We stayed in Hotel Timotel twice before and after a week's stay on Tioman Island. The first time we'd arrived from Melaka at about 12.30pm and were rudely told by the receptionist that check-in wasn't until 2pm so we'd have to come back. In the end she begrudgingly let us leave our rucksacks behind reception while we went for a... more

We wanted to stay for 1 night in mersing before going to sibu the next day. As it was a weekday in feb, we didnt booked, we just checked the price and the room and decided to take it. it is conveniently located, near the town centre, the hotel is on the main road, can get some traffic noise. the... more

Stayed here for 4 days for work.. Room is clean but I think they need to change the towels which are eventhough clean, have seen better days... Breakfast buffet is ordinary but there's a little corner restaurant outside (part of hotel) which opens later in the afternoon. The local coconut pancake (lempeng) is really nice!! There's also a convenience store... more

We (two adults and two kids aged 12 & 4) stayed at the Timotel for one night on our way to Tioman Island. Room was large, clean and the staff were friendly. I thought the tariff was a little steep, but not outrageous. A decent breakfast was included, and we were driven to the ferry terminal for our morning ferry.... more

The hotel is well signposted as you enter Mersing. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was huge with 2 double beds and very clean. Tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms, which was welcome. The only downside was that our air conditioning unit was pretty noisy. The buffet breakfast was reasonable. We had an issue... more

Not a great deal to report about Timotel to be honest! It was a clean, half decent 3 start hotel. The rooms are pretty big, bathrooms are fairly average, and the breakfast mediocre. The staff are very friendly, but watch out for the guy they recommend for information on going to Pulau Tioman, as although he doesn't lie, he kind... more

Like others, we rolled up here for an overnighter en route to Tioman with a phone booking at short notice. Spacious room with breakfast cost RM150 which was decent value considering other places we stayed in Malaysia. I liked the room, big, quiet and comfortable. Staff are friendly but somewhat naiive in the ways of Western tourists in a charming,... more

My wife and I stayed here for three nights while in Mersing in order to visit the islands in the area. Mersing tends to be the starting point for boat services to the islands of Johor, Malaysia in the South China Sea. For our purposes, the stay here was nice. The rooms are very large, the AC worked well and... more

As a stop-over to the islands, this hotel was ideal and available. Even though we arrived later than planned, the staff were eager to serve us food and bev, and our room was fine. They even dropped us at the ferry terminal next day. Recommend. more
