“A great hotel experience”

Had a great time in Railay staying at the Princess. Lovely pool area, 5min from good bars and restaurants. Wifi is free although not very fast or reliable. Reasonable breakfast by the sea. Would have happily stayed longer than 3 nights.

“Great location at a good price”

While not the most fancy hotel in the area, Railay Princess is set in the middle of the area and it is a short walk to anywhere. The grounds are beautiful and the food is good, and being able to share amenities with Railay Bay really makes this a great option at a reasonable price.

“Railay”

Ideally located for both Railay east (cheaper bars and restaurants and more of a buzz) and west (more scenic)

“Railay Princess”

pLEASANT ROOM with very nice balcony and a choice of three pools. Well placed in RailayBUT PRETTY UNCOMMUNICATIVE STAFF

“Disappointed overall”

I'd booked this hotel despite the bad reviews, which I can now add to(!): 1. Check-in took 30 minutes because they couldn't locate our booking at first 2. We were given a double room despite booking a twin. They said no other twin rooms were left, and it took us another 15 minutes of negotiating before they gave us a slightly better twin bed room. 3. Room safe was locked, which only the manager can unlock. The Manager works till 5pm, and after fluffing around with check-in, we'd missed him. The next day, we were told he'd be in our room in 90 minutes. We gave up. 4. There are limited pool towels, and tend to run out by the afternoon. On our first pool visit, we spoke to 3 different staff members to get towels, and 1hr later realised that we'd gotten nowhere. Be prepared to walk back to your room wet. This happened twice on our trip! On the upside, breakfast was fine, and the rest of the staff were pleasant (although clueless)
