Accommodation and facilities:
We used family room with 4 persons but hotel had only one key to offer, hard to manage when people come and go. Also in pool area there is space for more sunbeds even all existing ones are fully occupaid currently. Also pool towels running out almost every day. Small investment, more satisfied customers. Location is very good.

Jag och min familj bodde i ett familyroom vilket innebär ett stort rum med balkong och med ett angränsande rum/alkov med bred och fin våningssäng inkluderat egen AC och balkong för barnen. mycket bra! Vi har dessutom säkert haft världens mest tålmodiga städerska som dagligen fixat till efter oss. Något slitet badrum dock. Läget nära båtarna och shoppingen är utmärkt. Bra pool och frukost utmärkt service.

Beautiful and well maintained garden. Hotel staff was not friendly. I am afraid that my boyfrienf got a stomach flu from the hotel food he ate (tom yam soup, the prawns tasted strange and vere not fresh.) Otherwise thai food was very tasty, I love it!

I paid for a standard room for 2. I got a room with a double bed & 1 single bed,with sofa too ! room is nice, but there was smell in the room & on our last night, the aircon water was linking from the top floor (not sure why), this had caused the single bed goes wet. Other than that the hotel was quite good & very good location at Ao Nang. less than 5 minutes walk to the beach,shops are easy accessible just right outside the hotel, & it is quite a famous hotel chain where most of the taxi/shuttle drivers will know.Breakfast was average, with ommelete, bread, cornflakes & some local fried meals. Overall , worth for the price that we ve paid. The front desk staff should improve their friendlyness towards the customers also it is low season now.
Reservation service:
Good ! very prompt response !

It is the worst hotel which I ve been statyed in my life! The first room they gave to me there was no hot water at all! However, they kept on denying it and said it was hot water when I turned the shower on and let them check it! Eventually they agreed to change a new room with a tiny TV to me at 11:00Pm and later on I notice the room wall is very thin and I can hear my neighbour very clearly. Basically the staff attitude in this hotel is terrible and the room facility is terrible as well. Don't think I will never ever go back this hotel and won't recommand any of my friends to stay in this hotel neither.

the hotel location is great. very near to the breach. in addition, if you plan to go island hopping and diving, the long tail boat ticket service counter is very near to the hotel. it is on the left, less than 2 minites walk from hotel. the rental cost for the long tail boat full day is fixed at 2200 bath. it can accomodate up to 8 persons. it is a lot cheaper to buy the ticket from this counter than from travel agency. in addition, if you plan to go hat yai, buy the mini van ticket from the hotel front office travel desk. I got the cheapest price from the hotel. it cost me 300 bath one way from krabi to hay yai. all travel agencies nearby quoted me 400 to 450 bath.
Reservation service:
Good. I am happy with the service

Great location about 5min walk to Ao Nang beach. Shops, restaurants, bars etc are easily accessible. The superior room is BIG enough for 3 person with a queen size bed, a single bed and a sofa bed (I wonder why they re still charging us extra for the 3rd person). Room is simple with basic necessities. Breakfast is OK but we had the same food everyday. Staffs are friendly and helpful with directions. Well...we'll definitely consider staying there again!
Reservation service:
Fast and reliable. Always been using sawasdee.com for all my trips to Thailand.

Room was excellent. Location convient. There was some confusion when we first arrived as to which Best Western had our reservation. They are within walking distance of each other. We left a piece of luggage prior to check in at the wrong hotel. However we were fortunate to have the manager Ms. Suchada identify the problem and quickly locate the missing item. She even had her driver take us and the luggage back to the right Best Western.

