I checked in late afternoon and the counter staff were expecting me. Check-in was smooth. WiFi in room no problem. The rooms were of good sized and I liked the balcony area. There was also a constant flow of hot water while bathing which was appreciated. However, everything was old. Towels were old, toilet bowl, shower head...etc. As long as it's clean I don't mind. Every now and then there was smell of sewage, I don't know if it's the hotel problem or the town's problem. The walls were incredibly thin. You can hear people WALKING outside in the corridor or in the next room. Need ear plugs to sleep.
I took a private van there from airport for 600 baht but when I asked counter staff for ride back, there was a 150 baht option (shared van) which was preferred. I don't know how to book that from airport to hotel (try calling the hotel to ask), but counter staff can book for you from hotel to airport. Hotel staff also didn't reply my email twice so I had to call them to confirm my request of a double bed.
I didn't use the pool because it didn't look inviting. There were constantly mosquitos in my bedroom though even when aircon was on. Across the road to the right, there is a quaint and small beach side stall that sells fruit juices and alcoholic beverages. I like that rustic feel. Further down the road (exit hotel and turn right) about 70m there is a cluster of outdoor local food that isn't overpriced which I also enjoyed. Lively area of Ao Nang beach was about 10-12 minute walk
