We were ready to check in at this place but the lady behind the counter (think it was the manager) made us decide not to stay here at all. She was just being rude and she absolutely didn't understand what an impact her behaviour had. When I told her I found her reaction to my simple questions a bitt strange... More

We stayed for two nights at Chan Cha Lay. The people are friendly and can organize tours for you. The rooms are immaculately clean and the bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Good location, close to the night market with great street vendor food, yum! Check out Are You? Bar just down the road, the owner Pik is awesome!

We spent 2 nights in the private bath room (450baht) and another 2 nights in share bath room(250 baht) with fan. The room with private bath room is great. Clean, nice and good location. As a summary: Service: Good, I would say consider a normal service. Value: Definitely worth what you paid. Room: Very nice. You might hear a bit... More

We got a fan room, en-suite for 450Thb and it was a very nice room. Everthing clean, well looked after & nicely decorated. Helpful staff who are not pushy when giving information. Good location and the garden room we had was well back from the street with no traffic noise.

We cannot recommend this place in Krabi as the owners were very unfriendly and unreliable. We made a reservation via phone for one night and also mentioned that we will arrive later in the evening. But when we arrived the owner said we never called and they are already full for this night. Then she started screaming aggressively on us... More

My husband are very pleased with the rooms here. The beds are firm is an understatement but they are clean and well looked after. The Lonely Planet said there were TV's but there are not. The communal washrooms are clean and safe. I would recommend this place for the $350 Baht we paid per night.

This hostel is very cheap! We paid about 250 baht for a double room per night, fan cooled. The rooms and the bathrooms are very clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The interior of the hostel is very chilly, as well as the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place.

Called ahead after a 24 hour bus journey and assured room was booked - we said we were on the bus and would be there in about 4 hours. On arrival 3 1/2 hours later. jovial and smiley hostess informs us that they had given our room away. She kept insisting we had promised to be there within 2 hours.... More

The Chan Cha Lay is not the cheapest guest house in Krabi (250-450 baht per night), but having stayed at 2 others this one is definitely the best value for money. The rooms were well furnished (with plugs) and clean. The shared bathrooms and showers were spotless. Management could not be friendlier or more helpful. There is a travel desk... More

We vere very fortunate to find a room in this extremely pleasant guesthouse just by dropping in. This guesthouse is very atmospheric and well decorated. It is also very clean. We had a charming room with a fan and a private bathroom, but they also have rooms with a shared bathroom, which cost a bit less. The shower was cold,... More
