This has to be the worst hotel in the world....it was so bad i had to check in to another hotel, my partner slept here and the next morning he had bed bug bites all over him....we stripped the bed to find a matress cover which was covered in blood and very very bad urine staines....we talked to the manager and she said....some people do have accidents and she can not be held responsible for the house keeping departments decisions to change the covers year on year....i was shocked and left the hotel for somewhere better pretty quickly.....which was the vouge..we search over 30 hotels in krabi and this is the BEST!!!! krabi thai village is not a 4 star hotel and is nowhere near it.....book it and you will have a holiday from hell.....good riddens to the worst hotel i ever stayed....

We will start with the good points : Large, comfortable room, cleaned regularly by friendly staff. All staff very friendly. The hotel is in a good position and an easy 10 mins walk into town but the restaurants directly across the road are very good.

Myself & my husband (in our early 40's) chose this hotel for relaxation and good pool area. This we did not get. The pool area is definately in need of a refurbishment. The beds & umbrellas were very grubby & dated and NOT enough to go around. On one occassion we had to sit on the concrete around the pool as no beds were free (or without towels placed on!) which you do not expect from a 4 star rated hotel (which it definately isn't). There is a great probelm with towels placed on beds and not being used for several hours.
The hotel is mainly occupied by families making the pool area crowded with noisy children who do not use the childrens pool provided.
The breakfast is adequate & we recommend the curries which were delicious and varied most mornings.
The air con in our room was very loud & we were unable to sleep on our first night. We reported this & engineers attempted to fix the problem, but to us it was just the same - take ear plugs! I fell in the room on the last day as the air con was turned on high and leaked all over the tiled floor. We were offered a bowl of fruit which was no good as it was our last day.
We stayed an extra 2 nights due to the dispute at the airport. Hope that every body got home OK who we spoke to. (We were looked after by Kuoni).
We also had a slight sewerage smell in the room as mentioned in earlier review but it wasn't too bad.

We would not return to this hotel.

Also, where were the 7 acres of gardens & Italian restaurant as mentioned in a couple of brochures I read prior to booking?

Krabi Thai Village Resort is a perfect hotel for families with small children. Good pool facilities.

However, there is room for improvement of the staffs skills in english. You can't be sure that you get what you order.

If you want to go on excursion it is a good idea to use the company "unseen excursion" at the hotel. It is value for money. If you are a group of 6 people or more it is possible to have your own private boat, when visiting Phi-Phi Island or Hong Island. We can strongly recommend that.

Dont use the massage center at the hotel. Use insted Massage Corner just across the street (actually in the alley behind Sawasdee restaurant).

And Sawasdee restaurant is a very good restaurant. Excellent thai food.

stayed at hotel during the bangkok airport crisis. front desk were very uninterested in clients plight and were more keen on getting them to stay longer at the same daily rate with no discount whilst other hotels dropped the price by around a third than advising them on how to arrange flights home. hotel itself was tired and jaded . we had two differnt rooms and both smelt of sewage so much so we checked out early ( still had to pay for night we didnt stay ) and moved to the brand new aonang cliff beach resort for half the price and 3 times the service and luxury .my advice - stay at one of the many lovely hotels in krabi and give this one a miss
