Not shared bathroom clearly stated.”

Not good for muslim families with female members or thoise who want family privacy as the room shared common bathroom and toilets with all 17 other rooms on the same floor. This fact was not clearly stated in the Agoda listing. When we wanted to upgrade, the operator wanted to charge us the full price of extra RM50 which is almost like booking another room. I sense dirty selling tactic. I cancelled the upgrade intention. Tv was not in the room and very old tv outside. No closet, drink, glasses, towel, or soap in the room. Advertised as a hotel but actually a very low standard budget room operated as a room-stay. Misrepresentation?

Overnight transit to Kapas Island”

We stayed here just for an overnight stay before going to Kapas Island the next morning. Location was perfect as we had planned to take the bus to Marang jetty and the bus terminal is just a hundred metres from the guest house. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Had a nice dinner at Nasi Lemok Bekeng just few doors away from the guest house. For the price we paid it was worth the stay.

Second time stay in UGH. Perfect location.”

Last year we stayed in a budget triple room, it was good for a one-night stay but we didn't really fancy the shared toilet/shower concept. This time around we booked a deluxe triple with attached shower/toilet. Price was good for the room we stayed in. Toilet/shower was recently renovated, could even smell the cement. Super clean. The room itself was clean, carpeted floor, bed was comfortable. We got the city/street view and could see the KT drawbridge towers from our window. We don't watch TV so we don't really mind if there's no TV/satellite channels. They have refrigerator and hot/cold water dispenser on the 1st floor. My only complaint is that they should provide the fridge and water dispenser on each floor. We stayed on the 2nd floor so it is quite a hassle to walk downstairs every time we want to get hot water for our coffee. Location is perfect. Room amenities are basic and sufficient. Overall it was an enjoyable stay for a 3D2N stay in KT.

This place is cheap and very close to bus station. The hotel itself is small, dirty, people smoke inside and it gets in rooms. AC was cold and shower was hot, but Wi-Fi was spotty at best. If you want something nice look elsewhere, but if you want cheap AC room next to bus station this is the place for you. Also twin room was cheaper booking through Agoda.
