Beautiful views, not so nice hotel
We stayed there one night (of our 5 night trip in Thailand) and it was our worst, but most expensive night. Where do I begin..... There were bugs on the floor, the AC took hours to cool the room, there was absolutely no water pressure for a shower, the provided shampoo/soaps were half used, half of the plug-ins didn't work, the bed was old and uncomfortable! Such a disappointment, wouldn't recommend it to anyone for the cost!

Find somewhere closer and cheaper, not the best.
Clean budget hotel.... Location pretty poor a good 20 mins walk into Had Rin were all restaurants and bar/beach is, a lot of hills aswel with a seven eleven half way. Beach was 20yards away but tide was always out so shall rocks pools so couldn't get near the sea without protective footwear on. Owner was nice and helped us wen asked but rooms weren't cleaned in three days although we didn't ask. Bathroom/shower was poor. No noise at night tho and air con was very good. Overall better cheaper places closer to the beach and party If your heading there. Making sure u fist rock cafe at end of the beach on your right. Found it on last night massive and I mean massive menu with so much choice and very cheap! Have a hotel aswel.

Only stayed here for the full moon do not stay
We stayed here only for the full moon it was a minimum three night stay and it was two days too many. The room is very basic the air con is awful and the bed feels dirty. As we walked in there was bugs everywhere, the shower dribbled and was salt water from the sea so my hair never felt clean. The beach is really nice but stony as you walk in and the sunchairs are very uncomfortable. We stayed out of this hotel as much as possible as it was horrible!

No frills hotel with nice own beach
Stayes at the hotel for 3 nights (deluxe room), but decided to move on for something more authentic. The hotel was ok, but a bit "too concrete" for us. A bit like a mass Mediterranean hotel built in the 80s. Staff is friendly, however a 1000 THB or passport deposit is requested immediately upon check-in as a key deposit (saying we will lose it), unique policy given that we've payed everything in advance.

Appalling dump
The hotel is something out of the 1930's in a bad way. It's falling to bits , rooms are damp and not properly cleaned ever, tv doesn't work. It's not that well located for had rin town - it's a 20 walk and no taxis are easily found either way. Price was unbelievably high as we were persuaded to book before going due to full moon party - big mistake. This place obviously preys and only operates when people feel there are no options. Believe me we went at high season and there were proper hotels and rooms available for the night of FMP at half the price of this dreadful place. We moved there and were so glad to get out of it. This should not be in a reputable site to book

Great view of the sea and the hotel is right on the beach. The room itself was OK, but the bathroom though clean was disappointing - no room to move. I paid for a deluxe room but I have to wonder what made it deluxe. At the time I stayed, other hotels nearby offered better value.

We arrived late night to the hotel and received superior room which was very bad quality. During that night, we change 2 more rooms, until we got something that is reasonable. The Sea view is above all, and waking up just looking the sea, you forgot everything.

Great customer service!
My friend and I stayed here for two nights a week after the Full Moon Party. The island as a whole was very quiet, but this hotel was in a very quiet and peaceful location away from the main party area in Haad Rin. However, it was only a 10-15 minute walk to Haad Rin so we were able to spend time there without being right in the middle of all the madness. The staff was unbelievably nice and even drove me into town to get tickets for a cruise that we wanted to go on. The room was basic, with two beds, a balcony and a clean bathroom. The AC was very strong and definitely kept us cool in the hot weather. I would definitely reccommend this hotel and I would stay here again if I went back to Koh Phangan.

Excellent Value
I booked the Thaniza after reading a bunch of different revues. I wanted to be close to Haad Rin without being right in town because of the noise factor and this ended up being perfect. Its a 10 minute walk on the beach into town, maybe 15 to sunrise beach. Its 100 baht taxi ride back in the morning after partying it up in town. The staff are incredibly friendly and nice as other reviewers have mentioned. I really felt welcome there. The food is great and well priced in the restaurant and the beach ends up being practically a private beach. There's a pool just down the beach that's open to the public if you want a beach, Coral something or other, has a monthly huge beach party. If I go back to Koh Phangan I'm going to stay here again.

