    TAKE NOTE! The are 2 Celyn Hotels at KK so make sure you book the right one!!!”

    There are two Celyn hotels in KK where the older one is located right in the heart of town walking distance to the waterfront jetty etc while the newer one is located next to City Mall about 10 minutes drive from the waterfront jetty. The address on Agoda is misleading since it only states the address of the older outlet located in town. I ended up going to the wrong hotel and was told I'm not the only guest to make the mistake. The offered to switch my booking with a nominal RM 10 fee per room but we didn't take up the offer since the lifts at the older Celyn hotel in town near the waterfront were not working at that time and the stairway and corridoor was quite dirty since it's a shared premise. I drove over to the other Celyn hotel outlet at City Mall which is much newer and cleaner but you will need your own transportation to move around.

    The hotel was actually quite nice with distance away from the mall. Its quite recommendable for staying one or two days there if you do not have any transportation to move around town as there is a theater inside the mall itself. Quite a pleasant stay...
