  Horrible experience

  30 Jan 2020

  Myself and my partner along with friends stayed in this hostel for a week. Before I mention anything about the horrible situation we found ourselves in - our room was very very basic. The shower was dodgy and wasn't working properly on a few occasions. Also the noise of construction going on outside in the mornings woke us up numerous times during the week.... Anyways: On our last day we checked out and my partner asked the woman in reception could he leave his bag-pack there before we had to catch our flight in the evening (obviously trusting her that she'll keep an eye on it / or place it in another safe room until we return). Its later in the evening and he returns to the hostels reception to get his bag-pack only to find it opened and obviously looked through as things were hanging out of the bag. He soon discovers that his Macbook Pro, Canon camera and Kindle are missing from the bag. So after this he went to the manager who he got little to no help from - the owner who claimed to NOT be the owner was beyond obnoxious when we tried to speak to him. He told my partner that he was making this all up and nothing was stolen from his bag-pack and that he was a "typical European". We asked him could he ring the woman that was working at reception that morning as we didn't have sim cards to do so - and he refused to call her. It was really unbelievable how we were treated and how unprofessional these people were. They shouldn't be let run a hostel.

  Don't bank on your stay being being honored

  03 Feb 2019

  I can't speak for the quality of the rooms But... I went in to book a room, after 10 minutes of checking their bookings they told me I had a room for my selected dates. They were obviously unsure whether they had something but they booked me in anyway. I came to Cenang specifically that day to find a place to stay. Having apparently sorted this out I left the area and crossed the island to return my motorbike. At this point I got a text telling me that, in fact, they had booked me over someone else. So basically they were working with multiple bookings and got a better price from another customer and told me my room was no longer available. Great, that's what you get for trying to avoid the booking websites. Anyhow, I was quite screwed after that as it was Chinese New year, everything was booked up, and I had no time to find another place.

  You get what you pay for

  29 Nov 2018

  I booked the room through Agoda for 2 nights. Although I was supposed to get a double bed, I was welcomed with another additional single bed. The room is big enough for me one person. TV was not working well but I didn't really bother about it. Perhaps due to the location, there was a funny smell when you open the tap or shower. The sink was leaking and the toilet hose as well.It is located among many other home stays and "hotels".You have to walk out of the village. Around 600m to get to the beach. And in about 1. 5km is the Chenang Mall where you can shop. Along the road, there are many eateries, night markets on certain nights.If you are looking for a comfortable place, this is not suitable as there were insects and the room lighting was not so bright. The owner has few cats which roams around. There's a common kitchen where you can actually make coffee or tea and toast bread but I chose to avoid because it was open and dirty. You can refill water if you want as there's no kettle inside the room.

  Horrendous!

  30 Oct 2018

  Well where do I begin! We originally booked for 4 nights but left after two as the place was so filthy and depressing! When we first arrived to check in and no one was at reception, we waited around 30 minutes to check in! Following this the room was like a prison cell. The bed sheets and towels were dirty, the walls were stained and the toilet smelt bad. On the second night I found a cockroach in the bathroom which was a total turn off. We wanted to do a laundry service, so asked the staff how it was possible, they said to return to reception at 5pm. When we arrived at 5pm no one was there. Once again, waiting at reception for ages and gave up!! Joke of a hotel, don’t stay here!!
