Great for a budget hotel

Review of Rimba Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Apr 2017
Stayed here for one night before heading to Merang Jetty on the following day. For your information, the ferries in Merang Jetty could take you to Lang Tengah, Redang Island and Pulau Perhentian. Distance from the hotel to Merang Jetty was approx. 30 mins.

Pros
Check-in was prompt
Staff was friendly
Room was clean and comfortable albeit it being small
Good air-conditioning
It's less than 5 minutes walking distance to Giant supermarket.

Cons
There's nothing much I can't fault this hotel. The only thing I could point out was the corridor area. It felt pretty humid.

A good stay for a lower price hotel. We stayed for 2 nights for RM99 per night. Bed is comfortable with powerful air cond. Though it small, but I think its enough for us two. Its near to Sultan mahmud airport and Giant Hypermarket. Located at developing area, I think more to come in the near future. Got a bistro at the ground floor, food is nice, but little bit pricey. 15 minutes to the heart of Kuala Terengganu by car.

Its a good stay, and will stay again if I went to KT in the near future.

I stay here because my sister booked this hotel for our family short gateway. I didn't expect anything just hope for comfortable room and good night at least. We arrived around 10 - 11pm and get a good service from the receptionist. We have a good night as we wish, there's a lift but do expect a very small room.

A really new hotel with ample parking space in front. As mentioned above, the room is too small as there is only 1 way for you to walk from the door, passing the washroom, reach the TV and the bed. And I have to put my luggage as well. The pillow causes neck pain after only a few minutes sleeping on it and I discover stained bed cover which remains there even after I asked them to make up my room. The water heater is non-functional in my room. Have to bathe in cold water early in the morning - 'really refreshing'. The TV channels include most local channels but can't find 8TV. National Geo and Fox movie channels are too blurry to watch. Giant Hypermarket and Mydin are nearby the hotel.

I booked this hotel via phone and have to book twice to get the room because the first receptionist did not place it in the system. We finally got the room and its clean because its new. Small size room, its a budget hotel. The aircond is loud and irritating.

The staff was rude when I ask for extra pillow. She just turn her back to me without answering my question which I repeatedly asking for extra pillow. Just one extra pillow. She refuse to provide me with the extra pillow which is unacceptable or at least be polite to the guest. Anyway, the pillow that is readily available in the room is hard. Did not regret not getting it but disappointed with the service of the staff.

There are more budget hotel available in Kuala Terengganu, choose wisely.
Wish the staff are trained well in the future. Will not return again.
