Yes, it’s the upper floor of a row of shophouses. Yes, it’s not a full fledged service hotel. Yes, the room is small. Yes, it’s far away from the attractions.

But it’s close to the airport and a short 8 mins drive to the popular tourist area, the Cenang beach. But it is a comfortable hotel I’ve stayed for more than four times over my annual sojourn to the island.

Why do I choose this hotel? I only wanted two most important amenities to be working in perfect condition - the aircond and the water heater. Apart from that comfy bed and clean. Service must be good, attentive. Also, a good spread of breakfast buffet. All these points are met.

Even after so many years, they’ve maintained their amenities in their best condition. My hats off to the management team. Great job!

I’ll return, next year, again.

The room stayed in was as describe.
Very comfortable hotel with extremely good WiFi connections.

It's a little far from the central attraction but very near to the airport.

All is good except for the breakfast. The eggs serve was a little off.

Other than that, it was good and highly recommended.

It was a strange time to travel to Langkawi , the place was deserted. I felt so sad for all the businesses that rely on the tourist trade.
The Smith House is fantastic, sure it's not in the tourist strip , but Grab is so cheap in Malaysia, so it cost very little to get anywhere.
The room while not huge, was modern , clean , and very comfortable. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud , with the linen , and pillows being impeccable. The food was a little hit and miss, with some of the meals being outstanding , and others tasting like mass produced frozen food.......This could of been a Covid related issue , with the lack of guests.
I find the best way rate a property is to answer one question , and that is, would you stay there again ??..............And for The Smith House , it is a resounding YES !!!
