Blood stained sheets that you have to ask twice to be changed, shower that doesn’t regulate its temperature (so you’ll be freezing and burning within 10 seconds) and meat cooked on the same pan as vegan/vegetarian food - with no cleaning in between! Absolutely would never visit again. The only upside this hotel has is its location.

Everyone was friendly, staff were very helpful and always acknowledged you, even the young man cleaning the pool in the morning had a smile on his face! The bed was a little hard, but I am one for a soft mattress.

We didn't like how to AC/Electricity could only be in use if a room key was inserted in the slot. That being said, every time we returned to our room in took a bit for it to cool down and it was always muggy upon entering.

It was in a good location. Very safe and several food options right across the street. The staff was very nice and quick to help. If you get a chance go up and check out the roof top pool. It's a cool view.

Size of the beds and cleanliness of the room was a big, big plus. Reception staff were incredibly helpful their English is very good too. Only a couple of comments which are in no way complaints. The rooftop pool needs to be renovated and is a bit dated. And the room (No. 3407), only thing was the plug in the shower must be clogged as the drainage was poor, and the generator on the balcony pumped out very hot air so it wasn’t possible to stay out there too long.

Our stay at Chanalai was great! Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Any problems were dealt with straight away. Karon Beach was only 5mins away from the hotel which was great. There is shops right outside the hotel and restaurants also if i need to do activities there is a lady with great prices with very good activities to do. They had a rooftop pool which was lovely to see the sunset. In general the hotel was very clean however they did sometimes forget to give towels etc. Overall was a good stay and would recommend others to try Chanalai Hillside.
