    The rooms and hotel are a bit dated, but clean enough. Little restaurants or shops close-by.

    The pool, the tabletennis table, the Nintendo 64. Very nice for a family stop-over before going to Tioman.

    We spent one night before taking the boat to Tioman early the next morning, a great little place simple but clean and staff was friendly. The pool was great for an after dinner night time dip, and we had also had fun playing ping pong.

    Lovely staff, a great clean room with a working AC and a beautiful pool that we were able to take a little night dive in :) We stayed for only one night before taking the ferry to Tioman Island and this place was perfect since it was also just 5min by car from the jetty. We can only recommend staying here!

    Simple and Quite Stay
    • Leisure trip

    Nothing that is glaring. Just don't expect the hotel to be 5 star. it is not. but the rest of the room and ambiance is just alright. you get what you pay for. nothing more nothing less. only the bathtub plug is too small. that is about the only flaw i can write here.

    Simple, Quite and Clean Hotel. Value for money. The staffs are also accommodating. I asked for a lower room due to me having a lot of baby luggage. They contracted me immediately to help with my request. I also arrived at 12.30am. The staffs directed me to the counter and my room. Really helpful and understanding. room is fine. aircond and toilet works.

    Warn out and old furniture. No elevator.

    The hotel was a good solution just to spend a night before taking a ferry. Short, 5-minute drive, to the Mersing ferry terminal. Huge free parking. Decent and free wi-fi. AC and ceiling fan.

    Mobile phone network coverage was not strong in the area. 4G data connections for Celcom and Maxis frequently cuts off.

    Clean and pleasant enough for a short pit stop on a long road trip.

    HEALTH HAZARD. DO NOT BOOK A NIGHT HERE!

    That this hotel is in rough condition is an understatement. The whole place is run down and looks like a ruin. We checked in to our room and it had black mold everywhere. Since it was too late to book another accommodation we thought we would sit it out, but after a quick nap, we woke up with sore throats and burning eyes cause of the mold. We went down and asked if we could get another room, but all the other rooms we were offered had the same problem and even worse some places. When we asked if we could get a refund we were denied because we already checked in a few hours ago. They were not very understanding of our situation and it felt like a money grab. This place is NOT suited for accommodation. Please for your health, do not book a night here. It is a health hazard and the whole place needs a serious renovation. Even that, I think, would not be sufficient. The rot and mold is deep in the structure of the whole place. Should not be legal to run a hotel out of this place

    Not much to like really. The staff in the reception were friendly, but that’s pretty much it

    For the price, we expect better facilities.

    The location is near to town and Air Papan beach.
