What recent reviews say

Location and river views draw guests, but cleanliness and maintenance failures dominate complaints. Mold, insects, and broken features appear across multiple stays, with photos not matching reality. Management is often unresponsive to concerns. WiFi is slow. The property offers budget pricing but at a cost to comfort and safety that makes longer stays risky.

Recent shift: No recent improvement; complaints about cleanliness, maintenance, and misleading photos remain consistent from three years ago through 3 months ago. One guest left after 30 minutes.

Praised for
  • good location in town centre
  • river and town views
  • competitive pricing
  • some guests found rooms acceptable
Watch-outs
  • severe cleanliness issues (mold, dirt, cobwebs, insects)
  • significant maintenance neglect (leaks, broken locks, stains)
  • photos misleading compared to actual rooms
  • unresponsive management
  • poor wifi connectivity
  • insufficient amenities (limited water, no toiletries, no stove)

Best for: day visitors or very short stays (under 24 hours) prioritizing location over comfort.
Think twice if: mold, insects, broken locks, leaks, and poor maintenance concern you; management rarely responds to complaints.

Worth knowing

  • Units identified by floor and door (e.g. A13-10, 18th floor; B-10-5)

  • Check-in requires first registering at Ibis guard house
  • Management charged guest RM100 deposit for alleged tap misuse despite pre-existing leak
  • Only two small 250ml bottles of drinking water provided
  • Towels not replaced during stay
  • Studio units have microwave only, no electric stove

Visitors consistently praise the owner's hospitality and responsiveness, paired with spotless rooms and a full set of appliances including air conditioning, fridge, microwave, and water dispenser. The riverside location with city views of Kota Bharu appeals to families, and the pool is popular with kids. Prices are described as fair. One reviewer flagged the children's pool as dirty, and another noted dust and lack of water heating, but these are isolated concerns against overwhelming five-star ratings.
