Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Kangar
Choosing the right arrival point for Kangar depends heavily on your budget and preference for convenience versus cost. Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR), located in the neighboring city of Alor Setar, is the most practical gateway, offering domestic flights and quick, affordable access to Kangar. Langkawi International Airport (LGK) is a popular choice for tourists, though it requires a sea crossing from the island to the mainland jetty at Kuala Perlis, followed by a short road transfer; it is best suited for those combining island visits with their trip. Hat Yai International Airport (HDY) in Thailand serves as a gateway for northern travelers, but crossing the state border requires additional time and documentation. Penang International Airport (PEN) acts as a major international hub but sits far from Kangar, making it better for those who prioritize flight connectivity over proximity. Finally, Trang Airport (TST) is the furthest and most suitable only for those traveling through Southern Thailand. For all travelers, checking real-time traffic and ferry schedules is highly recommended.

Kangar|3.54km from city center
Cons:
1. There's a connecting door in the room leading to the next room. Although it has a lock, you can still peek into the other room, which feels very unsafe.
2. There were monkeys in the hallway, geckos on the walls, and ants in the room. You'd think I was staying in the middle of nature.
3. There are bedside tables, but no power outlets near the bed, making it very inconvenient to charge devices.
4. The showerhead switch is like those you find in fast-food restaurants – is it to save water? You turn it on full blast, then have to slowly turn it off until no water comes out, then open it again, and slowly close it again.
Pros:
1. There's a parking lot right at the hotel entrance, making parking convenient.
2. The staff are friendly and provide good service.
3. The bed sheets and duvet covers are changed for every new guest.
4. The room size is quite spacious.FromUS$32

The night shift front desk staff was rude during check-in. When I mentioned my booking through the Trip.com app, he denied it and insisted they only accept Agoda bookings. Despite my efforts to explain, he seemed displeased and unhelpful.
The hotel is well-located near eateries and amenities. While it’s old and the rooms are dark, the price is reasonable and cleanliness is satisfactory. WiFi is reliable and fast, traffic noise is noticeable. There are no toiletries provided—only two small cubes of Lux soap. Overall, conditions are acceptable for budget travelers, but don’t expect much.FromUS$24

My overall experience staying at this hotel was very satisfying. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff provided friendly, professional service, always ready to help when needed. From the moment I arrived, the hotel's atmosphere felt comfortable and calming.
The room provided was very clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and in-room amenities such as WiFi, a television, hot water, and basic toiletries were all complete and made my stay easy. The cleanliness of the bathroom was also very satisfactory.
The hotel's location is also strategic and easily accessible, whether for business, vacation, or simply relaxing with family. Other facilities provided were also in good condition and added to the comfort throughout my stay here.
Overall, the stay was excellent and well worth the price. Highly recommended to anyone looking for comfortable, clean accommodation with quality service. I will definitely consider staying here again in the future.FromUS$18

I really enjoyed my stay at Cassia Rama 9. The loft-style room was modern, clean, and very spacious. The highlight was definitely the infinity pool on the 37th floor with an amazing view of Bangkok. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Although it’s a bit of a walk to the MRT, the free shuttle service works perfectly. Highly recommended!FromUS$22
