2 Star Motel at Best / Photos Deceiving
First off I want to say that on many other trips this hotel / room would have been sufficient but on this trip and at this price I didn't find these rooms acceptable. From the photos of the property we feel that the photographer did a great job but it does not represent it well. To be fair if you are in the area to dive and just need a place to crash this will do but this is at best a 2 motel and out does look like there are other options. The owners on the other hand I would like to say were so nice and pleasant. We had no complaints about them or their service. Just that this property was not what we were looking for at this point in our trip.

Lovely staff and Fine Room!
I wanted a simple room for exploring another area of Krabi and this was perfect. I elected to have a room with a fan, because I prefer natural air even on the warmer side, but they do offer both! This property is clearly well cared for. The staff went above and beyond to help me. I arrived hobbled by an injury from earlier in my trip and they were so gracious to me! I highly recommend Aloha Lanta and it’s kind and thorough staff!

Good hotel, great staff
Our first impression of Saladan Ko Lanta was that it was a lot more touristy than we expected, but we adjusted pretty quickly. The Aloha Lanta is a short (5-10 minutes depending on our motivation) walk to the ferry dock. We mistakenly did not include air conditioning when we booked but, after the first night, adjusted pretty well with a room fan. There is a beach of sorts 30 meters from the hotel, but there is a huge sand bar that limits swimming to high tide or the channel where power boats go in and out of the docks. Getting to and from the hotel took us past dozens of seafood restaurants and the main road (#4245, never found a name for it) has more restaurants and street cafes, our preferred places to find real Thai food (rather than DDTT, dumb-downed tourist Thai meals). There is the Lanta Mart for food and drinks (large Chang beer for 57 Baht compared to 100-130 Baht in a restaurant), lots of dive shops, a 7-11, Lanta Massage (10% off with card from hotel). The best thing about the hotel was Peter, the host who opened the hotel at 7-7:30 a.m. and closed it at 9 p.m. He was friendly, willing to talk with us (and interested in us), quickly worked to fix a noisy fan, and just an all around great person. When I came down with a 36-hour gastroenteritis illness, he helped my wife cancel our kayaking tour and get a half-day tour for her, provided me with a case of water, and offered to get me electrolyte powder from pharmacy. Can't say enough good things about him.

Wish we stayed longer
We stayed here over New Year for 4 nights and wish we had stayed longer! The hotel staff who were also the owners were great and nothing was too much trouble. We booked a family room and got 2 rooms adjoining. The view from our balcony was really fantastic. For this time of year it was also very well priced and better than our previous accommodation 5km further on. Its also in a good position close to the ferry, lots of restaurants nearby. As for beaches there are lots to chose from but we liked Long Beach which was a short tuk tuk ride. If we ever return to this part of Thailand we will be staying here!

Too expensive, not at the beach.
No beach. Some rooms overlooked the water but the nearest actual beach was 2.5km away. Paid quite a lot more than other people paid given their reviews online. More than double actually. No refunds or changes to my booking past a certain point. Neighborhood was safe but filthy/unsightly. Closeby was the touristy part of the Saladan area with many restaurants and shops. The room was adequate with a mini fridge but no minibar. 2 small bottles of water/day for free. Old TV, small but lots of channels. No side table or closet for luggage. No lamp for reading only bright ceiling lights with switch far from bed. Owners were lovely and helpful. If I got the same rate as the guests who posted before, I wouldn't expect more from this hotel. I could have done better with my money in Koh Lanta.

Amazing location & employees, outdated facilities
The location is right by the pier that the boats come in to Koh Lanta. We got a room with an ocean view and it was stunning! The young man who was the only employee we interacted with was very nice and helpful (we ended up also renting a motorbike for the day from him for 200 baht). The hotel is pretty old and doesn't have too much charm, but the price is right, there's AC, beds were fine. All in all I would recommend!

Disappointing, Not as described, Looked different
The property was under renovation/construction. The bathroom downstairs did not work. There was no hot water, which was not mentioned. The property is a waterfront facility but you can't swim at the so-called beach. Rocks are everywhere plus it is very close to the pier, so oily spots from the boats are floating on top flight of the water. The room was not clean, wet, with bugs and other insects, facing the construction site instead of promised garden view. The hotel itself and the beach look differently compare to what they looked on the pictures at hotels.com. The owner forced me to check in although I was very disappointed and did not wish to stay. I was trying to cancel the reservation and get the refund. They did not let me do so. However, I could jot stay their and had to move to a different hotel down the Cost line and pay extra money. The pay for Aloha has not been refunded.

