City Hotel Krabi Information

City Hotel, as its name suggests, is bang in the middle of Krabi Town centre, directly opposite the excellent night market and around the corner from the river and the main shopping drag. It is also conveniently located for local transport to the beach areas of Ao Nang, Nopparat and Klong Muang. Whereas its location used to be its only selling point, the once-grubby City Hotel has recently received a much-needed revamp with an attractive, glass-fronted lobby and a whole new wing of smart-ish rooms. These are the only rooms we recommend here; there are fan-only standard rooms in the old part of the building, but, when we went to visit, the corridor was so dark, we didn't dare venture down it! The new building is the 'day' to its 'night', however. City Hotel is a key landmark in the hustle and bustle of Krabi Town; if you would like to feel part of local life, yet stay in comfort, this is the place for you. It also has the advantage of most hotels in town: no seasonal fluctuation in price - except over the two major New Year festivals.
