Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Wakaf Che Yeh, with easy access to local markets and dining options. The rooms, although smaller than expected, had some issues with stained and torn bedsheets. The service was friendly and helpful, with staff assisting with luggage all the way to the room. The dining experience was decent but not exceptional. Overall, a fairly good stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel's location is superb, just opposite the vibrant local night market, making it convenient for shopping and dining. The rooms, although overlooking a noisy indoor pool during events, are clean. The service is prompt, with staff willing to assist guests. The dining options offer a variety of local and international dishes, but more traditional desserts could enhance the experience.
The hotel offers a convenient location near the town and close to the night market. The spacious and comfortable rooms, along with friendly service and delicious breakfast, make it a suitable choice although the rooms facing the front of the hotel may appear tired.
I chose this property mainly for its excellent location next to Wakaf Che Yeh, making it convenient for shopping and close to various dining options. The rooms had some issues with stains and torn bedsheets, but the hotel's service, especially with luggage assistance, was convenient. The dining options were okay but limited, and the facilities were decent overall.
The hotel was packed with guests and offered fairly clean rooms but lacking in walking space, especially for 5 people in 2 rooms. The service was very good and friendly, yet there was an incident of guests entering the lift from the swimming pool without staff control. The location was strategic but limited time to explore. The dining experience was not very good with repetitive menus.
The hotel is situated near Wakaf Che Yeh, making it very strategic for our visit. The rooms are small as expected, with a slight issue of a moldy smell in the toilet. The location is perfect for those who want to avoid Kota Bharu city centre traffic jam and is just across from the well-known bazaar. However, there could be improvements in the variety and freshness of the food served.
I have just returned from a stay at this hotel, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The location is superb, near various eateries and local markets, but there were some issues with the room and service. The dining options were average, and the facilities were decent. It offers good value for money but has room for improvement in certain areas.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were comfy and even with a family of 4 with rambunctious kids next door, the noise was a bit disruptive. The shower soap and shampoo provided were a nice touch. While the service fell short when they couldn't give us a map of the city and the staff wasn't as friendly as shown in the photos, room service and laundry were convenient. The location was fairly good since it's around the night market, although hearing the snores from the next door could be bothersome. The dining experience was reasonable for walk-in customers, but more variety in traditional desserts could enhance it. The facilities were adequate, though not exceptional.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located near the KB Courthouse, RTC, and KB Mall, making it easy to explore the area. The spacious and comfortable rooms offered a cozy stay, complemented by the friendly service and delicious breakfast. While it was straightforward to find dining options nearby, the experience could have been enhanced with more breakfast choices. These positive factors were slightly dampened by the normal breakfast and small room size for the value.
The hotel is suitable for a small family, just like any budget hotel. The rooms are small with two beds and overlook the noisy indoor pool area. The service is a mix of rudeness and friendliness, with issues like smelly towels but a willingness to replace sheets. The location is convenient, surrounded by eateries but not facing the main road. Dining options are limited but suitable for children. Overall, an average stay with some drawbacks.
