“Nice stay in Kota Bharu”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2013

Stayed here for 4 days 3 nights. This was my 1st time in Kota Bharu, so I was kinda excited. This hotel is a bit of walking distance (plus a lot of sweat!) to Pasar Siti Khadijah, Parkson shopping mall and the jewellery shops. Bear in mind that it's not really easy to get a taxi if you're planning to... More

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2013 via mobile

Hello everyone! I wouldlike to share my experience staying at this hotel early this year. To be honest, this is another hotel in Kota Bharu which deserves to be called as hotel after renaisance. Basic facilities available. The lobby is fine, there is a lobby lounge and cafe to hang around. The room is quite spacious with standard amenities. Just... More

“Hotel which requires upgrade”

Stayed here for business and notice that the hotel cleanliness is not being upkept properly. The room has ants and the mattress is old. The entire outlook of the hotel is rather nostalgic and run down. I was given a corner room and from the outside window, there are lots of pigeon nets which makes it very noisy. Hotel does... More

“Good location and rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2013

Very comfortable rooms - including a suite upgrade on one occasion. Ask for riverview rooms to get excellent views across the river which has spectacular sunsets. Food OK but better to eat out. Internet deal better than contacting direct.

There is not much on offer in Kota Bharu so I think this hotel is as good as it gets for being central to downtown. There are some others heading out of town toward the south but you definitely need a car. The place is in ok nick but like most Malaysian hotels was probably good at opening but maintenance... More
