“The Small - suits my needs just fine!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

Arrived at the reception and was greeted very warmly by the staff - check-in was very quick and efficient. As with many other 3-4 star hotels, The Small Hotel also provides all the rooms with free wireless, DVD players with rental DVDs available at the reception. However, we only receive 2 complimentary bottles of water on the first day we checked-in.

Anyhow, that was not going to undermine the fact that The Small is still a value-for money place to stay. I was very impressed with the size of my room (3009) and the bathroom - enjoyed the space and the simple furnishings and design, just thought that the TV was a tad too small for a room of that size :P There's a balcony attached with every room which overlooks the pool and you can do some quite reading there.

Location of the Small Hotel is great. Just 3 mins walk to the Ao Nang beach and the town area is just a short 5 mins walk (turn left at the junction outside the hotel, in the mini-mart direction). I enjoyed walking over to the Tiger Massage parlour just beside the hotel - if only I could ask the masseur to come over to my hotel room for an hour's massage so I could fall right back into a deep slumber... ahhh... sheer relaxation!

Free breakfast in the morning was simple but nice and, I loved the omelette station. A very friendly lady staff preparing the omelette! You will find the usual stuff - cereals, bread, pastry, noodles, sausage, etc.

All-in-all, I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I do come back to Krabi!

“Brilliant staff, we will return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

We stayed 3 nights at the The Small 26-30 October 2011 and had a great stay.
The Guest Relations Manager, was always around to offer any assistance and did a great job at making our stay with them pleasurable and memorable. We had a fabulous holiday. Would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you to all staff involved in running this fine establishment.

“Nice but inconsistent”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

Booked 2 rooms for my family. The pool access room was great, although being on the ground floor and next to the pool, there were a lot of mosquitos. I do recommend you buy those mosquito repellent coils and light 1 at night and place it next to the glass doors to ward off these nasties. Room was spacious enough even after putting a travel bed in.

The moon deck suite was good although don't expect much of a view. You can view other hotels and some greenery but unable to see the sea from the rooftop. We didn't get a hair dryer or a dvd player in the room although the pool access room had them.

If you think it might rain, don't hang clothes/towels etc out on the balcony. The overhang on the balcony is small and rain will wet your clothes. This happened when we were out for lunch one afternoon.

Breakfast is actually food platters with the same food as the Krabi Hotel La Praya. Woke up super early one morning and saw them carrying the trays in. Although the Small does have their own omelet station.

If you like eating at Carnivore or want to try Carnivore, the Small is fairly near... a walk abt 20 mins (including uphill).

“Clean fashionable and great service staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

A very trendy hotel sitting at one end of Ao nang beach.

Was surprised to see how neat and clean when i first step my foot into it. With pool access from your room.

If your prefer a place where you can enjoy great peace during your night sleep, this is the place for you.

Simply loved this place and had stayed 2 times there. Overall is SUPER great deals!

Room Tip: chose the room with pool access if u liked to have a swim as and when u liked
