Nice quiet hostel!
Chanchalay was a great little hostel! The facilities were clean and the location was awesome. Staff was really friendly and helpful. There’s no wifi in the rooms and the common area closes at 10pm which was a little inconvienant. Showers were also freezing cold. There’s not much of a atmosphere but we just came off of phi phi so it was nice to have a bit of a break from socializing. If your looking for a clean, quiet and easy stay I would for sure recommend chanchalay!

Overall a great stay. Place is kept clean & really well maintained even though 15yrs old from what i read of other reviews. The design & colours of the hotel is very comfortable to the eyes & makes you feel relaxed. Even the bathrooms are quite enjoyable!

Helpful Hotel Staff and Spacious Room
Gorgeous design. Love the colours of blue and white. The toilet is very big! The room was very spacious as compare to the other hotels I stayed in krabi. It's close to a few cafes, bistro, bars, family mart, 7-11, krabi river and night market. The staff was very helpful, I had informed them that we will be checking out at 5am due to an early flight and they had even assisted us in reminding our driver to pick us up to the airport.

Great location! Clean, quiet, comfortable
Awesome location, cheap motorcycle rental across the road. Close to walking markets and river. Clean rooms cute decoration. We didn't get breakfast there but reasonably priced. Nice bathrooms. Would go again defiantly. Great value for the price. Not a very social hostel if that's what you want though. Stayed for 3 nights. Check out was 11 but they let us keep our bags and hang around till 4 when our shuttle came.

Stay here!
We stayed in Krabi one night to be closer to the airport after staying in the islands. We loved this guesthouse - it was perfect! The staff were so friendly and the rooms were so clean and cute. We stayed in a private one bedroom with private bathroom and it was like a little cottage - we loved the outdoor shower, comfy bed, AC and location to the night markets.

I had a room with a fan. They were intense fans. AC would have been nice, it's a bit more to get a room with AC. The property was so cute and clean. They helped us book some tours, and were very nice and a great helping with all my tourist questions. I had breakfast there too for a fee, it was tasty!

Cosy guest house for a pleasant two days in Krabi
We were a couple and we've had a pleasant experience. The guest house it's clean and the staff is nice. It's really nice decorated, cute and cosy. We spent two days here, but this guest house it's also good for longer periods. It's centrally positioned in Krabi town, really good if interested to move and visit Krabi region and krabi's weekend market, a bit far from Krabi's famous beaches and seaside. Anyway at walking distance from the guest house it's really easy to rent scooters or get taxi. If going again in Krabi I would certainly go back at Chanchalay
