We picked this hotel because it was a five-minute walk from the ferry dock. It met our needs and we would have liked it even more had we our wits about us. The air conditioning was not working properly and we should have told the hotel about it right away. Once we brought it to their attention, we had a new room very quickly.
The hotel is within walking distance of the morning and evening markets, Wat Kaew, the riverside trail, and lots of cafes and restaurants. It's only inconvenient for the big box stores on the way to the airport, which we didn't need. A block away is the Pak Up hostel which is the bus stop for catching an inexpensive ride to the airport.
The hotel appears to have been fixed up not too long ago or they just keep good care of it. They have an included breakfast (eggs cooked to order, rice or toast, fruit, and random inclusion of not-crispy bacon or ham, and one of the best coffees I had in three weeks in Thailand), drawers for your shoes in the lobby, and staff available around the clock.
Had we known how hot Krabi was going to be (89°F, felt like 100°F) and how humid (90+% with some showers), we probably would have picked a place with a swimming pool and used a Red Truck or tuk-tuk to get around.