Best Western Ban Ao Nang Resort
Accommodation and facilities:
It was high tourist season when we were in Phuket and stayed at BW BAN Restort. The Resort offers an excellent convenient location, being in the centre of shopping, eating and leisure activities. However, if one has problem with steps, this is a NO NO hotel. The main entrance to the hotel is a flight of steps. So are access to different parts of the hotel - breakfast is by the swimming pool and that's on a different floor! This is because BW BAN Resort is situated on a hill slope. We booked 2 rooms and were allocated them on 2 different floors. I would have thought that they would have put us next to each other as it was one booking made for 2 rooms. But, we were told that the hotel was full and that we did not make a request for it. We asked to be moved to be next to each other during our week long stay with them. Alas, that did not happen though we saw people checking out/in from the rooms on our floor. But, the reception staff was adamant that everything was pre-arranged and could not be changed. The Thais are noted for their friendliness and smile. The reception staff here are not unfriendly. But, neither are they friendly. One of the girls was surly, and during the 7 days I was there I have not seen her smiling. The exception is a male staff who doubled up as a bell boy. He was good in opening and closing the back gate for our hired car. No easy parking here as it is a busy street-front hotel without a parking lot with security (like most resort hotels). Each time we came back after 7pm (ie our dinner out), one of us had to go to the reception and request for the gate to be opened and which we later showed our appreciation with a tip. One of the two rooms we were allocated in the deluxe wing, was at the end of the top-most (third) floor. I stayed in this room and noted the rumbling airconditioner hanging over my head/bed. One evening, I heard lots of noises in the ceiling and concluded that rats were at play. The room is spacious but one of the cupboards stank of urine. The bathroom is fair. Breakfast was an assortment of Thai and Western. Being peak season, it was always full of people queing up for food. One morning, the kitchen ran out of butter. The kitchen staff worked hard to ensure a good turnaround of cutlery. Perhaps, the overall service of the hotel can be improved if it is not so busy and attention is given to maintenance.
Reservation service:
Excellent. Prompt in processing. Will recommend use. If any improvement is required, perhaps a prompting feature whether rooms (if more than one)booked should be next to each other.

Best Western Ban Ao Nang Resort
Accommodation and facilities:
The quality of this hotel is totally unacceptable and we will be contacting SiameServices and Best Western directly for recompence. We booked 4 rooms and they were so bad we refused to stay! We had poor quality beds, views of the car park, the rooms smelt and were damp, the balcony was about 5 Sq feet and the furnture either rusty or mouldy.The rooms were full of mosquitos and even had a resident cockroach! Do yourselves a favour avoid this hotel it really is the worst and dirtiest example we have ever come across!
Reservation service:
booking all smooth and simple, lets see if they sort the complaint!

Best Western Ban Ao Nang Resort
Accommodation and facilities:
Friendly staff. Service with a smile. Rooms are a little run down. Poolside massage! P/s: Not all rooms are poolside/seaview as claimed by the website. The one we got was facing the carpark. 1) Booked for a standard room, but got a FREE upgrade to a family room with 2 huge beds. (Nice??? Read on...) 2) Room was probably left unused for a long period of time, coz it was infested with mosquitoes. Commando mosquitoes! Despite burning a full pack of mosquito repellent coils (at least 2 daily), we returned with at least 10 souvenior bites each. Besides the location of the room/mosquitoes, the room is pretty decent. 3) Breakfast was a little below expectations. Don't expect a big spread. Eggs and sausages are probably your best bet there. The rest are about 3/10. 4) Seats at the dining area are readily available and right next to the pool. (That's what we like about this hotel) 5) If you are planning for some island trips (e.g. Phi Phi), go across the road from the hotel, there's a small shop named Alan Travel . Look out for a very friendly middle-age lady. Genuinely helpful, doesn't fleece you at all! Even helped us sourced for another tuk-tuk, when the one we flagged down ourselves overcharge us. Overall rating: 6/10
Reservation service:
Excellent! No problems at all. Will give SiamWebHosting ***** (5 stars!) Besides, which web reservation site asks for your comments after your trip? Will definitely use SiamWebHosting again!

Best Western Ban Ao Nang Resort
Accommodation and facilities:
a little disappointing, but not too bad. the lobby, grounds and pool area are nice, but the rooms are a little suspect. we actually had to move rooms. in our first room the AC only cooled one area of the room and took all night to cool the entire room. the TV was also very fuzzy. our second room was much better. overall it was okay, but i expected a little more.
Reservation service:
fast and reliable, a great service

Best Western Ban Ao Nang Resort
Accommodation and facilities:
Ok. The staff at the recption we did not like at all. No good service. We had booked a familyroom, but we got 2 rooms instead. No explanation or nothing at all. Nobody told us that we could not have the rooms before 14.00. We will not go back to that hotel again.
Reservation service:
Perfect, but we did not get the right room that we had booked.

Best Western Ban Ao Nang Resort
Accommodation and facilities:
Very clean, quiet, well located. Within walking distance of the beech, restaurants and night markets. Highly recommended! Note: There are 2 Best Westerns in Ao Nang - we were at the further one up the hill, not the one on Main Street , which may be noisier. All-in-all, 4.5 stars at $75/night.
Reservation service:
I booked on the internet for the 1st time, and this was a great experience! Timely feedback on all monetary transactions and emails. I was truly impressed, and wish everyone did business like this.

Reservation service:
gikk greit å bestille, men når vi var vært en uke , fikk vi beskjed om fra siamwebhosting at vi skulle betale mer for rommene som vi hadde betalt en mnd før avreise, dette gjorde vi selvsagt ikke da vi hadde vougher. litt dårlig
