2-Star Hotels in Sekinchan

The room was very clean and comfy to stay. Easy to check in and we dint have to wait for a longer time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Near to Padi field and Redang Beach. Easy to find seafood restaurant nearby. Definitely will come again. Thank you for great hospitality.

Room was dusty, towels and pillow were not clean. It is smelly the moment we enter the room. Check in counter was at the hair saloon but the lady boss was not even smilling or in a welcoming tone. She was so fierce during our check in as she was scolding her staff. Overall I would not recommend here. Price is affordable but would have gotten a better one with this price.

Nice hotel. Nice view. Nice parking. Nice room. Nice service

They call this a “homestay,” which almost deterred me from staying here. It’s actually a pleasant hotel that just lacks a 24 hour front desk — I think it’s staffed during daylight hours — and relies on an electronic kiosk for check in and check out. There’s no cafe or restaurant, but there are food vending machines in the lobby and restaurants nearby. You’ll want to come with your own transportation. That said, we had a very pleasant stay there, and if you don’t require hotel services, you will too. The hotel is located in one of the many concrete, box-like structures that you’ll see in the padi fields around Sekinchan. These used to be commercial nesting houses for the swiftlets whose saliva nests are used to make birds’ nest soup. Normally the swiftlets nest in caves in remote areas, which makes harvesting the nests difficult. But if you have plenty of swiftlets and no caves, as in Sekinchan, you can build an artificial cave and have a business. I guess that business didn’t thrive, and many of these bird nest houses have been repurposed into alternative uses like this one. The hotel is constructed entirely of concrete (floors, walls, ceilings). The rooms are adequate in size with a huge window providing an excellent view over the rice fields. The rooms are immaculate; air conditioning is good; and a station providing filtered drinking water is available next to the elevator on each floor to refill your water bottles. The kiosk-based check in and check out works well, but is inflexible. If you want to extend your stay you still have to use the kiosk to check out on your original date of departure and check in again. Even though you’re paying for the next day, the kiosk still will charge you a significant penalty if you don’t complete the check out by 12 o’clock check out time. This is weird and inconvenient (and the front desk staff don’t tell you these details), but if you know the rule you can easily manage it. The limited front desk staff speak only Chinese, with the exception of one older lady who frequently isn’t there but is reachable by phone. The hotel has a few set ups in the back (swing, heart-shaped seat and staircase to nowhere) to help you get Instagram-worthy photos on the spot. These seemed to be very popular with young couples staying there. There are several casual restaurants nearby, including a good Vietnamese restaurant just a couple of blocks away, plus lots of Chinese restaurants. (The population of Sekinchan is 80% Chinese.) I came here to photograph the abundant kingfishers that nest in the banks of the irrigation canals running through the rice fields. Padi Sentral was perfect for my needs — comfortable room, perfect location, inexpensive).

There were 4 bad spirits that kept on disturbing me in Room 1-1 while I was asleep. They kept on touching me until I couldn't sleep at all. When I could no longer tolerate, I woke up my husband and told him to bring his pillow and shift to our friend's room instead. In there the bad spirit still followed me so I barely sleep the entire night. On the following day, I made a complaint to the Front Desk and I was told that they are in fact aware of such bad spirits especially in Room 1-1. I was so upset and told them that they should not allow this to happen. They should at least conduct prayer to that room so that the bad spirits will leave and will be at peace; otherwise, they should not open the room for guests to occupy. Worst is, the bad spirit still followed me to Kuala Lumpur. The whole night I was not feeling well and could not sleep at all. On the following day, I was totally sick and was suffering from a terrible headache; that was the time that I called on my Sifu friend to come over to my office and have me checked. Upon conducting prayers, I felt a bit better already. On that night, I was already feeling well and was able to sleep peacefully. The sifu told me that the one who followed me was an old lady. I plea to the management of this hotel to offer more prayers to those poor spirits so they will be in peace.

This time I stayed in a room with low water pressure, the bathroom is so small that the bathroom door can't be opened and closed until the end. wonderland is only open from 10am-6pm compared to before until late at night. there are trampoline playgrounds that close occasionally. used to be a shock, now it's a bit less welcome. But for us, we are very happy to be able to bathe in all the pools.
