Located in Ao Nang Beach and with Nopparat Thara Beach reachable within 600 metres, Hangover Aonang provides a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is around less than 1 km from Ao Nang Beach, 2.5 km from Pai Plong Beach and 1.5 km from Ao Nang Krabi Boxing Stadium. Wat Kaew Korawaram is 17 km away and Thara Park is 18 km from the hostel.

The location is a few minutes walk from the main area and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, but the hostel itself is quiet. The staff itself were very helpful when we decided to stay a couple more nights, and helped us with transport. The rooms and bed are clean and comfortable, you get a full privacy/light block curtain, a locker, bottle of water, and the sheets are very clean. There are plenty of toilets and showers so I never had to wait, and everything is rather clean. Great value for money. There is a chill common area downstairs that you can sit at, play some pool.... There is a laundromat RIGHT next to the hostel so it's very convenient to do your laundry there. I'd definitely come back when going to Ao Nang.

Chloe is one of the staff members that guide these group tours and activities, she did an excellent job, is very helpful and take care of you. Thank you Nomads for these unforgettable memories!

    Very family-feel - family style (included!) dinner and also sociable hostel so lots going on, activities in the evening meant that you could get involved and meet others from the hostel very easily. Nice that you had the option to party or stay in and could sleep as it was a quiet zone after 11pm. Also is in a great location! Wristbands with money and door access were a very good idea. Hosts were lovely to look out for safety on nights out as partnership with the club you go to

    Fantastic place to stay as a backpacker. Felt like a luxury stay after a few weeks in hostels. The small private bungalows are a great place to unwind in a secluded little resort. The owner is absolutely wonderful and very welcoming. The pool is a great bonus and offers a lovely place to relax. Can easily walk to the beach, nighmarket, and several 711's. Would recommend to any backpacker who is still on a budget but looking for something more luxe than a hostel for a while. 10/10 would recommend.

Very fair and cheap prices on everything and they can also arrange everything you need like scooter, laundry, tours, transfers, food... The free Bar Crawl was the best!

    Super convenient Great location, right in the middle of Ao nang market, loads of restaurants around and beach only 300 metres away Cute little rooftop pool The best part is they’re making an effort to be environment friendly by providing water cooler with refillable water bottles, cotton buds and shower caps in paper covers. Good for backpackers who are also looking for a cute little stay for a cheap price!

    Budget room met expectations - the room is simple, no frills but it is clean, has aircon and is a great location to town/the beach, resturants etc are very close. Check in was easy and the owner was helpful. There was a fridge too which was helpful. Great for a short cheap stay.

    Definitely one of the best Hostels I have stayed so far while travelling! Perfect for backpackers and especially for solo travellers. They do organise daily tours for cheap price, free night events like bar crawls and it's so easy to find new friends here and talk to other Backpackers. Nothing to complain about the rooms or cleanliness as well! They're doing a awesome job here and take care of you like a part of their family! Will definitely come back!

    Cheap and cheerful, this place is the ideal hostel for backpackers. Somchai is an excellent host and keeps a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. There are plenty of activities to do in Krabi and ao nang is the perfect stop on the way to railay beach. Would highly recommend (and have been) this place to anyone wishing to visit the area on a budget!
