Find Top Hostels in Langkawi

I chose this guesthouse, newly opened in 2026, for my trip to Langkawi this time, and it truly exceeded my expectations! It's located above the Kawanda Billion Supermarket, so you can just head downstairs for water and snacks – super convenient. There are also tons of food options around, from restaurants to street stalls, making it easy to sort out all your meals without any worries. The owner is incredibly kind, and all the staff are super enthusiastic. They're always happy to answer questions and even recommended many fun local spots and delicious restaurants to us. The room facilities are very new, and both the bedding and the room itself are extremely clean, showing that they truly put effort into running the place. The biggest surprise was the communal kitchen! It's equipped with an air fryer and a microwave, so we could buy seafood at night and prepare a simple meal ourselves, which was incredibly convenient and saved money. The mountain view from the window is lovely; sitting there and enjoying the breeze was very comfortable. It's about five kilometers from both the airport and Cenang Beach, so a taxi ride takes about ten minutes – a very suitable location. I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Langkawi; I genuinely recommend it to everyone!

This place actually is more than just a motel as we know. When we arrived we were surprised to see how big that tiny house inside with a comfy bed, a large table, a kitchen equipped with a microwave, a fridge , a sink, an electric kettle, kitchenware: plates , forks, bowls and and plates, a bottle of dish cleaner. We used our kitchen corner mostly for cooking cereals for breakfast. There’s also a kitchen for common use with stoves , pots and pans near the managers office if someone feels like cooking lunch or dinner. The bathroom is small, together with toilet, the shower gel provided by management, no toothpaste or toothbrushes. In the patio one may find two chairs and a table , clothes hangers as well. The motel is located about 1 km from the Main Street Pengtai Cenang and 1.5 km from the beach, but it’s easy to rent a bike for MR 40 a day and the manager will help you to arrange all the formalities. The receptionist is a very kind and friendly person, always ready to help you if needed. In general, the motel is great place for people who came to chilax closer to nature, looking for peace and calm, away from noise and rush. It’s a great experience of accommodation, without luxury and room service, but full of warmth and positive emotions… something unforgettable. Stay cool!!😎

The hotel is on the beach, a very beautiful location, tables overlooking the sea and a gorgeous sunset. This alone is worth a visit for at least a couple of days. There's a children's pool with a sea view. The WiFi worked. There's a local cafe serving dinner. The only refrigerator is in the shared kitchen, and that's a plus. The bed linen was stained. The mugs were smelly and unwashable. It was a family room, and the second bed left only a narrow passage to the bathroom, which was a bit cramped. The toilet leaked. Overall, for this price, it's fine for a couple of nights.

Thank you to the host for your warm hospitality. This is my first time arriving in Malaysia, and I came directly to Langkawi. I was a bit anxious at first, but the host couple are extremely kind and friendly. Although the location is slightly remote, getting around with Grab is really convenient, and it is close to the Telaga harbour. I think it is an good accommodation option for a stopover when traveling to Koh Lipe.

This is a normal, simple motel. There's always hot water, shower gel, and soap available. The air conditioning works well. No strange smells or insects, and the bedding and towels are decent. The staff are friendly, and check-in/check-out is easy. There were no noisy neighbors or other sources of noise. Cenang Beach is only about a three-minute walk away, and there are plenty of food stalls nearby. Cenang Mall is about a 5-7 minute walk. This is my second time staying here. It's a great place for travelers who don't plan on spending much time in their room, and just need a comfortable place to wash up and sleep. The rooms look just like the photos. Outside each door, there's a small table and two chairs.

Overall, I liked the hotel. Housekeeping is a bit inconsistent: sometimes they sweep, sometimes they mop, you never know. Same with the water refills... The grounds are clean. The pool is a little dirty, with some small debris floating in the water. The clothes dryer is rusty, and I unfortunately ruined two pieces of clothing before figuring out where the orange stains came from. Cenang Beach is full of jellyfish, water sports, and murky water, but everyone seems really happy. Many motels like this share a common problem – your window is always going to be curtained, and there isn't enough light in the room. And the bathroom with the shower directly over the toilet? That's a local specialty.

Pros: The hotel's location is great. Although it was a bit hard to find at first, tucked away in an alley, it offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. Just a short walk brings you to a lively street and then to a beautiful and comfortable beach. The hotel also has a pool in the courtyard which my child absolutely loved! Ali at the front desk was incredibly kind and went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Cons: The hotel is a bit basic. The mirror on the cabinet was broken, the toilet seat kept sliding, and the hot water for the shower wasn't great. The bathroom isn't designed with a wet/dry separation, and the room had a musty smell due to dampness. The sound insulation in the hallway outside the room wasn't very good. However, considering the price, it was acceptable. The hotel seems to attract a lot of European and American backpackers.

The accommodation is close to the center, just a 5-7 minute walk. On the way to the beach, there are many inexpensive cafes. A night market is a one-minute walk away. The room is clean, but everything is a bit outdated, and the linens are old and stained. It's perfect for a one-night stay before a flight.

This accommodation offers excellent value for money, especially for families traveling with children. It's just a 300-meter walk to the beach, which is super convenient for kids to play in the water. The surrounding area is bustling with shops, including convenience stores and restaurants, so you'll never have to worry about dining or shopping – everything is right downstairs. It would be even better if the room cleanliness could be improved, but overall, it's a great experience. It's a hassle-free and comfortable stay for families heading to the beach. Highly recommended!

Sadly, this looks like a place that desperately needs renovation. It looks quite neglected, from walls screaming for new paint, to torn bedsheets, to broken pipes in the bathroom leaking water. Also, some things are not as advertised in their profile. There is no 24 hour front desk - in fact, check in is very simple, you come to a desk, and find the key with the sticker with your name on it (it would be nice if they informed guests about this). Also, there is no hot water in the bathroom (even if room description claims otherwise), nor electric kettle in the room. There was also no toilet paper, but after i sent them an email about it (remember, no 24 hour front desk), they brought a roll with an apology. They were nice enough to extend my check out for an hour. But more than just being flexible, i think their business would improve if they invested more into maintenance of the place.
