Reviews of Royal Nakara Ao Nang

Excellent hotel with a great location. The room was clean and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, great value for money and a wonderful stay in this hotel at ao nang.. really recommended😘

They let me check in early, which I really appreciated. I got a spacious room with a terrace on the top floor, so the view was amazing! Great location. The ladies at the front desk were all very smiling and friendly. Housekeeping every day, clean towels, two bottles of water, coffee. The only downside is that my bed linen wasn't changed once during the whole week.

We enjoyed our stay here staff always friendly nice and quiet at night and a lovely size room with large balcony

Nothing crazy about this place. But it’s good price, cold air con and a quick walk to the beach. Worth the money

The room is spacious and close to restaurants. The female staff at the front desk was very helpful with travel recommendations.

Staying here felt like I was back in a villa in Malaysia from my childhood! It has a wonderful Nanyang vibe. Highly recommend it! The owner was great; they even refunded us when we had to go back to Phuket unexpectedly. 👍👍👍

Only stayed for 1 night. But the location is really convenient only 800m to the ao nang beach. The staffs pretty nice and helpful

What a fantastic find in Ao Nang! The lovely lady at the reception was incredibly helpful and kind, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was huge and spotlessly clean, offering amazing value for money. We loved the nice balcony with chairs—a perfect spot to relax. If we return to Ao Nang, we will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Huge room with an equally huge balcony. Soft, comfortable bed. The room has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The hotel itself is in a quiet area, close to shops, many cafes, and restaurants. The beach is a 10-minute walk away. We were especially pleased that we could check in early.

Room was clean but bathroom needs a renovation and a lot of Mosquitoes

The location is fantastic, well done, we had a great check-in.

Amazing spacious room. Had a wonderful stay. The location was also amazing a few min walk to the beach. And night markets.

Big room Great price Quiet

Weird experience at this property. I found all the properties in Thailand very friendly and accommodative except this. As soon as I arrived for check in, instead of greeting, they asked for passport and 200 THB as security deposit for the key. I was surprised asking the deposit for the key? They said they dont have any staff in the hotel after 10 pm, and if i need to enter hotel afterwards, I need to pay deposit for key to access the main gate. This was insane for me, as in hotel in pattaya asked for deposit for any damages I make, which made sense, however they considered as a tourist I may not have instant cash to pay deposit and allowed a smooth stay. But this hotel, when I questioned about the deposit for the key and said I do not have cash now, they took the main entrance key out of the key chain and said, I cannot enter the hotel. Upon further discussion, the guy at reception called the owner, even owner was not supportive and they both started yelling, which ignited me to yell back at them too. I asked them, let me check in get freshened up as I am tired from the travel, upon 45 minutes of tough talk, they allowed me to enter room and agreed to give me the key with condition I pay deposit next day first thing. Upon checking in at room, I found room setup different than the photo shown, mainly the bedsheets color which was very dark making the ambience dull. I requested if they can change the bedsheets to white as mentioned in the photos of the room. In response, they said the photo was from many years back, and they cannot change this for me and I can leave the hotel, if I don’t want to stay and they would refund my money. I did not at all expect this gesture from the owner and service staff. I asked to allow me some time to check if I can find another hotel at that time (8:30 pm). The support staff forcibly, took my luggage out of the room and asked me to leave immediately. I said, let me check other options if I can find, if not I will stay. The support staff, took the key off, and said all lights and ac will turn off in few minutes stay if you want to and was leaving. I had to shout at him as he took my luggages out of the room without my consent and I while I did not cancel my booking. I never said I will not stay, I had to tell them let me check other options when they said I can leave. After this heat moment, they started to say they don’t want me to stay there and I should leave immediately. In return, I said I cannot leave with my luggages on the street, and would call the police for this behavior. Finally, they allowed me to stay 15 minutes to check other options. Unfortunately, I could not find anything nearby to consider. As agreed, I came down to the reception with my luggages, and said let me walk nearby keeping my luggage at their reception to check any availability in neighborhood. This time the support staff was bit cool and gave some ideas to check x and x hotels nearby. Unfortunately, all were fully booked. The time was nearly 9:30 pm. I wasted my about 2 hours discussing, yelling and shouting, losing all my appetite for holiday plan. Ultimately, I was with no other choice than staying there. I stayed back. The room had ants everywhere in table in bed, and ac was making noise. The building was very old, with decades old doors and windows designs, mainly toilet door. The room I stayed was 62, top floor on the left. The good things were: it was in a good location and the balcony was very big, with nice view. Rest all were messed, including the behavior of support staff and owner, which is very rare in Thailand. I strongly don’t recommend this property.
