Axel's take: 6.9/10
Handy for Krabi Town’s markets, but bathroom smells undermine an otherwise practical budget stay. A simple 3-star hotel in Krabi Town, scored for what it is.
The Nice Hotel is a simple 3-star in Krabi Town, best treated as a practical base rather than a holiday resort. It’s a reasonable pick for a short, budget-minded stay: Expedia and Trip.com guests regularly praise clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and easy access to markets and inexpensive food. Recent feedback still includes satisfied guests, so the problems aren’t universal.
The main reservation is recurring sewage smells in bathrooms, reported across Expedia, Trip.com and Booking.com reviews reproduced by Planet of Hotels. Several guests also mention thin walls, while some describe windowless rooms or being moved elsewhere after arrival. Staff earn praise, but resolving problems appears less consistent. We’d skip it for a beach-focused holiday or if bathroom odors and noise would spoil your stay; confirm your exact room type before arrival.
