and bus station, and with plenty of 7/11s and restaurants.

The staff were very friendly but they gave bad transport advice. 1. They told me I should pay 350 baht for a taxi from the airport to Chanchalay, but there's a really good 100 baht shuttle service. 2. They said the long boat to Railay leaves at 9.30 and 11.30. Not true - it leaves when there are 8 passengers.

The property is in a great location, a short walk from the night market. It had my favourite blue and white colors. Its a good value for the money, and the owner helped me to arrange a taxi to take me for my flight.

I think the place has more potential if it had a more deeper cleaning – my downstairs room had dusty windows and hair in the bathroom when I arrived. There wasn't much light because it was downstairs and I needed privacy. Maybe other rooms would have been more suitable for me but they were already taken. You can also hear everything from the rooms above and next to you – so it is a good choice for 1–2 nights if you are on a lower budget.

Great location, interesting design, friendly and helpful staff. Clean room. Quiet and comfortable. We had a great view from the window. And how wonderful it was to sit on the balcony in the evening and listen to the quiet sounds of music and live singing from the cafe located nearby. Thank you very much!

If there was a small refrigerator and a kettle in the rooms, it would be great!

Wonderful guest house. I stayed here 20 years ago and loved it then, so was pleased to come back and find it as charming as it was before. It’s basic, clean, centrally located for the night market and river, they offer breakfast, have good wifi and is remarkable value for money. I stayed in one of the en-suite rooms with a small patio area outside - they also offer hostel rooms with shared bathroom.

Beautiful, relaxed hostel, just a 5 minute walk from the main area in Krabi. We stayed in the air-conditioned room with bunkbeds with 2 adults, 3 children (2 small children shared a bed). It was spotlessly clean, and the bedding smelt lovely. The vibe of the hostel is very zen, staff were lovely, and breakfast was good. The location was perfect as it was just off the main harbour front but far enough away from the loud traffic. We would definitely return here again.

Amazing and helpful staff, amazing private room with bathroom. Fan is just as effective as air conditioning. It’s a bit fan hanging from the ceiling, which provides efficient cooling of the whole room. Lovely room aesthetic, cute colours etc. Really cool atmosphere, quiet and relaxing in the evenings. Highly recommend.

Wi-Fi could be a bit annoying. It automatically logs you out, and sometimes it’s annoying to try and log back in as it takes a few tries for it to work properly. Besides that, nothing.
