We were here in July, not the best season of course. Everything in the room felt very humid, the sheet on the bed felt clammy and a number of them had old stains. Bathroom very outdated. This must have been a place where the hippies used to gather in the 70's. It was nice to have the bar, a place... More

During the last 4 years, our family have stayed several times at this guesthouse. The perfect place for us. Quiet surroundings but still only 2 km's from the Ao Nang beach and all the action. Easy transportation with the songthaews passing right outside the hotel every five or ten minutes. Very kind and helpful staff will help you with all... More

Clean rooms, but not vert Nice. The bed was horrible. OK location, but not the best. About 2km from town. Quite place, no noise at night. The staff was friendly, but not so good at speaking english. I would rather stay somewhere else next time in Ao Nang.

Hanna G. Thank you for the review. The mattresses has been changed - I agree, there has been a problem with them in some of the rooms, but it's cleared now. We always have at least one English speaking person in our reception. Kitchen- and cleaning staff generally do not speak English. More

Hi Christian Thank you for your review, even if you never stayed at our hotel. I suppose that your friend supplied you with the information about the rooms , sleeping quality, and more, things that you yourself could not possibly know about, but I don't know. At least he seemed very happy when staying here. As you mentioned. A good... More

Dear Elizabeth. Discount 35 %. You get what you pay for. Price for your a/c room was 715 THB only, in high season As you mention all matresses are brand new. Location close to everything but still in a quiet area of Ao Nang. We are a B&B guest house and therefore the dining- and menu is limited. We serve... More

Stayed here for one night only, since we wanted a break from Ao Nang, and hoped that their "Scandinavian style" beds would treat our backs better than the rather hard Thai-style beds. That was a mistake. The place it self isnt that bad, I liked it, actually, but the beds was a disaster. Hard, firm mattresses, and they were still... More

Scandinavian Residence is a Thailand based Bed & Breakfast guesthouse.

Thanks for your review. But what took you nearly 9 months to file your disappointment as you could have done it directly to me (I am availabel 24/7 in the high season) and your problem would have been solved directly. The housekeeper attending your room clearly was not aware of the complimentary fruit thing. I must say, that personally I... More
