Padungan Hotel — Hotel in Borneo

This is a very basic hotel and therefore difficult to understand its high rating. I stayed in Room 409 and encountered many problems.||It was noisy especially the aircon which is right next to the bed and vibrates all the time. So much so that I slept without aircon for half my stay. Also early in the morning someone was dragging and scraping furniture around. My complaint about this to Reception just elicited a shrug of the shoulders!||The bathroom is very small and basic. No shelving to put things on. Even the sink is very small and just enough to balance a toothbrush on it. The water pressure was good but the shower design meant it was liable to flood the bathroom. They also give very poor, cheap toiletries.||The room cleaning is very quick, basic and cursory.||There is a pillar in the centre of the room which gets in the way!||The TV only has 5 channels!||Btw, my room was a Premier Room so I would hate to have booked a Standard Room!||Finally, and this is obviously not the hotel's fault, but Malaysia adds a tourist tax of RM10 per night for all foreign visitors.

the padungan hotel is a small modern place located on padungan street , close to some chinese cafes and the very convenient ' everrise ' supermarket and within easy walking distance to the waterfront .||it is a very ' functional ' place - by that i mean that it has zero decoration anywhere , all the walls are white and unadorned , it could fit anywhere in the world but then again it ' s modern and convenient . i had a double room on the 4 floor ( they have an elevator ) , it was spacious and airy with a window to the street .

This is the best hotel in this price range i ever stayed in. The hotel is really clean and the staff are friendly. It is not a big hotel but it is well managed with excellent service. Located in the middle of China town where you easily find food especially chinese food. Few minute walks to the waterfront, cat monument, waterfront bazaar, nearby shopping mall also souvenirs shop and bars. Good job guys! Definitely will recommend people to stay here.||PS: I booked the hotel via Traveloka and they offered cheaper price compare to...
