JJ Residence

Overall this hotel was a good stay. The location was amazing and overall it was quiet from party atmosphere of the island even though it is also in the heart of the party area. The noise that was enduree was a result of the mechanical workings of the hotel adjacent and from the construction/renovation work around the area. Convenient to everything and walkable from the pier with a lot of belongings.

The hotel itself is quite nice and has a very nice pool. The only real downside to our visit was that they were doing construction involving lots of grinding metal and we were in the room right next to it all. This started at 8am everyday and the rooms are not soundproofed very well. Other than that, it was fine. Just very loud

Everything was great except that the room was quite dark and mosquitoes were getting in through bathroom. Location is central, everything is close. Nice swimming pool.

Told to pay more upon arrival as rate was wrong on their website. The searched on app whilst at Reception and showed same price again - all of sudden she didn't speak English Bang out of order - won't recommend to anyone.

Nice, right in the middle of everything but quiet. Book a poolside room, it's worth the extra money. The only downside that I see is that there is no ladder to climb back out of the pool at the room, might be an issue for someone that is older or out of shape. We enjoyed staying here.

My favorite hotel in Phi Phi. I came 1 night with a female companion and we stayed in the double on top floor. Was perfect. She left and I stayed on 5 more nights in the Single they offer (1000THB). Great AirCon. Only Negative >>> Wifi okay in some places not so good in others. Great sound proofing. Sea Views. Very kind host and staff.

Very nice place that really exceeded my expectations: ignore somewhat simplistic greeting lobby, as actual rooms are located in a separate new building: clean recently finished big rooms, balcony big enough to have a lunch there, swimming pool in case you're too lazy to walk to the sea. The only downside was: my balcony was facing a construction yard, probably neighbouring hotel under construction. Anyhow, I spent most of the time exploring the Phi Phi Don island, so I couldn't care less; and I still could have a meal at the balcony open air. Shame I had too little time there... gotta come back some time later!

After an awful night in another hotel of Phi Phi my parents spent a night there and enjoyed it - quiet hotel (no bars / loud music in the evening), rooms are ok. The location is central. It is cheap for Phi Phi.

Nice spot, very clean. Nice pools, close to pier and both beaches. Nice balcony with decent view. Bathrooms in some rooms need some maintenance and water pressure and temperature fluctuates, expensive but everything in phi phi is expensive. Very satisfied overall.

Horrible experience. Didn't tell us that there's a construction site just in front of our building. We were wokened up by construction workers at 8 am. Even we did asked for a "quiet room" from Agoda. Air-conditioning didn't work well. We had to volume it down to 16 degree Celsius to get keep us cool in the room Rude staff (or owner?) พูดคำว่า "เออ" กับลูกค้า เกิดมาไม่เคยพบเคยเห็น A clock and lamp is broken. The phone doesn't work but when we told them, they acted like it's normal since they were doing "a renovation". So we have to come down from our building to the front lobby or use a paid phone service to call them when we had a problem with the room/service. Unstable water temperature and volume. Broken remote control but fixed after we got down to ask them. Anyway, they're nice to let us check in before time. That's the only kindness of them.

Good location. But old toilet, old sheet bed and very old towels. Staff not nice at all.

We loved this place as it fit the description exactly - the staff were all super nice and it was great to have a little pool to dip your feet in right outside your room. I’d definitely stay here again!

Rooms are good

A really nice place in the middle of Phi Phi, easy access to both bays, nightlife and the pier. The rooms (although basic) were very nice and clean, including a soft bed, tv, fridge, air con and hot shower. Although small, the pool was refreshing (though could do with some seats around it). The hotel is great value and a good option for Phi Phi.

This almost never happens, but I found the room to be "better" than the pictures. Most of the pictures I've seen of these rooms are dark and yes, the rooms are a bit too dark with dark wood ceiling and dim lights, but I found it to be kind of romantic and the overall appearance to be nicer than what I had seen in the pictures I'd seen from the hotel, and thus better than what I had expected. I got 2 rooms of which both accessed the pool directly. I can't emphasize more how impressive this is to be able to look directing out into the pool and being able to walk out directly into the pool. I like staying at places with pools, but I never seem to get to the pool, but it was so easy to access the pool here that I found myself in it twice every day. Price: I've read some reviewers complain there are hotels near for less. I'm sure there are, but I doubt this nice. Maybe there are other nice hotels too in this price range, but do they have a room which directly accesses the pool? Probably not. The rates this hotel charges are reasonable. If you want cheap, get a cheaper hotel as Phi Phi has lots of crappy cheap hotels to select from. One thing about Phi Phi is you won't be spending much time inside your hotel so don't obsess over getting the best hotel. Depending upon what type of traveler you are, you may or may not be ok with a crappy cheap hotel either. I like nice, clean, modern, but reasonably priced hotels and this hotel fit that need to me perfectly. I'm not usually wanting to pay for the best, but not willing to stay in crap either. Everyone is different, but for me this hotel fit perfectly. Location: I'd been to Phi Phi a few times many years ago and it was much easier to find your way around then, but it's so dense now that it's confusing and difficult to find your way around the maze. Finding this hotel would have been very difficult, but they have staff waiting at the pier when the boats arrive with a sign for the hotel and they will take you to t

We stay in the hotel 3 nights. The staff was very friendly. The room was clean with all what you need equipt. The last day the allowed us to use after checking out the shower. not so good was the wireless in the room..was only working in the lobby ...all in all we had a very nice and comfortable period in JJ residence

Surprisingly nice place. I don't know if I lowered my expectations because this hotel is right in the middle of the main, and easy to reach, part of the island and what with lots of not so great backpacker establishments around I perhaps expected less. The room instead was immaculately clean and really new with wood paneled walls, good a/c , TV I never tried, tea and coffee facilities and double glazed doors which would keep any party noise out and being a pool access room a nice sized cooling pool directly outside. Only 200 metres from the ferry pier its easy to drag luggage to although to our surprise JJ often send someone to meet the various ferries when a few people are expected that day. Breakfast not included as they don't have a restaurant but there are at least a dozen places open for breakfast within 100 metres. Really good choice.

We have stayed at this hotel before in one of the pool access rooms & had booked again with family, we were really disappointed to be moved to a new hotel being built 2 minutes away down a back ally. The rooms were brand new, large, clean & had amazing views, however at night it was really scary walking back in the dark on your own, you had to walk past closed shops & peoples houses, very unusual & also disappointed to no be altogether with our group. We had booked on different bookings as we had different room types, we assumed that we would all be in the one hotel as booked. So be aware that you may not get the hotel as advertised. We made our bookings in March not last minute.

It's a nice place to stay. Not-near-pool block has a quite scary footpath via some kind of construction/garden site. Had east-facing windows, no beach nightlife sounds. Please note that reception opens only at 8am (not sure), so can be problems with earlier check out.

we loved staying at jj residence. they have nice clean rooms, nice clean pool the pool is awesome. great place to stay, it is away from the beach area which gets abit noisy at night. the staff at jj were friendly and they have 24 hours security. jj residence is a great place to stay, we will deffinatley be back.
