4 nights beginning July 21. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The accommodation has 3 floors, and my room was good size and clean; bed, chair, wardrobe, table, 1 small nightstand, and a nice 1/2 size refrigerator (not the small ones that I'm accustomed to); a functional room that's not fancy, which is fine with me. The bed was firm, but not uncomfortable for me = subjective opinion. The location was good = a short walk into Krabi town. The owners told me where to meet the public (and cheap = 50 baht each way) songthaew (= pickup with bench seats = Thai style) so I could visit Ao Nang beach area nearby. The owners called the minivan (90 baht) to pick me up and take me to the airport. The bathroom/shower area was OK with very good water pressure (I was on the 2nd floor); owners provided some shower soap and shampoo. Overall, a great deal for the price = just under 500 baht/night via Booking. 89 Cafe & Restaurant is a 5-minute walk away (western & Thai menu, but can also do vegan and vegetarian versions if you tell them which ingredients you don't want). The accommodation has lots of brochures of what to see & do in Krabi, but this information just might not be current in the post-Covid era.

There was a hot water kettle in the reception area, but no kettle in the rooms. TV had only Thai channels, so no English-speaking news channels like BBC.

Nice staff and pretty good location walking distance and so easy to rent a bike! Nice big room with balcony!

There were a few ants in the room but not to bad and they came and cleaned them away!

Visit in 2/2023. As you know from other reviews owners are simply nearly perfect. Very helpful with providing info and arranging trips and transportation. Trustable people.

The only bad experience was with recommended scooter rental service - we travelled in Thailand one month, ve hired scooters many times but this was farly the worst experience - very old hardly working pieces, which had to me exchanged, but anyway during one trip we got dramatic fuel leakage and our scooter stopped. But we solved it by pushing it home and we got another exchange. I believe you have more rental service in krabi - you can change it :-).

Simple, clean and comfortable room with excellent Wi-Fi and awesome air conditioner. Convenient to rent motorbike directly from hotel for fair price with no mechanical issues. Owner was very helpful to book Ko Phi Phi and 4 Island boat trip for a great price during April. Hotel is only 5-10 min walk to local food market, 7-11, grocery store and laundry in Krabi town.

We prefer to stay in Krabi town, but some people might like to be closer to Ao Nang beach.

I stayed in Baan Samrarn for a week. Both of the owners were very welcoming and friendly, and always ready to help. The room was simple, but spacious, with a desk and a fridge, which was convenient. There were two large windows, so the room was bright. The mattress was hard indeed, as mentioned in other comments, but it only bothered me on the first night - I then slept quite well, maybe also thanks to the excellent thai massage I got just down the street! The location is quite good and within walking distance to the walking street and night weekend market, the river, the city center and songthaews. There are several good restaurants and cafes near by, as well as a weekly night market. A lady can do your laundry just across the street. I was helped to get a minivan to Ao Nang on my departure day at a very good price, which saved me from walking to town with my luggage. I truly appreciated it.

The WiFi was not always working well, especially in the evening. I was disturbed by some noisy guests at times, but this can happen in all hotels!

The place was very clean and close to the center (5 min walk). From the main road you can get shared taxis to any location around, including the airport. The place has everything you need for a few days in Krabi: AC, fridge and TV that you can connect to laptop to watch something online. The owner offers free coffee in the morning which we really appreciated since we had to leave early. I know that for some people the beds were too hard but for us they were perfect. In general you need to remember that compared with Europe/America they use harder beds - it's tough to avoid this.

Everything great. Really comfy hard bed, very friendly and helpful staff. Air con cooled the room very quickly. Good price and close to eating places and quite close to the river and food stalls. told us to let them know when we want the room cleaning. Would stay again.

That we had to leave

Great staff, friendly. Quiet location but short walk to town and food and mall and everything.

Just a number of ants in the room (not sure how they could be stopped. And some mold in bathroom.

Everything was perfect the rooms were clean and they asked everyday did we want cleaning, the people who own and run the place are super helpful and friendly and nothing is too much. Organised our tours and helped with anything we needed. Fantastic place would definitely go here again.

Clean rooms, good beds, there is even a balcony. The staff was very friendly and the hotel was nice and quiet.

There is no cattle in the room, and the reception is locked in the evening (around 8 or 9 pm) so there is no way to get any hot (drinking) water after that time.
