Hotel Tanjong Vista

Hotel Tanjung Vista impresses with friendly staff, spacious and clean rooms, strategic location near shopping, dining, and beaches. However, no disadvantages were mentioned in the reviews.

We are kinda surprised actually with the room conditions. We make a special request for a non-smoking room during booking. Before going into the room, we were greeted by a familiar odour of cigarettes in a closed space. But we just thought that it's probably just the hallway. But our hopes are shattered immediately after. The room looks quite old, but mind you, l wouldn't mind old if it was given a care. The wall was peeling away, eroded with water most probably. The carpet felt like walking on debris with black spots on some parts. Every time we stepped into the bathroom, there was dust being washed away with water from our feet. The bathroom itself doesn't get proper care. The roof was peeling away with black stains on it. Probably mold. I don't know. You be the judge. And please don't make me talk about the toilet bowl. There were black stains inside which I don't have the energy to take pictures of. We informed the receptionist, asking to change rooms but they declined. Finally, when we cannot tolerate anymore with the smell, we decided to book another hotel for the night. Actually we saw a bowl of charcoal being put around in the room & the hallway. Probably they knew about the smell & they are doing something with it but it didn't work. Partly maybe because the window is sealed shut. No outside air can enter the room or the hallway I hope they do something to improve the rooms condition. But for me, it was the first & the last.

Everything as expected.
