Honestly, I regretted for staying this hotel. If only I knew the room is small, I rather find somewhere else. It does not fit with the price I paid at all. Despite the room is small, I have to say that the hotel location is quite good with provided parking in front of the hotel. Staffs were mostly friendly. Overall as I mentioned earlier, please find better hotel unless you are desperately need a room. I would like to suggest the hotel management should revise the room price.
The smallest room I have ever stayed. The decorations are nice but no closet and other amenities. The plus points was the view but not really beach view.
Parking is just in front the hotel. Need to get the entrance ticket and get people at receptionist counter acknowlege it.
Quite disappointed with the size of the room and another bad luck was the air conditioner water leaked from top, in front of small walkway. Refused to change to other room because need to repack and decided to stay there and found out lamp cant be switched on after the leaking.
Another plus point, its located in town and easy access to Attraction places

I rarely write reviews on hotel but i must voice out my frustration on my stay with this hotel. I was given a second floor room with window and on the midnight 1-2 am, there was people laughing, shouting and talking from the outside. I was unable to sleep for the whole night due to the loud and clear noise leaked from the outside. I guess this was due to the poorly constructed window and low quality of window material. Besides, the bed was so squeaky, i couldnt move to avoid disturbance to my sleepy and tired partner. I was really upset with the stay. No more cititel for me!!

You are such a considerate and nice person since you avoid moving and disturbance to ensure your sleepy and tired partner to have a good rest.

I was at this hotel at the end of 2018 for work. The location is very good, very central to airport, to my branch office, to shopping, to food.
I got the windowless room because I didn't expect to need a window. Ended up in the middle of the corridor for the room. It was quite noisy in the middle of the night with the lifts dinging and children screaming. But that was just the first night when I was too tired to be bothered. But the noise bothered my room mate.
We did not get breakfast at the hotel as food is plentiful all around. Average spend excluding drinks is less than RM5. I would say that's cheap. Average lunch is RM10. Average dinner is RM20~30.
The toilet is alright, nothing special. Water pressure at the shower is good. And the water is hot.
I requested for late check out and it cost us RM20 per hour after the stated check out time of 12noon.
Didn't get the chance to check out other facilities provided by the hotel.
