Advantages & Flaws

  • +
    The location on Jalan Doktor places Siti Khadijah Market, Istana Jahar, the Kelantan State Museum and the Handicraft Village within a short walk. Travellers can explore the cultural centre of Kota Bharu without taxis.
  • +
    Prices are low even for Malaysia, making it a popular choice for budget travellers and those stopping overnight on the way to the Perhentian Islands. Travel guides have described it as one of the best budget options in the city.
  • +
    Rooms are modern and practical, with queen beds, mini fridge and air conditioning. The design feels fresher than many older budget hotels in town.
  • +
    The airport is only around fifteen minutes away, which is convenient for early flights to Kuala Lumpur. Late arrivals also reach the hotel quickly.
  • -
    As a small two star hotel, facilities are minimal, with no restaurant, pool or gym. Breakfast is not a standard feature, so guests eat in the many cafés nearby.
  • -
    Rooms facing the street can hear traffic and activity from the busy city centre, and events in the banquet hall may add noise on some evenings. Light sleepers should request a quieter room.
