Hotels near Rahmat Maritime Museum, Lumut

As this is obviously a review of a 1 star budget hotel a 3 star rating aint too bad imo. We paid for 3 double rooms for 1 night. The cost was £39 / 211MYR. When we arrived, it turns out that 1 of our rooms was not available because the previous guest took the keys, tv remote and aircon switch home with him. We ended up getting 1 twin room and 1 double room instead but no discount. The rooms are up 1 or 2 flights of stairs, depending what room you get, so if you have heavy luggage like we did, prepare for a workout as there is no lift. The rooms are tiny and even with 2 ppl and bags it feels too cramped. They are also quite dark and I am not sure the locks would survive even a light kick, so be wary of leaving your valuables. The rooms were of average cleanliness, the AC was very good, especially since its such a small room, we did not try the TV. The shower is noisy and there is no bathroom ventilation. There was also a frequent scent of sewage from the bathroom drain which was present in both rooms we booked. Probably the worst aspect is the soundproofing... or complete lack of it. You can hear every single noise and this is no joke. People walking past, opening the entrance (loud alarm noise each time the door opens at all hours of the night), people running their shower. There were kids faffing about in the hall at all hours of the night and day treating it like a playground. We stayed at opposite ends of the same floor and my cousin said she heard me laughing at a joke from my room down the hall. The hotel also lost all water pressure for half an evening. Not sure if this was a hotel fault or a supply issue so will not mark them down for this. Manager was friendly and responsive, quick to solve problems. Malay receptionist could have been a bit more on the ball but it was ramadan so perhaps she was tired from fasting. Overall, we used this as an emergency booking for a 1 night stay. It did the job.

We stayed here one night with a tour group. Room and bed were clean and cosy. There is a swimming pool and reading room but we had no chance to use them. Breakfast was decent with a noodle counter. Salad was available. Porridge was not hot - it could be due to the electricity of the pot was not switched on.

This is our first time stay here! It’s a good experience. The resort is beautiful as per photos shown. Just perhaps in future a clearer instruction for the location of registration would be nice. But overall staying here is good and near to Pantai too 😉

Easy access to foods nearby, shopping by walking distance . Really need to upgrade the hotel , the mattress need to change .. mattress is really important for guest who staying..

The location is quite nice as it's seated right in front of Teluk Batik beach (can read my review for the beach separately). The hotel : No make up room (throw your own garbage, sweep your own floor, make your own bed), stingy coffee making facility (the kettle is around with 2 packs of each coffee/tea/sugar) , bad furniture (I mean bad, not ugly not old or dated), unwise location of electrical outlets (3 inches from the floor & 1 foot from the ceiling), stingy with the pillow (1 for each visitor & RM10/night/pillow if you asked for extra) & tiny so-called queen beds (not suitable if you & your couple weight at 70+ kg). If you are someone looking for a quiet-surrounding hotel, this is not for you. Simply because you'll be entertained with all the noises coming from the running & yelling of parents & their kids on the hallway and with some luck, you'll hear their footsteps above you. The receptionists are not particularly friendly. Don't expect a warm welcome.

To all the Swiss Garden Beach Resort's Staff, We would like to thank each and everyone of you for making this family day event even more successful especially Ms.Sunitha. She is a wonderful and friendly person to be liased with. Each and every message she responded in a quickest way made me so convenient to converse with her. Regarding buffet management we are much satisfied with all the preparations made table arrangements as per requested, fresh seafoods, all the chef and staff members in Gayam were wonderful people and had never failed to serve us with their smiling faces especially Mr Amir yusof. Room check in, We felt much appreciated with your warmth welcome approaches made by Ms Sunitha and Mr Vikneswaran. Ms Sunitha had given a chance to us to check in much earlier than your resort's fixed time. Overally we were stunned with all your staff and services. I am really sorry if i left out anyone to be thanked here. I am much grateful with you Ms Sunitha without you i personally think that this event would not be successful.

Pros: Clean, comfortable beds & pillows, white towels quite thick for a budget hotel, strong water pressure, reliable hot water, quiet surrounding, has a good drinking water machine where we can refill our tumblers. Has a clothes line in the bathroom. Room door uses sensor key. Can control room air cond temperature. Cons: When someone in the next room showers, the noise of the water is very loud. Shower area not separated from toilet area so the floor gets wet but luckily the bathroom is large so there is still a small area that does not get wet. No lift. Only street parking where you have to pay. Security not good enough. Anyone can enter & go up to the rooms. The receptionist won't know unless they stand up as they sit behind a high counter.

