Beautiful setting. Great area. Clean room but so dark, horrible lighting. Beds were awful-like sleeping on box springs! People were lovely, food was good. The rooms were just too dark and way too uncomfortable

The worst of all

It was the worst experience i had in thailand. The room waa disgusting all information on here were not correct and pictures very misleading. The shower was broken and i tried all 4 nights to get it fixed. No care at all. Wall was coming of and mould everywhere. The fridge turned off when you left the room. Staff didnt speak english properly. You cant cancel because of the condition of the room. Its not worth it for the money. The owner was ignorant with zero understanding.

Pros: Located close to numerous restaurants and bars but far enough away that you didnt hear them from the room. Room is basic but comfortable enough. Very clean but could use a coat of paint. Good air conditioner in my room. Cons: No safe to store valuables. Thin walls, so noisy neighbours can be a problem. No way to turn off outside light and top row of windows don't have curtains so room is very light for sleeping.

The resort is on the east side on the beach which isn’t the swimming side. But the rooms and staff are amazing. They do have a free breakfast it’s very basic and could use some changing up a bit but otherwise it’s enough to get you by. Rooms were clean and updated. Comfy beds. Good distance to a lot of restaurants and shopping. Near the diamond Cave. The property’s pool could use some updating and cleaning up

It’s not a luxury hotel but offers a comfortable, clean room with a decent pool, good restaurant and extras (entertainment nights, massage spa, tour operator). Staff is very friendly. Good breakfast buffet. At a good price for the area, I’d definitely recommend!

The property was beautiful, I love the layout of all of the rooms, very well taken care of with greenery. The rooms were a standard room that you would see in Thailand with geckos and one cockroach in the room. No big deal. My only main concern would be the owner from the resort was quite rude, and after talking to a few other guests, I wasn’t the only one who had an encounter with him. This was my second time staying here, I would maybe consider staying on the future, but I don’t want to have to deal with him again :)

We had a great experience with the staff being friendly. Don't expect a super fancy hotel though. It was nice and had the basic amenities that we needed. The main down side is that it was a far walk from the pier with luggage and the hotel does not include pick up service.

You get what you pay for

It’s okay for a budget hotel. Basic room with a bed and private bathroom. WiFi didn’t work in the room and it wasn’t very comfortable. But once again, for the price you get what you pay for. It’s fine if you want to save money

Bad air conditioning and cockroaches

The air conditioning only had 1 setting which was freezing and exceptionally loud. There were cockroaches in the room/bathroom and they must have been in the ceiling too as they made a lot of noise in the night. Pool was mucky too.

Railay Viewpoint Hotel

Staff was really friendly and always helpful with Banh questions or requests. Room was constantly full of ants including the bed :( but it’s an island so you’re going to have some insect issues! Great prices for the accommodation, east side is just a short walk to anything. No supermarkets or bakeries in Railay so you can’t make your own food, just junk food from minimarts or restaurants, so that can add up quick!

The price of $54 for a standard A/C was pretty steep but , all in all the hotel wasn’t bad, area is pretty good for restaurants/stores etc. Having power go out twice was kind of frustrating also. Breakfast was awesome and the staff was great though!

Okay but didnt love it

We stayed during low season and the place was deserted but we were still put at the furthest building from the beach. The room was dirty and dated. Breakfast was small and not available at 7 as listed. That being said Railey East is an amazing area and Viewpoint is close to everything.

Cancelled my stay

We landed at Railay Beach which is at the west shore. The Viewpoint Resort is at the east shore. We had to walk with our bags for about one km across the island to get to the Viewpoint. It was very hot and humid and the path across the island goes thru some areas that smell like sewer. When we got to the east side it was low tide. There is no beach in the area where the Viewpoint is, just mangroves. I expected the resort to be on a beach and it is not. It has an OK pool. WiFi only in the area close to the reception, not in the bungalows. To go to a beach it is a 15 - 20 minutes walk. My friend and I had different rooms. Hers was very basic, more like for backpackers. Mine was a double room, better than hers but still very basic. I think there was only one towel in my room. You need to ask for towels at the reception when going to the pool or a beach. There is no safe in the rooms, only at the reception, and it is only available for limited time during the day. After a very disappointing first impression, we headed to the west shore and found vacancies at the Village, which is a much better resort. We tried to cancel our reservation at the Viewpoint but they refused and still charged me for the three nights I have reserved. Anyway, I took it as a sunk cost and moved to the Village and had a great time there.

Standard room is better than superior room

I stayed 1 week on standard and superior rooms. Superior room have twice the price over the standard room but had worse room condition. In addition, there were no distinct difference between standard and superior rooms (just a little bit roomy).

Avoid at all cost!!

There was a problem with check in also. They couldn't find my reservation even when I booked through Expedia and had my confirmation email to show them. Wasn't sure if they had a room for us to start with! Our room was dirty and disgusting. The bed sheets were stained, dirty and looked like they were not changed between multiple guests! The bathroom was moldy and dirty. Beds were not comfortable. We stripped the bed and slept on the "cleanest" sheet in the room and used our beach towel as blankets. For the price of the hotel, spend a little bit more and stay elsewhere or take a long tail back to Au Nang! Breakfast wasn't great!! Would never stay here again!
