one option close to airport
Not a hotel to say anything exciting about. It’s ok if you’re looking for a place closer to the airport. TV was not working, internet disappointing, no breakfast on one day, the next day they had no jam for the toast, pool was very busy.
Rooms are ok though.
It was okay. Staff were professional but seems as if they're in mourning whenever I appeared. Conversations just stopped, etc. It's the hospitality industry. You might have to talk with people who don't look like you. Sorry. Rooms were fairly clean. The thing about the tourist tax and deposit was annoying. They only accept cash but there's no ATM in the lobby. I already paid online but I have to make a cash deposit and such. I asked for another towel because I had to use one for the floor and the other had fallen. They charged me 10 ringgit cash and did not return it upon check out. Why am I being charged for a towel that I am not going to keep?Modern aesthetic but it's pretty scuffed up. Carpeted corners have plenty of dust. Pool was running and seemed clean. Café/Restaurant was clean. Food was fresh and reasonably priced. It an okay hotel.
Firstly, if you read that this hotel has a free shuttle from the airport, don’t believe it (like I did before I booked based on it). There is no shuttle and this is false advertising. Secondly, if you write to them via Expedía, other than them telling you there is no shuttle, you won’t get any response to questions about taxis or any other forms of transport to get there. I tried three times with no reply. My advice is to download the Grab app (I read they took over Uber here) then use it with airport wifi when you arrive. I did and it worked perfectly (and the fare is about US$1 so a good tip in cash is well in order).
As for the hotel itself, the rooms are clean and modern so don’t be put off by the corridors to them. The pool area on the roof is quite nice (although the bar there is closed since covid) but there is nowhere to sit and if just one family with kids is there it’s not really worth staying around other than just to dip. I didn’t get to sample the breakfast as my flight (at 8.30am so not ridiculously early) meant I had to leave before it commenced. All in all, if you need a hotel for one night to make a connection next morning, this place will certainly do the trick.
Staff unhelpful - no luggage help for older couple.
Cafe closed on arrival; we were given the impression that it was closed permanently but we were surprised to find it open when checking-out without breakfast!
Corridors smelt musty.
So unfriendly and no information. Pool open but bar not, said could get breakfast, banner up but no activity. When checking in was told I had a free upgrade, then they in Malaysian changed their mind. Disappointed mis-informed. Room tired. No information given less room number and card. Cheap hotel.
최악입니다. 가족여행 9년차에 이런 나쁜호텔은 처음이예요. 호텔도 전체적으로 낙후되었고, 주변엔 공사장, 호텔직원이 수영장 구석에서 버젓이 담배피우고, 공항드랍 신청했는데 자기는 몰랐다며 연락도 안해주고..스탭들간에 그정도 인수인계도 안하는지... 수영장 물도 더러워요. 그리고 방에 두었던 햄버거 상자에 도마뱀 발견~~~말 다했지요. 차야호텔 때문에 만족스러웠던 여행이 조금의 오점을 남겼어요..다시는 안가요. 주변에도 알리렵니다.

Be careful...
We decided to stay here bcuz it said this hotel offers a free pickup from an airport. But there was no bus waiting for us and we had to pay 45Rk to texi driver to get to this hotel
밤에 도착으로 체크인을 12시 넘어서 했는데 체크인할때 보조금을 받는다
그러고 숙소안을 확인했는데 전체적으로 괜찮은 편이나 숙소안에 칫솔,치약이 없어서 개인으로 들고온걸 사용했고 샤워타올이 없어 개인적으로 가져온 스폰지를 사용했다
콘센트는 모든나라가 사용할수있는게 설치되어있으니 좋음
퇴실후 짐 보관이 가능해서 비행기시간까지 구경하기 좋고
퇴실때 보조금을 돌려준다
Perfect for overnight stay. Late arrival and early flight departure. Close to the airport. Clean and spacious room. We stayed two times on this trip. Would stay there again.
공항에 가까워서 예약한 호텔.
사실 그것 외에 좋은점이 없어요.
시내갈때도 택시타고 가야하고 왠만한 투어나 마사지샵에사도 공항샌딩 서비스가 있어서 굳이 싼 가격에 이 곳으로 오신다면 비추입니다. 스위트룸을 잡았는데 이불도 눅눅하고 호스텔보다도 환경이 별로에요.
수건은 두개밖에 안주고 실내슬리퍼는 고사하고 샤워가운도 없습니다.
휴지 여분도 없어서 부족하면 일일이 카운터에 말해야하고 칫솔도 없어요.. 개인용 칫솔 가지고와서 다행.. 호스텔 수준이라 보시면되는데 여행첫날 이곳보다 더 좋은 호스텔에 묵어서 더 실망입니다.
그리고 1층 로비에서 케리어 샌딩도 안해주시는데 케리어카는 왜있는지도 모르겠음..
주위에 걸어서 갈수있는 편의시설도 없습니다.
