Thip Residence, Ao Nammoa
Further away from Ao Nang than I thought however they do run a free shuttle bus there and back so extra points for that. The room had recently been refurbished, big and spacious. Balcony was on main road which can be quite noisy, but gets the sun all day. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Perfect for 1 night prior to Railay
Used this hotel as a night stay prior to Railay Beach. We arrived at night during a rain/ lightning storm that had taken out the hotels electricity. We were offered 1 small camping light and shown to our room. It’s was pitch black and very hot obviously. The electricity did return after 1.5 hour. AC worked great. Ao Nam Mao Pier is across the road. Very walkable with luggage & a mom with limited mobility. The attached restaurant had yummy food, we had a clear noodle soup in a clear broth that was very flavorful

Value, spacious, older hotel with gardens & pool.
An older hotel with very spacious rooms (all with balconies), but well maintained so very clean and comfortable. Pleasant staff, popular restaurant with Thai and Western menus and well located almost opposite the pier serving Railay Beach. A huge plus is the quiet garden and swimming pool area to the rear. Another is the selection of little local restaurants serving cheap Thai food. It is, however, on a busy road so we preferred a rear room overlooking the gardens. Overall very good value.

Good bargain
Close to long tails going to Railay. Just around the corner from a very good restaurant “Red Chili”. Busy street no good views of water, the garden would be nicer, maybe. Good pool, hardly used, I did and enjoyed it. Otherwise a comfortable faded rose but great value.

Quiet but great location
Our overall trip was really good and the whole family enjoyed their stay. The hotel was located about a 15 minute taxi ride away from the main centre, but that wasn't an issue as it was quiet. The pool was very clean, however the loungers were of a poor condition and needed to be upgraded. Free wifi was available in all areas of the hotel, so that was great for the children. The staff were very friendly and organised all our transportation needs and were always happy to help to ensure all our needs were met.

Close to pier to Railey beach long boats, a short Tuk Tuk ride to Ao Nang beach. The Hotel offers basic services, no elevator, the towels and bed sheets need replacements. Pool was nice, and front desk very helpful.

Thought the hotel was located near a nice beach. Lots of insects and animals that will get into your room. There is no room service. But for the price I paid it was acceptable.

Super Location
The hotel is right across from the pier so really handy for boat trips. Front facing rooms have a sea view. The common areas are nicely maintained but avoid room numbers ending in 01 to 06 as they are in the old section of the building and if ours is anything to by, are in need of an overdue upgrade. However, the room was comfortable and large with a nice balcony facing the sea.There are lots of great local places within a few minutes stroll to eat and drink with very authentic food. If you want fast food chains, stick to Ao Nang!

Thip residence feels like home
Wiith exception of a few small things that can be improved i enjoyed my stay at the Thip Residence ... can book a scooter or tours of the area with the front desk... it is a little ways from ao nang area but is ideal for doing tours to orher islands as they depart from a pier only a 4 minute walk away ... everything in krabi was within reach from so if you dont need.to be in the heart of.the action this is a great option. And to not forget that you wont get a bad meal at their restaraunt either..

Nice homely hotel
As we are new to Thailand it was so helpful to have a hotel that offered all the tours, taxis and moped hire right from the reception. The pool was so lovely and we found not many people used it in the day so we got it all to ourselves. Hiring a moped is just 250 baht a day with no deposits which is definetly needed if you want to get into ao nang. But obviously you can get a taxi. The resturant is also yummy! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Excellence in service
We had a great time at this hotel and will consider going back. The staff were great and most helpful. The room was comfortable and our balcony view was a treat looking into the back ful of trees and plants with the swimming pool beckoning us. We found it very relaxing however if you want to be close to the action this may not be your choice. The location is a bit out of the way although close to a pier where long tail boats can take you wherever you want.

A Very Cozy Lovely Hotel
I stayed for eight nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I felt at home. My room was very specious, with a nice balcony, and great mountain view. The breakfast was generous portion, very delicious, and rich in fruits. The front desk staff was very efficient in helping me with boat tour reservations. The hotel has a cute tropical garden, where you would love to spend some relaxing time. The free WiFi was extremely super-fast, and very reliable. I really enjoyed staying at this cute lovely hotel. I will stay at the same hotel on my next trip. Highly recommended place to stay and eat, particularly for families.

Nice hotel, would have been 5 stars but...
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).

