Kampung Permatang Pak Elong Holidays

We were very aware that the property is needing a refurbishment and this is reflected in the price. We rarely bothered with breakfast as the quality was not overly good, but again we knew that. The pool is beautiful and the pool and groundsmen pretty good when not arguing with private apartment guests over sun beds (apparently they are not allowed to use). No complaints about the cleanliness and the location is perfect for exploring the island. Right up until the last day we would have considered returning. However, the incompetence and rudeness of reception staff put that very firmly out of our minds. On Friday evening I approached reception to enquire about a late check out on Sunday. A very pleasant member of staff advised me that there was no need to pay for an extension as this was free to longer term guests (2 weeks). We were very happy with this. On Saturday I returned again to reception just to confirm our departure time. We were advised that no such request had been made. And, to be honest were spoken to quite badly, although eventually the staff member did begrudgingly confirm. Today, whilst I was leisurely soaking in the bath, there was a hard angry banging on the door. My husband answered and was faced with another member of reception staff and ‘security’ demanding to know why we hadn’t check out. I felt like a criminal and we decided to get out as early as possible, leaving for the airport 5 hours before required. Won’t be back

Good location. Have a night market across the street. very nice infinity pool and right beside the beach.

Older hotel in beautiful condition. Spacious and well maintained. Within walking distance of the best areas of the old town. Served a nice breakfast. Shopping and restaurants close by. Great place to stay.

My second stay. The hotel ticks all my boxes for travel comfort. Also, an in-house restaurant and rooftop bar for a small hotel is nice.

Stayed here 3 nights in the new wings. Highly recommended for tourists who like to visit Georgetown city core, Walkable to everywhere except to the beaches in Batu Ferringhi. Automated tower Parking is included the suite room.
