When I was beginning my trip to Thailand, this is the kind of hotel I was yearned for. Something out of the ordinary that really made me felt like I lived in another country. Green Hill Resort nailed it.
For me it was an easy 10 minute walk from the pier. Once you get to the hotel, you better love stairs, because reception and the rooms are up them. I think my room was over 130 haphazardly placed steps up the side of a mountain. Check in was easy and the staff was nice. They even helped bring my bag up those stairs (props to him because his breathing made it seem like he was about to pass out). They sell tours and boat tickets at the front desk for a fair price (I did a long tail boat tour with snorkeling and then a ferry ride to Krabi). They even threw in a tasty free breakfast with that tour.
Room was nice once I got in. Spacious, great AC, nice view, and quiet given the hotel is away from the main area of Phi Phi. They also have a cat that roams the property who is very friendly. There were some flaws of course. The bed was harder than I would have liked though I slept great anyway. There was also a bird and lizard living in the wall near the ceiling. The lizard liked to come into my bathroom to say hi a couple times. Neither of these bothered me much.
Overall, if you want your stay in Phi Phi to be more of a story to tell, I would highly recommend staying here. If you want a typical hotel experience, might be worth going somewhere else.
