Ao-Nang Sunset Hotel

This no-frills hotel is geared towards tourists and situated on a main road that leads to the beach. Decor is simple, with Thai-style furnishings and chunky wood-carved pieces found throughout the hotel. A casual restaurant with outdoor seating is located next to the lobby, where guests can grab something to eat or drink before heading out. The outdoor pool is a lovely place to tan and get some peace and quiet during the day, though sun loungers are limited. Most guests staying here are couples and small groups in town for a short stay. Some families also stay here, though the hotel doesn't cater well to children.

The Ao-Nang Sunset Hotel is located on a main road that leads to the beach. It's a good spot for any traveler who likes to be near the action without being right on top of it. The beach and its lively attractions are just a three-minute walk away. There are plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants in the immediate area around the hotel, plus useful amenities like ATMs and supermarkets. You may hear some noise from nearby bars. Taxis are easy to access outside the hotel. Guests can book excursions from the tour desk, such as long-tail boat trips to Railay Beach and the Phra Nang Caves. Nopparat Thara Pier -- for ferries to Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, and Koh Lanta -- can be reached in 15 minutes by car. Krabi Airport is a 45-minute drive from the hotel. 

The hotel's 44 rooms are built around a tropical terrace with a small swimming pool. All rooms have furnished balconies, some offering nice pool views. The decor is similar to the rest of the hotel, with simple Thai-style accents and chunky wood-carved furniture. Rooms are cool and bright with tiled floors, white walls, neutral tones, and small separate seating areas. Standard in-room amenities are generous and include free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, minibars, phones, and safes. There are no closets, though hanging racks are provided. Tiled bathrooms are clean, but basic, with shower/tub combos, pump toiletries, and tube hairdryers. Guests should note that although the hotel is mostly quiet, some noise can be heard from nearby bars at night. 

The hotel has some decent facilities for a relatively small property. An outdoor pool is ideal for cooling off after a long day at the beach, surrounded by tropical plants, tables and chairs, and a few sun loungers. There's no spa, but the hotel offers massage services. An all-day restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and outdoor seating serves typical Thai and European cuisines, plus fresh seafood dishes. A generous breakfast buffet is available for a reasonable fee, consisting of hot and cold options like toast, eggs, fresh fruit, tea, and coffee. Room service is available, though hours are limited. Other hotel services include a tour desk, laundry service, and airport transfers for a fee; but there is no parking. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
