Ao Nang Orchid Resort in Ao Nang

The staff were genuinely outstanding. Throughout our stay, they were extremely helpful, friendly, and hardworking. The level of service was excellent, and the team did everything possible to ensure guests felt comfortable.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the hotel itself. Booking lists the property as a four-star hotel, but this information appears to be incorrect. The hotel is actually rated three stars, which can also be verified on Google, and the overall condition and experience reflect that level. The building looks poorly maintained. Strong food odors from nearby restaurants entered the room from outside, and loud music from surrounding venues was clearly audible inside. Sound and air insulation were inadequate, making it very difficult to rest, especially with nightclub noise continuing until around 3 a.m.

The hotel clearly needs a thorough renovation. The bathroom felt outdated, with the bathtub separated by a plastic shower curtain that did not meet hotel standards and felt more like student housing. The view was also disappointing, as we had to look at rooftops and ongoing chimney maintenance. In addition, although the building has only three floors, there is no elevator, so guests must use the stairs at all times.

Despite all of this, I initially did not want to leave a negative review. However, the representative who contacted us via Booking sent repeated messages regarding a delay of less than one hour, creating unnecessary pressure. This approach and attitude caused our vacation to end on a disappointing note. For this reason, I decided to share this experience and leave a negative review.
