Hotel Darulmakmur — Hotel in Pahang

Was on a working trip to Jerantut recently, and decided to stay here for a night.||||The Hotel Darul Makmur is located in the old town section, just opposite the police station. The location of the hotel in Google maps is wrongly located.||||Upon reaching the hotel, a few flights of stairs leads from the road towards the reception. There is a small lounge to the right of the reception.||||Check-in was in a couple of minutes, and there was a slight mix up with my booking. I booked a executive room, but was given a junior executive room. But this is just for a night stay, so it's still ok for us.||||A small elevator is located on the right reception area. Our junior executive room is located on the first floor.||||Our room was spacious, with the floors fully carpeted. I like the idea that the floor in front of the bathroom was tiled. The bathroom was spacious, and quite bare, but adequate, with a instant water heater.||||There is a queen-size bed and a single bed in our room. The beds were clean and comfortable. The pillows were soft, fluffy, clean and comfortable as well. The air-cond unit cools our room effectively.||||Behind the hotel is the Tepian restaurant, which serves nice food.||||Our room comes with complimentary breakfast at the Tepian restaurant. The breakfast was average, but acceptable with usual fried noodles, baked beans, fried chicken, toast, cereals, fruits and cakes.||||Overall, I thinks this is one of the better hotels in a small town...

Good things at Hotel Darul Makmur:

• Great location, near many restaurants. • Very spacious room with a good bathroom, and the air conditioning works well. • The hotel price is reasonable and includes breakfast. • Breakfast is excellent—10/10.

However, as someone who has traveled a lot (including during pregnancy), the hotel could improve on the following:

• Wi-Fi: I booked this hotel after calling to confirm the Wi-Fi was working. Unfortunately, when I checked in, the Wi-Fi didn’t work, and after multiple attempts, the receptionist finally said there was an issue, which was frustrating. The front desk is far, and it would have been better if they informed me earlier. No apology was given either.

• Communication: Since there’s no phone in the rooms, the hotel should provide a mobile number or WhatsApp contact for quicker responses.

• Breakfast Policy: I was surprised that I wasn’t allowed to sit in the café to work after 10 a.m. As a pregnant woman, I would have appreciated some flexibility. Considerate I just sit not eat little longer, maybe until 10:30 or 11:00 a.m., would help.

Sincerely, from a pregnant woman who rarely complains but had to make a list of complaints because I’m super sad and this working trip has been exhausting. I hope your hotel...

Surprisingly Jerantut, Pahang is a big town and Hotel Darulmakmur is the best hotel there. This hotel has a 2 stars rating but they are upgrading their facilities and rooms soon. The hotel has 39 rooms only but upgrading to 70 rooms. The room I stayed is small but the bed was confertable. Room aminities is sufficient including coffee & tea facilities and few Astro chanel. The room is priced RM98.00 nett without breakfast. They have a banquet hall that fits 100 people for dining and 3 small seminar rooms. The breakfast restaurant (Sri Makmur) is small but cozy. They can cater only 40 persons per meal period. To my disbelief, they also offer Room service which I can't get at any 2 stars hotel in Malaysia. At night, dinner is served at 'Tepian Darul Makmur'. which is an open space area. The pricing at 'Tepian darul Makmur' is very reasonable and tasty. Overall, staffs were friendly but shy. Looking forward to stay again especially after they...
