"Please dont expect much with a budget hotel like this. It is a good place to rest as i was out most of the day. If u are searching for luxury place to rest inside the hotel most of time, then this is not a hotel for you. If you are looking for cheap hotel to hike at kodiang at kedah, and move around perlis then this is a good hotel to stay. Parking always available at night as well in front of the hotel. "

"Location: Great location in the Arau town. Close to the Uitm (5 minutes), Kangar 15 mins, and Kuala Perlis 25minutes. There were shops nearby, 7-Eleven just next door, food is not hard to get. it even had a big supermarket at the back, just walking distance. Room: we were greeted with a lovely scent of the lobby. It was a shoplot area where the rooms were located upstairs. We stayed in the Standard Twin room; too small but comparing it with the price I would say it's affordable. Clean beds and toilet, clean room. Aircond was working well, LCD TV has a few satellite channels, also had hot and cold shower with average water pressure. The quality of the mattress was not that good. No window so we didn't know what's the weather like outside. Extra note: Would only suggest if you are staying alone or with a partner for a short trip or when you are on a holiday which involve outdoors activity and you need a place to rest your head after a day out. More than 2 persons, the room would be really packed. For Muslims, very limited space to pray inside the room, you need to adjust a bit to follow to Qibla, am not sure if they had a prayer room outside though Parking: You can park your car in front of the hotel or at the back. The area at the back was really dark at night and not suitable for women who travel alone. The safety of our vehicle was also not guaranteed as it was an open car park (not only for hotel customers) Staff was friendly, they had our Agoda form readily printed when we checked in around 7pm. But the phone number that was printed in our hotel voucher was not the correct one, because I called up the number to know the exact location (location not detected my gps) and it was actually the phone number of a motel in Alor Setar."
