For the second time, we booked the same Superior Family room. And the room is really comfortable, with two queen size beds that can actually fit four people per bed. The room is very clean, so is the toilet.

New hotel. outside written Hotel Malayu. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. just sleep only. Cleanliness ok No private parking. outdoor parking space is limited. Standard room very small. just a bit bigger than a queen size bed only. for budget travel ok. big bathroom. locate in Lumut town. 210m away from Lumut jetty.
a bit outskirt location, about 15minutes drive to nearest town/restaurant (near UNIKL)..nice decent hotel and clean rooms, depending on what you pay for, also it has a pool for kids.. staff was helpful and nice.. overall, a thumbs up for a budget family holiday
Good place as it nearby lumut jetty n lumut waterfront, walking distance only. However, as it is nearby of all important location, car park will be a bit problem, but luckily I m so lucky... It is a walking distance ton beach also.. Quite good scenery and the beach n sea is calm
This place is very near Lumut. Thus, even during weekends, there is still got vacancy. Which is surprising. However, the look and facilities (lift, swimming pool) is from the 80's. And, from the outside, the building looks abandon.
For a budget hotel it was unexpectedly good and worth every price we pay. Everything looks new. Went there for Lumut annual event for cycling race and spent a night there which ended up 2 nights instead. Close to shops and town area but located in a slightly quiet part of Lumut. Jetty to Pangkor only about 10 mins drive away. Staffs were very helpful and friendly. Defi...
The host is helpful and efficient. I managed to call and whatsapp him on the check in day itself, and his response was fast. It is also good that he is living not far from the vacation home.

During my 3 days and 2night stay here. My family and I was really comfort. The family room was spacious. The location was quiet and suitable for family with younger children. They don't provide breakfast but if u have vehicles its not much trouble. There are plenty of warung and restaurant where you can find foods. It was located between sitiawan and lumut. If u have b...
Never I thought and expected such a tastefully designed and impressive Vacation Home in Lumut which located on top a hill with breathtaking sea-view from Rooms' window on upper floor. This is certainly more worthwhile staying than a hotel for a family trip.
The house ID is very nice, feel comfortable, everything is provided, including cooking place. Very suitable for those who are travel in big family (4 rooms) and who don't want to stay overnight at pangkor.
Everything is just average. It is a condo that is not well maintain. What you get in the room is not standardized, it all depends on the unit owner I think, because I booked 2 rooms, one is better than the other in term of the furniture and tv. That is why you see mixed review for this property, it all depends on your luck on which you unit you get. I booked for 2 uni...
