Axel's take: 7.5/10
Good room space and a pool, but housekeeping needs more consistency. A simple 3-star budget hotel outside central Krabi Town, scored for what it is.
Thip Thip is a simple 3-star budget hotel outside central Krabi Town, worth considering for spacious rooms rather than a polished hotel experience. Booking.com and Trip.com guests frequently praise room size, comfortable beds and the outdoor pool; Expedia reviews also highlight clean, large bedrooms. It's a reasonable pick for a short stopover or travelers happy to arrange transport into town.
The caveat is consistency. Several Trip.com guests staying in late 2025 and spring 2026 describe stained or worn bedding and towels, with some needing to request cleaning. Pool feedback is mostly positive, although an April 2026 Expedia guest reported dirty water. Expedia also lists no elevator and no check-in after 8 p.m. We'd skip it for a beach holiday, dependable daily housekeeping or a late arrival.
