Raia Hotel, Kuala Terengganu: A Quick Stay Review
The Basics
Price: RM214.62 via Trip .com
Deposit: None
It's been a while since I've done a hotel review! Life's been hectic since finishing my studies and getting back to work. It feels like every spare moment is precious, making hotel reviews a bit of a luxury. 😆
So, seizing the opportunity, I want to share my thoughts on a hotel that caught my eye during a recent business trip to Terengganu. Ready? Let's dive in!
What I Loved
- ✅ The Raia Hotel boasts a fantastic location near the airport. Perfect for anyone concerned about flight schedules and logistics.
- ✅ The rooms are seriously spacious! You could probably pitch a couple of tents in there! 😆
- ✅ A welcome touch: complimentary apples are available upon check-in from a basket at the front desk.
- ✅ Complete toiletries provided, including a shaver.
- ✅ The highlight: breakfast! Seriously worth it. Walk-in price is RM35, but only RM28 if you pay during check-in!
- ✅ And yes, the breakfast spread is impressive! I especially appreciated the hotel's focus on Terengganu cuisine, featuring local dishes like nasi dagang, boiled yam (my first time trying it!), and pulut nyior. Check out the photos!
- ✅ Last but not least, a smart TV! Perfect for streaming Netflix, YouTube, and more. Yeah!
Areas for Improvement
Please don't take this personally; just honest feedback for potential improvements! 🤩
- 🤔 I wasn't too keen on one staff member in the cafe during breakfast. I smiled, but didn't get a smile back. In fact, they gave me an up-and-down look. I wonder why? Or maybe I misinterpreted it? Hmm...
- 🤔 When I looked at the marble and cement work in the bathroom, I felt like redoing it myself. It seemed a bit rough. Maybe it was just me. 😅
Regarding the gym, swimming pool, and other facilities, I'm not sure. I didn't have time to fully explore. I checked in at 10 PM and checked out before 8 AM. 😭
Overall Impression
However, overall, I really liked this hotel.
Insha'Allah, if I'm in Kuala Terengganu again, I would definitely consider staying here again. Absolutely!
Thank you.
