Great location. That is probably the best description I can give to this hotel. Situated at the rear right corner (if you are facing the sea) of downtown Kuah, it is perfect if your main reason for visiting Langkawi is shopping, which I am not. I chose this Hotel because it is very close to where my work is, and I want to try something other than a budget hotel.
It is quite expensive, RM 250 for a deluxe room facing the bay at off peak season. The room itself is very spacious, clean, but the carpet emits a strong lingering musty smell when I first enter. It has a large wardrobe, a cupboard, complete ironing kit, hairdryer, a small fridge, coffee/tea making apparatus, prayer mats, LCD TV and my favorite, the light switch/alarm clock remote controller on the side-table. The bathroom is very big, nicely designed, and there are both bathtub and glass shower room in it. The only thing missing are the tap and water hose next to the toilet. With all that I guess the room might be worth the price? Maybe.
Breakfast is included, there are various choices however, I find the main dishes quite bland. The gym on the third floor is free for hotel guest with a couple of treadmill, a pair of bikes, a duo of cross-trainers, some weights and a multi-gym. There's also a sauna, steam room and a spa, and a large pool on the fourth floor but I didn't try any of them. The staffs are nice and helpful. And finally, the best thing is, there is a taxi station right in front of the hotel.
Stayed for one night. Travel alone.
