“cute and cosy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011

i and my officemate checked into the Desa Motel in Langkawi earlier this month and found the place to be small and cosy. Its owner was a very friendly affable gentleman who also happens to live in one of the units (total of 8 units). As it was the fasting month, there were no other guests at first but the homely ambience put us at ease. There are beautiful plants planted and cared for lovingly in the centre of the area, dividing the units into 4 apiece. Its very near to Pantai Cenang which is a hub of activity but far enough to ensure peace and quiet. The room itself is basic but has a decent shower and heater. However for the price we paid, it was good value for money. The towels could do with some improvement and there's no breakfast provided but as it was within walking distance to Pantai Cenang, it was not a problem. The beach nearby is more secluded and peaceful. I would recommend Desa Motel for its quiet ambience, unpretentiousness, good value for budget travellers and its homey surroundings.

This is a small Malay style motel.I love this place.The room in large enough,with a foyer type area and a front veranda.Hot water,aircon,its hard to believe this is 4 years opkld,still very good and very clean.The owner,Yussef is a friewndly guy,i said the only thing i miss is an electrixc kettle fdor coffee,it was delivered to my roopm in minutes.The landscaped gardens are a shangri -la,beautifully set out and maintained.Location is good,5 mins walk to beach and restaurants,also an internet cafe at front,laundry at front as well,Yussef tells me wi fi is on.Rates are vbery reasonable for what you get here.If you want a 5 star reasort,you need to go elsewhere,only 9 rooms here,but very nice.

“great value of money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

it's at the side of a main road, walking distance to Pantai Tengah and Pantai Cenang, and all those famous restaurants. Clean, air-coned, TV, refregirator, and free parking, plus there's internet bar just at the entrance of the motel. Although we had some unhappy episode at the first night there, Yusuff, the owner, found us somewhere to say at least, and that was a hotel at the beach. We like Desa more coz it's quiter. A good sleep is very important after a full day sight seeing, water sports and driving.

A suggestion to the owner: credit is essential to a business owner, a room booking means you MUST space a room for the guest, especially when the guest has paid for that booking. If the previous guest doesn't want to leave, THEY should be the one to be sent to other hotels.

Room Tip: better checking in as earlier as you can to ensure a room. I mean to put your luggages into the room...
