Hostels in Kedah, Malaysia

This place actually is more than just a motel as we know. When we arrived we were surprised to see how big that tiny house inside with a comfy bed, a large table, a kitchen equipped with a microwave, a fridge , a sink, an electric kettle, kitchenware: plates , forks, bowls and and plates, a bottle of dish cleaner. We used our kitchen corner mostly for cooking cereals for breakfast. There’s also a kitchen for common use with stoves , pots and pans near the managers office if someone feels like cooking lunch or dinner. The bathroom is small, together with toilet, the shower gel provided by management, no toothpaste or toothbrushes. In the patio one may find two chairs and a table , clothes hangers as well. The motel is located about 1 km from the Main Street Pengtai Cenang and 1.5 km from the beach, but it’s easy to rent a bike for MR 40 a day and the manager will help you to arrange all the formalities. The receptionist is a very kind and friendly person, always ready to help you if needed. In general, the motel is great place for people who came to chilax closer to nature, looking for peace and calm, away from noise and rush. It’s a great experience of accommodation, without luxury and room service, but full of warmth and positive emotions… something unforgettable. Stay cool!!😎

This is a normal, simple motel. There's always hot water, shower gel, and soap available. The air conditioning works well. No strange smells or insects, and the bedding and towels are decent. The staff are friendly, and check-in/check-out is easy. There were no noisy neighbors or other sources of noise. Cenang Beach is only about a three-minute walk away, and there are plenty of food stalls nearby. Cenang Mall is about a 5-7 minute walk. This is my second time staying here. It's a great place for travelers who don't plan on spending much time in their room, and just need a comfortable place to wash up and sleep. The rooms look just like the photos. Outside each door, there's a small table and two chairs.

Sadly, this looks like a place that desperately needs renovation. It looks quite neglected, from walls screaming for new paint, to torn bedsheets, to broken pipes in the bathroom leaking water. Also, some things are not as advertised in their profile. There is no 24 hour front desk - in fact, check in is very simple, you come to a desk, and find the key with the sticker with your name on it (it would be nice if they informed guests about this). Also, there is no hot water in the bathroom (even if room description claims otherwise), nor electric kettle in the room. There was also no toilet paper, but after i sent them an email about it (remember, no 24 hour front desk), they brought a roll with an apology. They were nice enough to extend my check out for an hour. But more than just being flexible, i think their business would improve if they invested more into maintenance of the place.

The rooms are clean and affordably priced. It's right by the beach, just a short walk away. Shops and restaurants are very easy to find, and it's close to department stores, duty-free shops, massage parlors, and various eateries. For this price, it's definitely great value for money. The room is spacious and comes with a hairdryer, soap, towels, and even a dining table. Excellent!

I stayed here as a solo traveller and found it to be a very solid, comfortable base in Langkawi. The standout feature for me was the cleanliness — the room and shared areas were consistently well maintained, which made it easy to relax after long days out exploring. The location is convenient without being noisy, with shops and food options within easy reach. Staff were friendly and helpful when needed, and check-in was smooth. Amenities are simple but practical, and everything worked as expected. This isn’t a luxury resort, but it does exactly what it promises: a clean, affordable, and reliable place to stay. I’d recommend it to solo travellers or anyone looking for a straightforward, fuss-free hotel that offers good value and a comfortable environment. I would stay here again on a future visit to Langkawi.

I chose this guesthouse, newly opened in 2026, for my trip to Langkawi this time, and it truly exceeded my expectations! It's located above the Kawanda Billion Supermarket, so you can just head downstairs for water and snacks – super convenient. There are also tons of food options around, from restaurants to street stalls, making it easy to sort out all your meals without any worries. The owner is incredibly kind, and all the staff are super enthusiastic. They're always happy to answer questions and even recommended many fun local spots and delicious restaurants to us. The room facilities are very new, and both the bedding and the room itself are extremely clean, showing that they truly put effort into running the place. The biggest surprise was the communal kitchen! It's equipped with an air fryer and a microwave, so we could buy seafood at night and prepare a simple meal ourselves, which was incredibly convenient and saved money. The mountain view from the window is lovely; sitting there and enjoying the breeze was very comfortable. It's about five kilometers from both the airport and Cenang Beach, so a taxi ride takes about ten minutes – a very suitable location. I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Langkawi; I genuinely recommend it to everyone!

The accommodation is close to the center, just a 5-7 minute walk. On the way to the beach, there are many inexpensive cafes. A night market is a one-minute walk away. The room is clean, but everything is a bit outdated, and the linens are old and stained. It's perfect for a one-night stay before a flight.

can hear liveband singing from bar nearby and that makes the night lovely ❤️ ancient place and to be surprised could be turned into such a pleasant place to stay. will definitely come back again!

I recently stayed at this motel and had a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely perfect, offering stunning views and breathtaking sunsets that made each evening truly special. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. On our first day, they kindly drove us into town so we could exchange money, which was a thoughtful gesture. Additionally, the on-site café served delicious food, making our dining experience delightful. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a beautiful place to unwind, with great service and lovely amenities.

Overall, I liked the hotel. Housekeeping is a bit inconsistent: sometimes they sweep, sometimes they mop, you never know. Same with the water refills... The grounds are clean. The pool is a little dirty, with some small debris floating in the water. The clothes dryer is rusty, and I unfortunately ruined two pieces of clothing before figuring out where the orange stains came from. Cenang Beach is full of jellyfish, water sports, and murky water, but everyone seems really happy. Many motels like this share a common problem – your window is always going to be curtained, and there isn't enough light in the room. And the bathroom with the shower directly over the toilet? That's a local specialty.
