Navinda Krabi

Had this on offer for 3 nights at S$95. It’s low season and the hotel was pretty quiet (saw only 3-4 other guests and almost nobody at the swimming pool most of the time. Good thing is the service is fast and excellent. My room was at the highest level and at the junction of the main road. It was of a decent size, clean but some things needed fixing during the off season. The balcony door could not be locked and one of the curtains was damaged but still managed to fully close. Someone next door could have climbed over but being just beside the main road would have discouraged that. The toilet paper holder was damaged but still somehow held on to dear life. The tap/faucet kept falling off, which is a huge annoyance. Hot water wasn’t hot enough. In fact it was barely warm which meant that I didn’t turn on the cold water at all to shower! The bathroom had a sliding door which kept opening if not locked, and that hid the wardrobe and safe box which I struggled to find after checking in. There wasn’t any lights in the wardrobe. Air conditioning was noisy even at the lowest setting. My room was at the junction of the main road which meant there was a bit of noise but it didn’t bother me much. The great feature was the small pool. It’s clean and regularly maintained. I saw people check the water condition during my stay. From my side of the hotel, it is only accessible by stairs. The hotel also provides a basket with a beach mat and 2 towels, which is a lovely gesture. I’m unsure how they get returned and cleaned though as there are no instructions and also no towels or towel baskets at the pool. Overall, the stay tolerable with no show stoppers. If they can fix the above issues then the stay would be perfect!

The location of the hotel is great, is by the main road, so solo female travellers don't have to worry about walking in dark alley. There are 711s, many massage places and food places just a few steps away. The service is great! All the staff were super friendly and helpful, I was attended to by P'Maria, she helped me with my check in and with the bookings of my day trips. Amazing service! The room I got has pool access, and it was a huge room too! Love it. I would definitely come back to this hotel when I return to Krabi.

Near beach.

Perfect location for a peaceful stay. Swimming pool access was awesome.
