Perlis Hotels & Accommodations

Put up at the Seri Malaysia Kangar, the biggest SM hotel yet, very spacious. Even the room i occupied had an adjoining TV room and separate bathroom. A swimming pool for families qualifies this hotel as a 4 star. However, one funny detail is in the room service menu. While two columns denoted that the time to order was between 10am and 10pm, the last column showed that last order to be 11pm. So i called to order supper only to be told sorry sir last order 10pm! Didnt want to lock horns and settled instead for the Godiva choc pretzels i bought at the airport. But would have still preferred to sample the nasi goreng special as its glossy menu advertised Breakfast the next day was predictably SM but one item caught my eye: glutinous rice or pulut with salted fish and coconut flakes. Added a chicken sambal to make it a little spicy; this alone restored my faith in SM.

We were booked for 1 night at Ants Hotel as we were using the Roro Ferry to Langkawi the next morning. This hotel has so many 'don't haves and don't provide', its unbelievable. (1) No coffee and tea making facilities (2) TV had only 2 channels, TV1 and TV3. No news channels. (3) No shops nearby to buy drinks (4) Only rain shower provided (5) No windows in the very small and claustrophobic room We actually paid RM110+ for the rooms and there was a notice that the hotel was offering RM95 at the reception. And when we complained about the windowless rooms, we were told we would each have to pay another RM30 if we wanted rooms with window! A rip off place. When I requested for a kettle, I was given one. But when I requested for a mug or teaspoon to make a drink, I was told that only 2 small glasses are provided in the room. And that was all. There was a shower cap provided by the way, but it was hidden in the cupboard, not in the bathroom. I would not recommend anyone to stay in this hotel. Seriously.

Location: 10/10; - The location of the hotel is in the city town and finding food is quite easy or nearby if having a vehicle to travel in short distance. Cleanliness: 6/10; - The room cleanliness is still okay with certain acceptance. It is an old hotel and nothing to be surprised when there's several unattended space covers with some dust; Functionality: 5/10; The hotel is a very old hotel and there are some cosmetic areas in the room that need to be fixed up properly. Such example the air condition is very old and takes some time to cool the entire room; There's also not so many wall plugs for electrical connections in the room. I can recall only have one or 2 that is already in used inside the room for lighting, water boiler and TV connections; Bathroom Condition: 6/10; The water heater is still functional, and the heating of the water is quite consistently good. The bathroom is clean and acceptable; Room Space: 10/10: The room is quite spacious with queen bed size. The room comes with a table that can be multi functional use. Room Condition: 6/10; The wall of the room is quite old and pale; The wall is also quite thin and not that soundproof if there is a loud noise in between rooms. Although the hotel is very old, but this is the only best hotel available in Perlis location. Therefore, the circumstances have make us not to be picky and seems to be the only best ideal condition available staying in this hotel and the rest others' accommodation will be very small hotels or motels in other Perlis location.

This hotel is really brand new hotel. The facilities and amenities are new and sleep is comfortable. Stayed for 2 nights for the North Wall Rock Climbing competition. Looking forward to stay again next year for the competition. Overall experience was excellent. Keep it up!

The hotel is very clean and tidy. The front desk service is very friendly. There is a restaurant next door and the sea is at the door. It is very convenient to travel. It is very suitable for tourists or business travelers. The room also has a balcony facing the sea, which is very nice!

Basic hotel, no tea or coffee, not even in the lobby at night. From our room we could see the sea from far. The location is very nice if you wanna catch the ferry in the morning as it lies right next to the ferry station. We stayed there for one night & it was all what we needed. Clean & calm.

this is the best place to stay at kangar, the motel is with nice decoration and always refresh for every time my visit, my room look like newly renovated, staff very friendly especially Anis, she is very nice person and an a asset to the hotel. Nice scenery and fresh view in the morning Even-thought with 2 floor but the motel is with elevator and the motel always kept clean. except the light at door entrance was always trip and nobody come and fixed it till check out but they promise to fix it. anyway we really enjoy with the simple breakfast, weldone to the management but please look at my comment and pls take my comment positively and ensure the request must be attended immediately.

The hotel is clean and worth the price. Booking 2 bliks and side requests and the hotel owner fulfills. Area near bendang. Very calm atmosphere. In sha Allah will repeat again when I go to Kangar.

I have stayed here 2 times.. it's comfortable, the service is also good, everything is ok.. the others can come here .. the photo has nothing to do with it

**************. Overall, overnight experience here for 2 double bed room: 8/10. In my opinion, it's worth the cost for 3 days 2 nights for the purpose of picking up a child at university. The location of this motel is close to the city, and the motel building is located next to a convenience store. So, it's easy to go buy necessities if necessary. There is also a small paddy field next to the motel, so the room we stayed in could enjoy the view. In terms of cleanliness and service, the exterior of the motel lobby at that time may have been maintained or improved, but it did not interfere with the way to enter. The facilities provided in the room, such as the bathroom are in good condition. But, the water in the room I sat in took time to come out fast and stable, maybe there is a problem with the pump. The beds are quite comfortable too, no unpleasant smell. The room space is quite comfortable for 5 of us. There is room to spread out sleeping mats on the floor if necessary. TV broadcasts are provided by local channels and also radio. Cups and water heaters are not provided in the room, but they provide Coway machines for cold and hot drinking water, cups and instant drink packets in the lobby. About the air conditioner, the speed of the water may be a little slow (can't compare with the usual one, because I always use it ^^;). Once it had a problem, so it didn't put out cold air. But, after opening again after we went back to the room, it was okay again. What can be improved, the ceramic floor, although not harmful, but needs to be repaired immediately because it is open/loose/not attached to the floor. In addition, the owner may provide a water heater or a cup in each room. The water pump for the bathroom could be repaired and the hot water system of the bathroom could be improved. Air conditioner may be repaired/maintained/improved for more comfort. Maybe the motel is maintained, they can provide a room that can be used for disabled people, if there is not yet (I didn't notice if there is or not, but look at all the rooms on the upper floor, where there is no way to go up other than stairs). Tips that I can give from my experience, don't forget to bring an extension if you book any place to stay overnight because sometimes there aren't many sockets. Also bring your own plastic waste, it's easy if you want to dispose of waste. Clothes hangers, toiletries, and other necessities may be brought as well, for my situation. This motel feels like a family business, so the children are also in the lobby sometimes. The one who manages my check-in at night is his son (I think). So, maybe the way people may be less professional, in terms of greeting guests who come to check-in. But, they are still friendly with us. Maybe if their children get guests other than Malays, maybe they will feel shy/unusual. So part of the job as a receptionist, the person needs to learn how to communicate and serve guests to get a good first impression. May the owners be blessed with sustenance and may Allah SWT bless their motel business.. May they continue to improve their service and be able to expand their services.
