Nice hotel, would have been 5 stars but we had food poisoning from the restaurant.
We were very happy with the hotel, friendly and accommodating staff, large rooms, large comfy bed, balcony with a nice view, rooms were clean, check in and check out was quick and easy, also has a nice pool and decoration.
The hotel is literally a 3 min walk to the boat port to get a long tail to Railay Beach, you can also get a bus to anywhere from outside the hotel, so transportation wise it was great.
It is a quiet area, which really worked for us but be warned if you want to go out for drinks etc you will need to get a bus to Ao Nang or Krabi Town.
On our last full day at the hotel we only ate at the hotel (we are one vegan and one vegetarian) so I have never had food poisoning. We ordered Rice in Pineapple and egg fried rice, within approximately 4 hours we both had chronic food poisoning, absolutely horrific lasted a day, made checkout awful. We were both disappointed as we had had a good stay here but unfortunately this was certainly down to the food at the restaurant in Thip residence (it must have been the rice). Because of this we will not recommend to friends and obviously will not return, my suggestion is if you need somewhere to stay in that area then stay at Thip, but do not eat in the restaurant (very limited options for veges too).
