Detailed Reviews
This is a middle size hotel. Room is good with comfortable beds. But there is no hot water in the bathroom. They tried to fix the problem but since this system is working on solar power we got look warm water. All other facilities seems okay.

This is a budget hotel and newly renovated. We stayed for a night after we got back from our Redang Island trip. The location of this hotel is good. The rooms are newly renovated but the bathroom in the room which we stayed was smelly. We asked the housekeeping to do something with it and they put some fragrance but it didn't last long. The front desk staffs were friendly.
Our room was a Standard Room with room rate of RM148/night. We booked on-line and the photos on their website looks spacey but it wasn't in reality. Really cramped out for a family of three but sleeping quality is good.
The hotel also served ala-carte breakfast for free and the meals were okay. Other facilities includes wifi but the signal may not be that good depends on the room. Spa is also available but next to a few blocks.
A good budget stay but I think there are more better choices than this hotel for that price.

Stay here in my last business trip to Kuala Terengganu. The design of the room is good. Most important is the bed. Very comfortable and can have longer deep sleep.
China town is very near and can have some local food there.

Positive site- Frankly can't think of any except the room comes with drinking water dispenser rather than bottle water given.
Need for improvement- Room condition can see have been run down sometimes. Poor wifi that appear to be no network intermittently. the cup with the saucer appear do not clean properly. Receptionist not informative enough.
The hotel is pretty distance away from Chinatown and Duyong Island. But walking distance to the beach area.

Dear Mr. DaveChoong, First of all, thank you for choosing to stayed with us during your traveled. We are very appreciated of your comments and for your information, we are on our way to refurbish hotel rooms from time to time. Unfortunately, we can't refurbish all of our rooms at the same time. If we do so, we don't have a business and can't earn income to maintain our rooms :) So, we need to do it one by one and of course it will take a time. We are very happy if you and all of our guest understand about it because we are strive to give the best services to all of our guest. All of your comments we accepted and we will take necessary actions on it. Last but not least, we hope you will come again to our hotel and give us a chance to serve you better next time. Thank you for your support.

Apart from its location being pretty central and surrounded by good restaurants, the hotel itself wasn't one to be excited about. The cleanliness was unfortunately below average which made our stay pretty unpleasant. Stains on the dtessing table and the toilets, no tissues provided (only toilet paper), soap and shampoo had an odd smell, towels had stains. Also not too keen on the idea of being provided with the drinking water dispenser instead of bottled water as we're unsure how clean/long it has been in there.
Not a very pleasant experience.

The price of the hotel is quite expensive for an accommodation like this. The rooms are alright. Cleanliness is about average and the size of the hotel room is small. There were no breakfast included and you have to actually pay extra if you would want breakfast. Parking is fine, there are quite a number of spaces behind the hotel which is free for guests.

I stayed here for 1 night over the weekend. It was an unexpected stay in Kuala Terengganu as we were visiting someone in the hospital. I stayed with my husband and 2 small children. We decided on this hotel as it was very close to the beach and hospital.
Its situated in a renovated shop lot, so you do get restaurant and convenience stores nearby. They also have their own parking lot out back so it makes it easier rather than parking at the curb.
Pros
The receptionist was friendly over the phone and in person.
He accomodated our request for very late check in and the check in process went smoothly
Bed was soft and comfy and the air conditioning was working well, so my night was not too bad.
Hot water was working and they had a mineral water dispenser in the room.
Cons
However, the toilet seat in my room was dirty. Which to me is totally unacceptable! This is not a public toilet! To come to your own hotel room and be greeted with a dirty toilet seat totally spoilt my mood.
And there were lizard droppings at the corner of the washroom that again, made for a very distasteful stay. Esp considering I had small children with me.
All in all, it wasnt my worse hotel experience, and we only stayed overnight for about 8 hours so it was bearable but I definitely would not recommend the place.
Maybe if management put a little more effort on cleanliness the place would be better, but as it is, it was a little of a let down.
