Booked a room with double bed n attached bathroom. Room n toilet clean! We were also provided with towels. . . Downside is that the room is on 4th floor, so it can be tiring if u have heavy luggages with you, and a/c could be colder. Many plus sides though, friendly, warm hostel owners, near night market, about 5-10 mins walk from the weekend market, and about 15-20 mins walk to the khong klan pier night market (street food). Try out the Thai massage at First Lady Thai massage. . . It's FABULOUS

The rooms are perfectly clean and cozy, with great A/C and wonderfully comfortable beds (especially by Thai standards). Its in a great location close to several markets and restaurants. Also, this place is run by some incredibly nice people. All the staff were great and the lady at the frot desk gave me a change purse as a gift the first time we stayed, then remembered us and gave my boyfriend a keychain when we stayed there again weeks later so he wouldn't feel left out. Top marks all around!

We felt very welcomed by the staff at the hotel that we believe is a family businnes. We liked so much that we decided to book back with them when we went back to Krabi and they remembered us which make us happy. The hotel is conveniently situated next to the food market and 7eleven as well as several pubs and restaurants within walking distance. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The toilets need to be cleaned more often during the day as they are shared.

Great place, very friendly staff, and reasonable airport transfer. We just stayed 1 night on our way out of town but enjoyed it a lot. There is a great night market right down the street!

The couple owners Mr Man and his wife Noot are lovely people, they really make you feel at home. The location is excellent, right beside the night market and close to the river and some good bars/restaurants!

We had a lovely stay here when stopping over in krabi. Really friendly staff. Only downside was that the bed was very hard! We would stay here again if ever in krabi again. Try and go to krabi at the weekend, ask there is a good walking street nearby.

I can't leave a proper review for this hostel as we were told that this hostel was full when we arrived, and taken to the owners' "sisters" hostel around the corner. Her place was actually OK, but it was all a bit dodgy to be honest.

Initially booked for one night but ended up staying three. The rooms are big and the staff are absolutely lovely. It's the comfiest, cleanest and friendliest guesthouses of our trip so far, highly recommend as it is excellent value for money.

We stayed here for 3 nights, it was a greathostel and the owners were really nice people and very helpful with trying to organise trips for you. We even got to watch the Liverpool match in the communal area. Room was very nice and the shared bathroom was a good size, only criticism was that the mattress was slightly hard. Overall really enjoyed it, it was cheap and would definately stay there again

Very helpful staff. Good location Our room did not have an air conditioner, and would not book a fan room again, but a room with A/C would be fine.

Krabi town has no direct access to the sea, only to the river. And is about 30 min by car distance till the nearest beach Ao Nang. We came the first day, paid for the entire stay (mistake) and than when we saw how far the hotel is to the beach decided to stay only 1 night but to pay for 2 nights. The owner was not flexible at all, he insisted on the payment for 3 nights:-\ Bad feelings regarding this hotel: the shower and toilet were strange and no clients around. Bad location&approach.

The hostel overbooked the rooms. We ended up getting taken to another hostel after lugging our bags to the hostel. They knew they were going to move us, but they did not bother to email us ahead of time and let us know which was fairly irritating. However, the owners were nice and apologetic about overbooking.

The thing I liked at Gafiyah were the very friendly owners of this little guesthouse. I would stay here again.

We had the superior double room which was worth its money. Don't expect to much. At least it was very clean and the room was pretty spacious. It's a typical hotel to spend one night before leaving to the nice beaches around.
