Doungta Anda Hotel – Krabi, Thailand

Details

About the Doungta Anda Hotel

Located in the Pak Nam district of Mueang Krabi, this hotel offers a quieter, more authentic alternative to Krabi's busier tourist centers. Its riverside location provides easy access to the limestone landscape of Phang Nga Bay and the numerous islands and beaches that make Krabi such a popular destination. Scooters are available for rent directly at the hotel, allowing guests to explore the surrounding area independently and affordably.

The rooms are generally spacious, and some include a kitchenette. The resort features a pool area with a separate children's pool. However, guests should have realistic expectations, as recent visitor reviews raise concerns about pool maintenance, an unreliable water supply, room cleanliness, and thin walls. The staff is consistently praised for being helpful and friendly, a quality repeatedly highlighted in reviews.

The Doungta Anda Hotel is best suited for travelers with a practical itinerary who value ample space and independence over luxurious resort amenities. The driest and most pleasant time to visit Krabi is from November to April, with peak season between December and February. Early booking is recommended during this period. Those who primarily intend to use the hotel as a base for day trips and outdoor activities, rather than spending extended periods at the hotel itself, will likely find this the ideal choice.

Google reviews

It's a really good hotel with friendly staff and a lovely pool, including a very large children's pool. Some of the rooms are quite spacious and have a kitchenette. The balconies are medium-sized, but without chairs, which you can request. The hotel consists of two sections and, as far as I remember, was completed in January 2017, so everything is new. There's a large parking lot, but the hotel is about 3 km from the city center. The restaurant is currently only open for breakfast. Overall, the facilities are good. My criticism concerns the staff, especially at reception. It's understandable that they don't speak English, but they should be trained in courtesy and helpfulness.

Advantages: Spacious, clean room. Disadvantages: Thin walls.

Location: Bad, far from everything. Pool: Bad, the pictures must be 10 years old. The water is dirty, everything is damaged. Room: Smells unpleasant, cobwebs everywhere. Staff: Very helpful and friendly. I paid almost nothing for the room, but it still wasn't worth it.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

A pool villa doesn't have to be expensive.

Villas with private pools in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are available from around 2,500–4,000 THB per night – a fraction of the prices in Bali or the Maldives. Search specifically for "pool villa" to discover hidden gems.

Location is more important than the stars

A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
