I had a lovely stay at the hotel! The room was spacious and clean, plus the bathroom was really stylish with an amazing shower. While the location was great, and I appreciated the convenience of nearby amenities, the view from my window was a bit disappointing. Overall, I felt I got good value for money considering the comfort and service.

I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel, thanks to its fantastic location just a short stroll from the beach. The rooms were basic but comfortable and clean, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful, which made me feel very welcome.

Smile Hotel is situated in a prime location just a short walk from the beach. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with great amenities like Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The staff is accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay with daily room cleaning and additional services. However, the breakfast options could use some variety, and the availability of English TV channels was misleading.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which was spotlessly clean and bright. The staff made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived, and I really appreciated the extra touches, like the early breakfast on my last day. However, it's worth noting that there’s no lift, which could be a challenge if you have heavy bags. Overall, I'd definitely consider coming back if I’m looking for value for money.

We were unfortunately transferred to another hotel upon arrival despite our advance booking, which was frustrating. The room we got was basic but comfortable, though we dealt with bug issues. The staff seemed inexperienced, especially during checkout, but the location was convenient and close to the beach. Overall, it had potential but left us feeling let down, especially with the incorrect charges after our stay.

I had a pleasant stay at this budget-friendly hotel, which is centrally located yet still manages to feel quiet. The rooms are spacious and clean, providing a comfortable atmosphere. It's just a short walk to the beach, but be prepared for a bit of a disappointing experience with the swimming conditions due to the cleanliness of the beach. Overall, it’s a great value for money, but the lack of some amenities and the compromised beach experience were downsides.

This hotel has an excellent location in Ao Nang, just a short walk from the beach and local conveniences. The rooms are clean and provide a good size for the price, but be prepared for some challenges with the lack of a lift. While the staff is generally accommodating, the breakfast wasn't overly popular among guests, leading many, including myself, to opt for other options. Overall, it's a budget-friendly choice, but a few aspects could definitely improve the experience.

I stayed at Aonang Smile Hotel for a night, and it was surprisingly nice for the price. The location was just perfect, right on the main strip with shops and food options nearby. The room was large and basic, but it did the job for convenience. I was really impressed by the honesty of the staff when they kept my laptop safe after I mistakenly left it behind. The only downside was that it was quite basic, but considering the value, I can't really complain.

I found this hotel to be a charming surprise during my stay. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, making it a comfortable place to rest. The staff is friendly but their English skills need improvement, which can lead to some misunderstandings. It's ideally located in the heart of Ao Nang, close to a multitude of dining and shopping options, yet surprisingly quiet. Overall, great value for the price, though some minor cleanliness issues could be addressed.
