Request hot water but the front desk give us bad face 4. One day wifi provided ONLY

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!

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.