This hotel is situated at one of the more strategic locations at Pangkor Island, i.e. along the popular Pasir Bogak beach on the west coast of Pangkor. It is a two-storey, low density hotel, whereby rooms on the ground floor have direct access to the swimming pool via their sliding glass doors. This was the first hotel I've stayed at since my childhood or teenage years, which still uses the conventional key drop system at the lobby (i.e. leave things inside your room at your own risk!). Nevertheless, the room that I got (i.e. the Super Deluxe Room, with 2 queen beds) was quite ok, and was able to fit my family comfortably. They also provide a generous allocation of both bath and pool towels in the room as well. The only issue we encountered was that the overhead shower in our bathroom was not working, therefore we could only use the hand shower. On a good weather day, the Pasir Bogak beach provides a beautiful sunset view, while during the morning, you can also enjoy the cool breeze as you enjoy your breakfast at their sea-fronting cafeteria. Although only a limited array of items are available for the breakfast, but they even have an action stall for eggs. At only 10 minutes' drive/ride from the jetty, this hotel is also within walking distance to multiple places of convenience, incl. eateries such as seafood as well as local street-fare, and even a duty-free outlet.

We have just completed a 6 night stay at this lovely hotel and can thoroughly recommend it. We were allocated room 62 which was everything we wanted, very spacious with a big bed and a strong warm shower. It also had a front facing balcony with a sea view. A big than you to the cleaner who serviced our room very well, it was always immaculately clean and smelled very nice. The breakfast choice was just right, a egg station was available for choice of eggs, there was also a noodle station and my favourite...Roti Canai. The staff in the dining room were quick to clear tables and all the food tasted nice, so thank you to the chefs and the staff. The reception staff were always available and very pleasant, it was also good to have a permanent security guard at the front of the hotel, he was always smiling and helpful, a very nice man. Thank you for your assistance with our luggage and helping us park our motor cycle etc. The hotel also has a very nice swimming pool and loungers, with towels available. So really it ticks all the boxes for a great stay and the nightly price rates are very reasonable. I can highly recommend this hotel.

My husband and I chose to have our honeymoon at Pangkor Laut Resort two days after our wedding, and it was the best trip of our lives so far. We had a good first impression of the resort even before we reached the resort. We had arranged in advance for land transfer from Ipoh airport to Marina Island Pangkor, and we thought to have the driver pick us up at 10am even though our flight landed at 8.30am (just in case we faced delays with our flight or at immigration) but we were surprised when he was already waiting for us when we landed at 8.30am. After a 1.5h road trip from the airport to the office, we were welcomed with a refreshing drink and towel, and was then escorted to PLR on a speedboat with one other couple (which made us feel special, haha). Upon arrival at the resort, we were again welcomed with a little refreshment and had a staff attend to us immediately, helping us to plan our itinerary for the rest of the week that we were staying there. As we were still early and the rooms were not ready, we had lunch at the Feast Village and then rested in the library, which was very cosy with a good selection of books (only downside was there were so many house lizards, though I am not sure if anything could be done to prevent them from coming). Our room at the Garden Villa was wide and spacious, and we received a congratulatory drink from the resort to celebrate our wedding as well. (It was a nice gesture, but nothing could compare to the attentiveness of the different staff we met over the week, who, upon noticing the henna stains on our hands, congratulated us warmly in person). We also loved that the Garden Villa was so near to the Feast Village and Uncle Lim's Kitchen, which we kept going back to for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, as the food options across the two kitchens were varied and more importantly, delicious. The service at the kitchens were also amazing - Chef Liza was so friendly and approachable that she made us feel at home, and Masum and Nadim went out of their way to make each dining experience feel special for us (such as seating us at places where we would have unobstructed views of the beach, and offering to take photos of us without us even thinking of it). Other experiences we had at the resort were going for the jungle walk, swimming at Emerald Bay and having lunch at Chapman's Bar, and yoga. However, our favourite activity on the resort was going for the spa experience. It was so refreshing and phenomenal, and truly, no other spa can beat PLR's spa. We were pampered from head to toe, and the different bath experiences set the spa apart from other spas out there. The staff were also so knowledgeable and generous with sharing what they know, that both my husband and I learnt so much about the natural ingredients used in our sessions. Definitely made the experience more meaningful and personal for us, and after a hectic wedding weekend, the spa made us feel well rested and rejuvenated. We also got a free room upgrad