Amazingly helpful staff who would do anything when I had a scooter accident. They were incredible. The restaurant was also brilliant in that they would start cooking us things even when they were meant to be shut. If I had to criticise at all in the 5 days we were there on one occasion when we asked them to clean the room it did not happen all day bug this was not really a big issue.

This is NOT a resort. The staff are nice enough, but the rooms are very basic and for what you can get in say Ko Samui represent very bad value for money. Maybe this was because we stayed over New Years, but still very poor value ant anything more than 20 pounds a night

Lovely staff and cute hotel
1st impressions were its tiny and as it didn't have a pool we were in two minds...BUT do not let the fact it has no pool put you off as it has its own little beach area with sun beds, which was cleaned and raked every morning. We were greeted by a very friendly woman, who over the 7 days we stayed could not have been more polite and helpful. The hotel is run by a family who all made you feel so welcome and didn't hesitate once if you needed help with something. The place has just been taken over so it was in the middle of being changed about, although this didn't affect our stay at all. The rooms are slightly dated, but they are clean with air con and hot shower. We stayed in the deluxe which was plenty big enough and had a beautiful view. The town is only a 15 min walk (beach or road) with the option to get a taxibus for 50bht each. The food in the evening was average price but not average quality, the food was lovely and well prepared every time. Our last day we had to be up at 5.30am and the woman who first greeted us got out of bed to make us some breakfast (breakfast didn't open till 8 so she was still in pjs!). We also had to go stand outside hotel in hope to grab a taxi to the pier, the man (who we assume was her partner) kindly ran to get his moped and was willing to drive to find us a taxi. The staff made our stay at Thaniza excellent and we would highly recommend this hotel to other people. If we return to Phangan in the future we would definitely stay there again.

No realmente recomendable... hay mejores opciones
Llegamos a este hotek pues las Fotos de veian bien junto a la playa con hab privada y cerca de la full moon party. Desgraciadamenet no fue de nuestro agrado el hotel ya que las habitaciones son algo Viejas, no sirve la tv ni se regula la temperatura del agua. Las toallas que te proporcionan son viejas y rotas y el aire acondicionado tampoco se regula la temperatura. La playa es linda y tiene bonita vista, para llegar a HaadRin son comom15 min caminando por la playa. Al final quisimos cancelar lansegunda reserva que teniamos y el personal de recepcion nos dijo que nos harian el reembolso, pero despues segun el personal de expedia les dijeron que no lo autorizaron. Ha sido bastante dificil la comunicacion para resolver esta reservacion. En fin.. nos movimos a un hostel a lado que no es hab privada pero es mucho mas agradable y mejores instalaciones, por un precio parecido.

素朴なホテル
友人と2人でフルムーンパーティーの為に予約しました。 私たちが予約する時にすでにどこもいっぱいでしたが、タニザビーチリゾートを発見しました。 繁華街からは、歩きでも行けますが乗り合いバスが通るのでそれでも行けます。 徒歩5分位にコンビニやカフェなどもあり特に困る事はなかったです。 お部屋は、小学生や中学生の時に泊りがけで行く行事で泊まるようなホテルです。 豪華な感じではなく、民宿に近い感じです。 ホテルを満喫したい方には不向きかもしれません。 ベッドが２つ、テーブルに椅子がありとてもシンプルなお部屋です。 バルコニーが広く、気持ちよかったです。 私たちは2泊したのですが、寝るだけだったので不便は感じませんでした。 エアコンがありますが、調整がきかないのとドライヤーがなかったので女子旅には不便でした。 ホテルの下にある、ブランコが気持ちよくてお気に入りです。 いつもは、リゾート感が強いホテルに泊まる事が多いですがたまには素朴な感じでいいなと思いました。 スタッフの方はすごく親切で、いつも笑顔でとても感じがよかったです。

Un sitio correcto aunque alejado.
El hotel en sí no está del todo mal. Está situado a pie de playa pero a 15 minutos andando del centro y la playa de la Full Moon, que aunque parece poco tiempo, si quieres ir y volver y volver a ir en el mismo día se acaba haciendo pesado, sobre todo si vuelves de noche a oscuras. Las habitaciones son amplias, con una terraza amplia. La mía tenía el suelo lleno de hormigas y la cobertura wifi a veces era desesperante. Un punto muy negativo es que yo me alojaba por un precio durante 3 días y el día previo a la Full Moon y el día de la Full Moon querían cuadriplicarse el precio. Obviamente me busqué un sitio mejor y más barato y más cerca de la playa de la Full Moon.

