Oceania Hotel
3.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very Good, (515)
"The room was comfortable, sufficiently spacious, and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was really good.... if you know it will be an Asian/Malaysian meal. i.e. rice, beef and chicken curries (mild), eggs, and good sauces. There was also toast, jam, cereals, juice and tea or coffee. Coffees from the espresso machine cost extra."

Chimera Hotel
3.0 star property
7.6 out of 10, Good, (10)
"Great value room, very nicely laid out and modern. Only niggle was that the previous guest had smoked in the bathroom and the one evening I stayed, I could smell cigarettes in the corridor from another room. Not much the staff can do about idiots breaking the rules without knocking on every door, so not a fault of the hotel. Also, I stayed only one night so its probably not the norm. I would definitely recommend!"

3.0 star property
7.8 out of 10, Good, (363)
"the interior of hotel is good, but the exterior building would need a coat of paint. i will consider staying there again. maybe have a safe deposit box in each room - why ? your clients will want to go to pulau, so they can lock their passport and valuables in the room , rather than using the front safe. SO PLS IMPLEMENT A SAFE IN EACH ROOM INCLUDING ECONOMY ROOMS WITHOUT WINDOWS AT LEVEL 2. "
