Arked Niaga Padang Besar, Padang Besar Yakınlarındaki Oteller

Put up at the Seri Malaysia Kangar, the biggest SM hotel yet, very spacious. Even the room i occupied had an adjoining TV room and separate bathroom. A swimming pool for families qualifies this hotel as a 4 star. However, one funny detail is in the room service menu. While two columns denoted that the time to order was between 10am and 10pm, the last column showed that last order to be 11pm. So i called to order supper only to be told sorry sir last order 10pm! Didnt want to lock horns and settled instead for the Godiva choc pretzels i bought at the airport. But would have still preferred to sample the nasi goreng special as its glossy menu advertised Breakfast the next day was predictably SM but one item caught my eye: glutinous rice or pulut with salted fish and coconut flakes. Added a chicken sambal to make it a little spicy; this alone restored my faith in SM.

Although I've been to this hotel with my family a long time ago, I was determined to one day write a review about it because it was so bad. Today, I finally got around to doing so. I could still remember the hotel as clear as yesterday because it stuck in my mind, or more specifically, the smell stuck in my mind. To be fair, the only bad thing about the hotel was the smell. However, the smell was not just in our room. The whole hotel had a funny smell.

Location: 10/10; - The location of the hotel is in the city town and finding food is quite easy or nearby if having a vehicle to travel in short distance. Cleanliness: 6/10; - The room cleanliness is still okay with certain acceptance. It is an old hotel and nothing to be surprised when there's several unattended space covers with some dust; Functionality: 5/10; The hotel is a very old hotel and there are some cosmetic areas in the room that need to be fixed up properly. Such example the air condition is very old and takes some time to cool the entire room; There's also not so many wall plugs for electrical connections in the room. I can recall only have one or 2 that is already in used inside the room for lighting, water boiler and TV connections; Bathroom Condition: 6/10; The water heater is still functional, and the heating of the water is quite consistently good. The bathroom is clean and acceptable; Room Space: 10/10: The room is quite spacious with queen bed size. The room comes with a table that can be multi functional use. Room Condition: 6/10; The wall of the room is quite old and pale; The wall is also quite thin and not that soundproof if there is a loud noise in between rooms. Although the hotel is very old, but this is the only best hotel available in Perlis location. Therefore, the circumstances have make us not to be picky and seems to be the only best ideal condition available staying in this hotel and the rest others' accommodation will be very small hotels or motels in other Perlis location.

Great alternative to the well-known Putra Regency. Strategic location - 7E, Dominos n Secret Recipe across the road and importantly, Self Laundry Bar just few shop lots down the lane. Basic room just nice for people to sleep and spend most of their time outside for sightseeing