Incredible staff, mediocre hotel
We stayed 2 nights in this hotel. It's run by a father and son duo. We dealt primarily with the sun and he was incredibly helpful. In some other reviews, it says that the hotel is close to the beach. This is misleading. While there just a tiny tiny beach close to this hotel, it's not really one you would want to spend your time at. The real beaches (that are 1.5miles+ long) are closer to the middle of the island. Although clean, the hotel is quite dated. The TV, for example, is the first non flat screen TV I've seen in many years. If you don't plan on using it, then this is no big deal. The bed is rock hard and the pillows are quite thick. Both myself and my partner woke up in considerable neck and back pain after our first night. We informed the owner and he added some quilts underneath the sheets. While we very much appreciated his kindness and efforts to improve the condition, it only helped a little bit. At the end of the day, this hotel is far from the beach, we didn't have a view of the water, it's dated and the bed is uncomfortable. The staff are very very nice and helpful and seem like great people. But for a vacation, that simply isn't enough.

Wonderful place to stay, every thing is close by restaurants, shopping, the Walking Street has numerous local food vendors each night and the food is fabulous. The hotel staff is great, Peter arranged day trips, scooter rentals all at discounted prices for us.
Thank you very much Mr. Rich? We try to do our best to make you to have a very nice vacation here. And we're glad that you enjoy to stay in this area. About the trips and scooter rental. We not really want to make money from that.(We do get some money. Don't worry) We only do that to service our guests. You guys are very nice and kind to us a lot.

Good hotel close to Pier/Beach
Good hotel close to Ferry pier. Good: Great and helpful host Location is near north of island, beside a beach. Not so good: Can hear music coming from vicinity at night, I think its a club. The area close to the hotel is very dark, the streets are empty at night. Beach beside hotel not very popular, the nice beaches are in the middle and bottom of the island.
Response from Peter on 1 Apr 2017
We are sorry about the music. Actually it's from the festival not a club nearby. I accept the beach here is not the best of the island. But this area is famous about walking street, night market , a lot of street food. That many people like to ride a scooter to around the island on the day time. But if someone focus on the best beach , not mind so much about things to do in the evening to the night. I would recommend to have a hotel at the end of the island.

Enkelt, rent, trevligt värdpar
Enkelt mindre o tyst hotell i slutet av gatan. Vi bodde bara en natt innan vi åkte vidare. Billigt o enkelt, värdparet var väldiga, trevliga o tillmötesgående. De bokade vår transport till båten, bilen kom inte i tid o de ringde flera gånger för att försäkra att vi inte skulle missa båten. Allt gick bra o vi var flera som kom sent till båten pga sena transporter, bokar man ihop med Tiger Line så lämnar inte båten även om bilen är sen. Inget hotell att bo länge på men helt ok för en eller ett par nätter om man nöjer sig med det enkla. Vi bokade utan frukost, så vet inget om maten.

Sauberes Hotel mit tollem Personal
Hotel ist sehr einfach aber praktisch eingerichtet. Absolut entsprechend dem Preis. Das ganze Hotel ist sehr sauber, der Boden im Lobby wird ständig abgewischt. Personal ist höchstens bemüht und kompetent, auf einem 4* Niveau. Thema Strand - Hotel liegt tatsächlich 300m von einem Strand, man muss nur durch den Garten gehen. Auf Grund den großen Unterschieden zwischen Ebbe&Flow ist der Strand manchmal groß, manchmal klein. Es ist sicher kein besonders hübscher Strand, aber bei low Tide kann man sehr weit durch mehr spazieren und das fanden wir voll spannend. Im Vergleich mit 5 anderen Unterkünften, die wir während unseres Urlaubes in Thailand hatten, fanden wir diesen am saubersten. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder. Einziges Minus waren die Tücher, wir haben nur einen Badetuch pro Person bekommen, keine kleinere für Hände, wir haben aber auch nicht nachgefragt, ob die Möglichkeit besteht.
