Hotels near Abidin Mosque, Kuala Terengganu

The room and overall environment were beautiful, peaceful, and very comfortable. However, during my stay, I experienced several issues with the water supply in the bathroom. The problem happened multiple times, and I had to contact the maintenance staff more than five times. There were even some misunderstandings and discussions regarding fixing the issue and changing rooms. Thankfully, the staff managed the situation professionally in the end and provided complimentary breakfast as compensation, which I truly appreciated. Despite the inconvenience, I still enjoyed my stay because the hotel itself is truly beautiful and relaxing. I would definitely come back again in the future, hoping for an even better experience next time!

Me and family went on vacation to Melaka after arriving in Melaka I stayed at CITYPLAZA Hotel & suites the staff is friendly the room is comfortable clean the place is quite lively there are many shops on the side of the road not quiet Thank you to the staff because I was helped to order Maxim /Grab

I had a free upgrade from double bed to family room. So it was spacious for me. The reason of choosing this hotel was due to its distance, near the Jambatan Angkat. I had a short run from the hotel to the Jambatan Angkat return. The hotel was near to Masjid Negeri hence I didnt feel alone hearing the azan near me. Many restaurant nearby so you dont have to worry about breakfast. I will return if I were to register running event in Kuala Terengganu. It was near the Terminal bus station too. Just walking distance.

We initially had a frustrating experience as our towels were delivered quite late. However, the situation was handled professionally by Manager Iza, who personally delivered the towels to our room and sincerely apologized for the delay. Her prompt action and attention to guests made a positive difference. Overall, the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We booked four rooms and requested them to be located near each other, which the hotel successfully accommodated. However, housekeeping services need improvement, as one of our rooms was not serviced and there were some inconsistencies in room maintenance during our stay. The hotel’s location is excellent and very convenient. It is close to everything we needed, with Restoran Singgang Budu located right beside the hotel. There are also laundry facilities nearby, and plenty of food options within walking distance, making it a great choice for travelers. The staff were friendly, always smiling, and genuinely tried their best to accommodate our requests throughout our stay. While housekeeping could be improved, the service recovery by the management team and the hotel’s strategic location made our overall stay enjoyable.

Good location. But as you see in the picture, the toilet is not clean. Stains on the wall shows that it was not clean properly for a long time.

The room feels brand new—spotlessly clean and super comfortable. Plus, it’s just a short walk to the famous nasi dagang atas toll. Definitely a top pick, highly recommended!

Great place to stay in the Kuala Terengganu city center. We stayed 2 nights on business travel and this hotel provided everything we needed! And i'm extra happy with the Iron and Iron board they provided!

Newest hotel in town which truly the best location spot, walking distance to Payang, price affordable and nearby foodies areas. great ample parking slots. what surprise me the most is the room itself. super spacious for four of us, occupied with sofa and lounge at balcony some more. maybe wud be great if got in house mini fridge. the rest all lively and nice setting. the bed is super comfy tv comes with Youtube n Netflix which is a plus point for kids. their warmth receptionist also wud made u feel welcomed and happy throughout the stays. surely will come again AlVilla 🥰😘

✅ Main Advantages 1. Very Strategic Location The hotel is located right in the heart of Kuala Terengganu city, near Kampung Cina / Jalan Kg Cina — making it very convenient to reach Pasar Payang, souvenir shops, dining spots, or just take a relaxing walk around. Many guests have mentioned that the location is “hard to beat” and “super convenient.” So if you “like staying here because it’s close to Pasar Payang,” this hotel definitely meets that expectation. 2. Charming Boutique Design & Atmosphere The hotel features a vintage/colonial Malay–Chinese (Peranakan) style with distinctive decorative and furniture details. Many guests appreciate the beautiful and “Instagrammable” interior design and room decor. 3. Decent Rooms & Good Value for Money While it’s not a luxury hotel, most guests feel that for the location and price, it’s a great choice. For example, the “Superior King” room starts from around RM190+ during normal seasons. Reviews generally mention that the rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a satisfying experience overall. ⸻ ⚠️ Disadvantages / Things to Note 1. Room Size Some guests mentioned that the rooms are rather small, especially for two to three people or if you have large luggage. So, if you’re traveling with your wife and two young children, it’s better to choose a larger room (like the “Deluxe Family”) for more space. 2. Facilities & Minor Details Could Be Improved • Some reviews said the air conditioning control could be better — the room felt warm even at low settings. • Limited parking: the hotel provides open-air parking, but spaces are quite few. • Some rooms have slightly quirky layouts, such as glass bathrooms or sinks placed outside the bathroom. • A few guests felt that staff service could be more friendly (though this is not a common issue). 3. Family Rooms If you’re staying with young children, confirm the “Family” room type to ensure it’s suitable — for example, check if there’s any glass wall in the bathroom. Make sure the room setup is family-friendly. ⸻ 🎯 Who Is It Suitable For? • Ideal for couples or small families who want the best central location and the ability to walk easily to markets, shops, and eateries. • Less suitable if you need a large space, luxury facilities, or ample parking — in that case, other hotels might be more appropriate. ⸻ 📝 Tips for Your Stay • Book a larger room (e.g. Deluxe or Family) if traveling with family for better comfort. • Arriving early or late? Check parking first — you may need to unload your luggage before parking. • If possible, request a room with a window, as some reviews mentioned that “windowless rooms” can feel stuffy. • Bring light clothing or t-shirts, as even with air-conditioning, some rooms felt a bit warm. • When exploring Pasar Payang or Kampung Cina on foot, go in the morning or late afternoon to avoid traffic and parking congestion. ⸻ ✅ Conclusion In summary, The Payang Hotel is an excellent choice if your top priority is staying very close to Pasar Payang and downtown Kuala Terengganu, while enjoying a charming boutique atmosphere. With a bit of compromise on room size and a few minor facilities, you’ll still get a comfortable and practical stay in a highly convenient location.