Cet hotel certes acceptable pour bas bas budget est au dessus du prix pour son niveau. Le mobilier est spartiate , vieillot et pas de rideau occultant la lumiere , et en plus loin de tout , donc si vous ne souhaitez pas prendre votre petit dejeuner au restaurant de l hotel , ce sera 1km plus loin ... Point positif sur plage trés belle et personnel sympa. En un mot parfait pour "routard fauché" sinon je n y retournerais pas.

Das Personal war sehr nett. Wir waren in der Nebensaison, daher war das Zimmer unschlagbar günstig. Wenn man sich einen Roller mietet ist die Lage super. In fünf Minuten kann man zur Party Lokation fahren und sonst liegt das Hotel direkt am Meer. Allerdings kann man da nicht wirklich baden. Diese Seite von der Insel ist sehr schmutzig und wir sind dann auch immer mit dem Roller zu den schöneren Stränden gefahren.

Vi booket hotellrom for to netter for å få med oss fullmånefesten. Hotellet ligger ikke så langt ifra "sentrum", men måtte ta taxi allikevel. Standarden på hotellet var enkel, men grei.

Luktet mugg og sopp
Når man kommer inn på rommet virket det ved første øyekast helt greit, men man forstår etter hvert at det er en veldig god grunn til at det ble luftet ved ankomst. Vi oppdaget en helt forferdelig vond lukt fra badet på rommet, som gjorde det så godt som uutholdelig for oss å være der. Strendene egner seg svært seg svært dårlig til bading i og med at de er langgrunne og fulle av søppel. Dra gjerne til Ko Panjang for en fest, men både Ko Tao og Ko Samui er bedre alternativer for alt annet.

Mycket trevligt hotell
Rummet var stort och luftigt, rent och fint. Mycket trevlig personal med fantastisk service! Bra restaurang med god mat. Om man ska till Full Moon Party-området får man promenera 10-15 minuter och där hittar man 7eleven och butiker och restauranger. Det tyckte vi var perfekt då vi föredrog lugnt läge. På hotels.com står det att hotellet tar visa-kort. De tar inga betalkort över huvudtaget, bara kontanter tyvärr. Vi hade en incident med bankomaten som låg på andra sidan vägen. När vi tog ut 5000kr blev det elavbrott precis när pengarna skulle rulla ut, så vi fick inga pengar men det drogs på kontot. Hotellet var så proffsiga och hjälpte mig ringa banken och köra mig till en bank. De räddade mig verkligen i nöden, helt otroligt bra personal!

Vi flyttade faktiskt härifrån efter en natt..
Ok, jag ska ärligt säga såhär: vi betalade 134 kr natten så egentligen bör man inte förvänta sig mycket. Men bilderna talade för fina rum med ett bra läge och en fin, egen strand. Vi bodde i ett superiorrum, som inte alls va superior. Smutsigt betonggolv, söndrig ac och dusch, ingen safebox, och framför allt väldigt lyhört. Stranden som såg så fin ut på bild, var smutsig och stenig, och havet just här väldigt skitigt och grumligt. Frukosten var väldigt sparsam. Jag är övertygad om att någon som reser på en tight budget skulle tycka detta var ok, men det gjorde inte vi. Framför allt uppfattade vi infon och kartan på hotels.com missvisande- det var inte 700 m till haad rin och stan, utan du fick ta en taxi in och ut till stan då det tog 25 min att promenera och hotellets omnejd var inte den tryggaste. Vi reste med vänner och de valde också att flytta då de också var rejält besvikna. Kontentan och det vi lärde oss är den trogna klyschan, "du får vad du betalar för."
