Hotels near Pantai Penarik, Kuala Terengganu

The good- 1/ what you see is what you get. Nice kampung houses situated at a remote area next to a pristine beach. Very calm. 2/ no internet connectivity, no wifi and very weak mobile coverage. Good to disconnect. The bad- 1/ Its more like an airbnb rental. No/lack of a proper hospitality service. Everything had to be done DIY. Went around looking for pool towels, getting coffee, etc... 2/ 2-3 locals are only real estate caretakers with minimal hospitality experience. Room was not cleaned daily. Not sure if we had to ask, the lady at the front desk did not mention anything. 3/ No one actually greeted us when we reached the place. Had to wait before the gate was opened by the gardener. The caretaker came out 10 mins after we went about looking for the check in place. 4/ Food quality was so and so. Am ok to book in advance but the first day dinner we ordered was below par so we decided not to eat in. No real value for money. However the place is so remote that the next descent restaurant was 5-6km away. 5/ A lot of mosquitoes at night. Even though there is a mosquito spray provided, it would be better if a mosquito repellent plugged to the power outlet can be provided as well. Mosquito nets around the bed provided some comfort for a good night sleep. 6/ lack of security around the premise. Came back from town at night, opened the gates, parked inside and walked around. No one to be seen or came out to check who we were. No phones in the room to call for service or in case of any emergencies. All in all we came for a weekend escapade. We got what we wanted from the property but it would have been better if the place is really managed by experienced service staff.

The duplex room we stayed in, the upper room and the lower living room. A more characteristic tall house; the room has 2 1.5M beds, and the extra-large bed can be used for 6 people. It is recommended that families live best.

I loved the view where you can randomly see the airplane departing and landing now and then. The room was quite nice, with all the amenities. I look forward to booking here again if I ever come to Terengganu in the future

With no presence of 5 star hotels in Kuala Terengganu, I had to find the best alternative. I was lucky to find Valya Hotel, situated in an area called Gong Badak. If you are having a hard time finding the perfect hotel, I think your search should end with this hotel. Look, I am someone who values good quality and top rated hotels for a comfortable stay. This hotel has many of the things I was looking for: - Free WiFi - Elevator - Close to shops, eateries, convenience stores (e.g. Jakel, Mydin, Watsons, 7-11, pharmacy etc) - Close to airport (less than 10 minutes) - Basic bath amenities and in-room slippers provided (towels, toothbrush are available) - Strong rain shower pressure, proper bidet These factors would suffice to ensure a comfortable and relaxing experience. The price point is extremely affordable. I booked a Superior Triple room with window. Although there is no ”view” from the window, you can still have some light shining through, for a less claustrophobic environment. Other things that were missing, but acceptable at the price you are paying: - No breakfast - No in-room safe - No dedicated parking space for hotel guests (more on this below) - No view from window (as mentioned) My main gripe will be parking, as mentioned by other guests who reviewed this property as well. As there are many shophouses, you should expect a chaotic and congested area full of vehicles during the day. Parking is chargeable at RM0.60 per hour, and you can pay for parking at the various stations around the parking lot, with some not functioning at all. It is a challenge to find space close to the hotel, and you will end up having to move your car closer to your hotel when the congestion clears up in the evening. Another plus staying here will be a self service laundromat on the other side of the row of shophouses. Overall, Valya Hotel is a perfect hotel for a comfortable stay in Terengganu. You can reach the city centre in mere minutes, and the airport is within close proximity. Highly recommended!

Location: 2 minutes’ walk to Chinatown, 20 minutes’ taxi ride to TTI pier, 25 minutes’ taxi ride to Terengganu Airport. There is a MYR 2.4 supermarket behind the building, and there are MYR 2.4 on the first floor, which is perfect (Picture 9) Cleanliness: Very clean, the bed is big and comfortable, the room is also big, two bathrooms, living room and dining room Facilities: There is a refrigerator, a microwave, a TV to watch YouTube, body soap, shampoo, bath towels, no toothbrushes, and no slippers. Service: Fully self-service, the landlord will contact you +v in advance, very convenient Highly recommended

Good location, great staff, I got a room at the end of the block, the WiFi basically doesn't work at that area

Friendly staff including receptionist, waitress and waiter, and car park security. Considering the low price, value for room and the most awesome thing is the room came with buffet breakfast for 3 persons, and the breakfast was really good! Overall experience is good.

Extend semalam sbb tak puas makan nasi dagang sebelah hotel. Hotel amat Dekat dgn nasi dagang atas tol. Jalan kaki saja dari hotel. Tak sampai 100 meter. Best turun n sampai ke kedai nasi dagang atas tol before 830. Sbb selalu pukul 9 dah habis nasi dagang
