The room was okay in terms of cleanliness. However, upon arrival, I was greeted by a trail of ants running through the room. This was easily remedied with a little mosquito repellent spray on the doors; they apparently didn't want to come in through the huge gap.
Unfortunately, the location is disastrous for light sleepers, as the local mosque is only about 50 meters away as the crow flies, and you are woken up loudly by the imam every single day between 5 and 5:30 a.m. To make matters worse, I had the misfortune of being placed on the second floor of the building facing the mosque, which amplified the noise level considerably, as there was virtually no soundproofing.
For solo travelers, it's worth noting that getting from the Village to Long Beach (where there's a bit more going on) is extremely complicated, as you always have to pay for two people when traveling solo. So you have to constantly ask around to see if you can hop on an already full boat.
The so-called ”boardwalk” to Long Beach has deteriorated into an extremely difficult-to-walk and overgrown 45-minute ”jungle walk” due to years of extreme weather and neglect by the residents. It's also not without its dangers, especially without proper footwear or in the dark.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
All in all, it's better to book accommodation directly on Long Beach until significant improvements are made in all areas.
The room is large, the bed is large, and there is a small balcony, that is, the hygiene is bad, spider webs and dust can be seen everywhere. I don't know what insects have bitten the milk powder on the floor... In addition to the health problem, the others are very good, the hotel is very large, there is a small playground, but the grass on the grass is withered. Dinner in the hotel's outdoor cafe to eat a set meal, cost-effective, taste good, buffet breakfast 15 MYR a person, coffee with sugar, difficult to swallow, but fortunately I brought coffee to make, children can eat some biscuits brought by themselves.
Nice place to pit stop on your way to Perhentian Islands. Easy access to good food at the mamak restaurant 2 doors away. And nice Chinese food adjacent to the hotel. All are reasonably priced.
Hotel is clean by most standards. Basic amenities provided like hangers, free wifi, towels, blankets. We took a big family room for 4 pax and slept comfortably.