Bad reception - remote location
No reason to book this unless there are absolutely no availability throughout Krabi! Only pros is room is good and it stops there!! Biggest con is the bad receptionist, you'll (if you still go ahead and book) find that she can be really mean in her own way. I did not enjoy my stay here, point blank. This place is in the middle of nowhere and it's not like it's a peaceful haven either since it's right by the road. Oh, the balcony that comes with the room is nice but that is if you can put up with quite a bunch of lizards. I never opened after the first time since it seemed like they were ready to get into the room anytime. Last and not the least, your shower may stop anytime!!! At your own risk!!!!

Wanted quiet after BKK
Arrived pretty early (about 6.30am) after notifying them id be a late arrival. Did NOT expect to be able to check in buuuut, they had a quick look and by 7am i was in my room. Sea view (altho at a slight distance) as requested and quiet room at the end of the building. A very different experience from BKK but thats what i was after. The village was relatively small, but all amenities within walking distance and the Au Nam Mau ferry was 3 minutes over the road to get to pretty much most islands. Was here to wind down for a few days, ended up being here 9. Was very peaceful

Awful hotel and awful area
OK so we arrived after dark but considering we were one of the few guests staying in the Hotel our room was simply awful, soulless with only neon strip lighting. Safe didn't work, view was of the car park and bathroom was something from the 70's... Even required your used bog paper to be put in a bucket besides the toilet! When we went out for dinner there was NOTHING! It was a road and the centre of life revolved around the 7/11. Stay in Aosang which is picturesque and has life!

Nice quiet hotel great staff
Staff was polite and friendly on check in, helpful with booking the next leg of our trip. Food was good, what you expect from hotel restaurants. A few small shops/carts to eat at close by. 2 minute walk from a 24 hour Family Mart. Hotel is in a primarily Muslim town outside Au Nang. There is a Mosque close by, many isfnot most of the restaurants do not serve alcohol (and serve Halal food) and you can hear the call to prayer on the loudspeaker atrached to a lightpost throughout the small area multiple times a day. I don't mean this as a positive or negative, just observation for those who it might be useful for. You will hear the Call to Prayer froom the hotel room in the early morning but not loud enough to wake you. Pool area is nice and beach mats/ssnorkel rental is a nice touch. It is a ways from Au Nang beach, outside walking distance. 30 baht to get to and from the beach/town during the day by tuktuk that goes by every 10 minutes, but you will pay at least 200 baht to get back after 6.

Very pleasant stay
We chose Thip Hotel for a two-day stay en route to Phiphi and were really pleased we did. The staff were great and very welcoming. The Manager spoke good English and was happy to help us arrange a taxi to Krabi Pier. The food in the restaurant was delicious and service good. The pool area is pretty and very quiet to chill out in after a long flight. We used Thip again on the way back from Phiphi for one night en route to Krabi Airport and home. Again, a nice welcome, good meal and very comfortable room. Would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff
This hotel is a little off the beaten path, it is about 5 minutes from Ao Nang beach which is easy to get to by local bus for 30 baht. It is a quiet little hotel with amazing staff that try their best to meet your every need. I was a single traveler and they helped me with anything I needed, even a bottle opener! The restaurant is a little expensive but the presentation of the food is fantastic and the beer was ice cold! The beach that the hotel is actually located on isn't the kind of beach you would like to swim at but it is lovely to walk on and check out the sea shell fossils. It is quiet at night which makes for an excellent place to relax after busy days of touring around Krabi. The pool is deep and has a lovely garden around it giving a more private feel. I would definitely stay here again! And don't forget to get a Thai massage after traveling alll day, it really sets the mood for a great holiday!

Do not bother with this hotel
This hotel is way out, and if your only objective is to lounge around the tiny 10-metre pool, and pay for Western standard price food when you could get cheaper, more authentic Thai food, in Ao Nang, this is the place for you. No lift, not much service given. Also, When you choose two beds on this website, it means twin beds to them, not the one double and one single that I paid extra for. Really fed up with the deliberate ignoring of issues brought up. Ended up sleeping altogether on one double bed.

Perfect place to stay in Krabi!
The people that own and run Thip are amazing! Its a family run place that is just wonderful. Close to the pier to head off to Railey Beach which is also awesome. Food is wonderful and the service is great. If you want a quite place to relax at night but you want to be close enough to the crowds during the day Thip is the way to go! Thank you for the great time!
