Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is really nice, just 5 minutes from the ferry terminal and the center of Lumut, making it very convenient. However, some aspects like the dining experience with limited options and the uncomfortable balcony in the rooms were a bit of a letdown.
The hotel room was decent but overpriced for the quality in Malaysia. The service lacked attention to detail and the hotel was in need of refurbishment. However, the location was convenient for reaching the ferry terminal and Lumut's center.
I found the hotel to be very spacious for 2 kids and 2 adults, although our room wasn't ready until just before entering the lift. It was clean, spacious, and neat. The service was a mix of forgetfulness and helpfulness, with occasional poor communication. The location was excellent, offering easy access to various amenities, restaurants, and even a jetty to Pangkor Island. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with adequate food but also an issue with flies. Overall, the hotel provided a convenient stay with its strategic location and decent facilities.
The hotel is located in a convenient spot close to Lumut town, offering spacious and generally clean rooms. The service was exceptionally good, with friendly and helpful staff. The location provides a nice view and breeze, perfect for relaxation, but the noise emission can be a drawback. The dining options could be improved with a wider variety of choices. Overall, a value-for-money stay with festive decorations for Chinese New Year.
The hotel's location is fantastic, near the town and lumut jetty, offering easy access to food options and fishing spots. The rooms were nice, but the staff's unfriendliness when requesting towels was a downside. The dining experience fell slightly below expectations.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with a nice pool view and a strong internet connection, but they were mounted on the balcony wall, which made it noisy outside. Some rooms were dusty and emitted strong odors. The service was exceptional, with staff being super helpful and kind, even accommodating my specific breakfast time request. The location was good for relaxation as it was near the sea and a walking distance to the jetty and shopping areas, although a bit far from Lumut town. The dining options were limited and not very tasty, with repetitive dishes. However, the freshly made sandwiches were a highlight. The facilities were acceptable but not outstanding. Overall, the hotel had its positives and negatives worth considering.
The hotel room was spacious with a nice view of the sea and pool, but the price of RM230 seemed unjustified considering the standard of accommodation, food, and services. Despite that, the location was great being close to the beach and shopping area.
I was excited about the sea view room, but the noise on the balcony wall made it challenging to relax. The tired rooms definitely need a refresh, especially with the black mold in the bathroom. Waiting until late afternoon for fresh towels was a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not really prepared for check-in, with missing towels and TV remotes not functioning initially, but they did have a balcony to chill and view outside. The service was a bit of a hit and miss - some staff members were very friendly and helpful, while others were not so pleasant. The location was strategic near the night market and within walking distance to the jetty, but the overall appearance of the hotel could use a little makeover. Dining options were limited and the facilities were average.
The hotel offers a convenient location next to various amenities, but could use a little makeover. The rooms, although comfortable, need better lighting and updating. The dining experience is delightful with a variety of delicious options, yet improvements could be made. The service is prompt and friendly, catering to specific needs. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.
