Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
My flight from KL early in morning, so i arrived at langkawi around 8am, i come to hotel and they allowed me to early check in at 9.30am. Thanks to one staff that very helpful, the room is same like in the picture, the pool is clean, location is near to beach at at strategic locations. Stay there for 3 night for solo vacations, they make up room well everyday and topup the toiletries and water bottle. Just only there’s one lift that can only fits 6 people so its might take time to wait for lift, and there’s very limited parking at back of hotel (2 or 3 car only) but never mind since im not using car. Some tv channels not available (medium quality channel)
I can give 4.5/5 since the price is worth, cleanliness also good, replace bedsheets, towel everyday, excellent location, easy to access

This was a ideal location to be set up for a three-night minibreak in Langkawi. Gorgeous seaviews over Pantai Cenang, air conditioning, and high-speed internet, plenty of bottled water provided, and comfortable bedding. Straightforward travelling to/from the airport, as well as day trips to Tanjung Rhu for mangrove tours, to Gunung Raya for a hike, or Kuah for dinner. Very much appreciated the friendly staff, and a special thank you to Dave for sorting an earlier check-in.

A simpler hotel with spacious rooms and proximity to both beach and restaurants Balcony facing street and beach, nice sunrises and sunsets just nearby. Many different breakfast places nearby and the noise of the street is addressed with earplugs. Affordable.

1 The person is super nice but the quality and especially the cleanliness of the room leaves me wanting even after having complained and having mentioned that I was on my honeymoon I was asked to pay more to have another room even despite having paid more expensive.. I left the hotel a day before and had to take another hotel at my expense.... I hope that a solution will at least be offered by the hotel for this inconvenience because I was very patient and that I did everything to be well but it was not possible for my wife who was also pregnant to stay in these conditions

This was absolutelly horrible hotel. I felt like in hostel, not like in resort. The elevator not worked for 2 days. The swimming pool is not working at all!! You cant use swimmingpool, because they told us they are ckeaning the pool. Haha thats not true, the pool was closed whole week and looked still same haha. The room was dirty, bathroom was disgusting. You hear everything from the outside and from other rooms and behind door, so you cant sleep. And the most horrible thing was that breakfast haha. Buffet breakfast was actually nothing. Only tousts, ommelets but you have to ask for it no fruit, no vegetables, nothing more. Just toust. Not even water for drink, only tea and coffe from powder. So never again. Oh and that bed was absolutelly hard! I never slept on harder bed. We had to left after two days and find another hotel.

The perfect place from which to explore Cenang Beach.
Very comfortable and spacious room and very affordable does not hurt your pocket but will give you all the basics things you need for a vacation. Plenty of fantastic eateries near the hotel just walking distance.
Friendly receptionist staff and fantastic housekeeper, they kept my room very very clean. I love how strategic this hotel is, just few steps from the beach and shops.
I will certainly be back <3

Located right across the street from the beach. The rooms were nice with a pool on the premises. The room door was slightly faulty and wouldn’t lock properly when closed. Like some 3-star hotels in Malaysia, you must pay a RM50 deposit.

We wanted to book budget affordable accommodation. The only requirements were clean with a nice view. We certainly got what we expected. In fact the view was even better. We booked 2 x Seaview rooms for my family. We were allocated on floor 3. So we had rooms facing the beach opposite each other. This was perfect with our older children.
The rooms are basic but is in line with what you pay for. The breakfast is basic but the view from up the top is amazing.
I recommend as long as you know what you’re paying for. It had hot water, clean and pretty comfortable. Definitely a room with a Seaview is the best choice. Very grateful they were able to allocate us next to each other on the same floor high enough to take in a beautiful view.
Location is excellent close to many restaurants.

Clean and spacious room, washroom was large with efficient waterheater. Bedding very comfortable, dark-out curtains, efficient and quiet aircon. TV worked o.k. but limited choice, wifi was very weak. Pleasant and attentive staff. No restaurant on premises. Breakfast for guests was available across the street and it was insufficient. Better food at lower prices is served by many warungs.

Hi.. I think they have space for parking but its small. But not able to park in given space you can park at back side as well. It's surrounded by many other hotels as well.
