Hotel a Pancang Bedena, Malaysia

They call this a “homestay,” which almost deterred me from staying here. It’s actually a pleasant hotel that just lacks a 24 hour front desk — I think it’s staffed during daylight hours — and relies on an electronic kiosk for check in and check out. There’s no cafe or restaurant, but there are food vending machines in the lobby and restaurants nearby. You’ll want to come with your own transportation. That said, we had a very pleasant stay there, and if you don’t require hotel services, you will too. The hotel is located in one of the many concrete, box-like structures that you’ll see in the padi fields around Sekinchan. These used to be commercial nesting houses for the swiftlets whose saliva nests are used to make birds’ nest soup. Normally the swiftlets nest in caves in remote areas, which makes harvesting the nests difficult. But if you have plenty of swiftlets and no caves, as in Sekinchan, you can build an artificial cave and have a business. I guess that business didn’t thrive, and many of these bird nest houses have been repurposed into alternative uses like this one. The hotel is constructed entirely of concrete (floors, walls, ceilings). The rooms are adequate in size with a huge window providing an excellent view over the rice fields. The rooms are immaculate; air conditioning is good; and a station providing filtered drinking water is available next to the elevator on each floor to refill your water bottles. The kiosk-based check in and check out works well, but is inflexible. If you want to extend your stay you still have to use the kiosk to check out on your original date of departure and check in again. Even though you’re paying for the next day, the kiosk still will charge you a significant penalty if you don’t complete the check out by 12 o’clock check out time. This is weird and inconvenient (and the front desk staff don’t tell you these details), but if you know the rule you can easily manage it. The limited front desk staff speak only Chinese, with the exception of one older lady who frequently isn’t there but is reachable by phone. The hotel has a few set ups in the back (swing, heart-shaped seat and staircase to nowhere) to help you get Instagram-worthy photos on the spot. These seemed to be very popular with young couples staying there. There are several casual restaurants nearby, including a good Vietnamese restaurant just a couple of blocks away, plus lots of Chinese restaurants. (The population of Sekinchan is 80% Chinese.) I came here to photograph the abundant kingfishers that nest in the banks of the irrigation canals running through the rice fields. Padi Sentral was perfect for my needs — comfortable room, perfect location, inexpensive).

Ho prenotato 3 camere senza colazione per questo hotel attraverso Agoda , è vicino al mio ristorante preferito Poh per cena , il famoso ristorante Masta Ghani per Mee Rebus è stato come 3 minuti di cammino .. la stanza era spaziale, fornendo un piatto extra nel piccolo tavolo, ha un ascensore che era grande per i miei genitori anziani .. finora così buon soggiorno

Room 102 (junior suite), water pressure for shower was too low even though the room just at ground floor. The bed sheet including pillow cover and towel a little bit too old (have a torn here and there). In such of the condition, it is not proper to use for the guest who paid for the best service and facilities. The ventilation for The Rumbia Coffee House (for breakfast) was not so good as the smoke from the cooking has filled the dining room and the smell was attached to the clothes of the guest. Other than that, it was okay. Affordable for family of 4 person (2 adults and 2 children). My daughters having so much fun swimming at the pool. The room so suitable and privacy for the family as it is have a partition between 2 single beds and 1 queen bed. The food at the coffee house (having breakfast) was not disappoint. The staffs (at the receptionist, coffee house ) was so friendly and very helpful. Thank you for the hospitality and services that was given for your guest. Keep up the good work.

This hotel is very easy to access, a lot of parking space provided. Near to main road, but not congested with a vehicle.. Staff is very friendly, room looks like newly refurbished and very clean. Got the lift, and lobby area very nice and comfortable. Swimming pool also suitable for kids. Wifi provided, the water pressure very good.

Anche in una grande città come Ipoh, si trovano assai pressioni per trovare hotel adatto ai turisti. Il design è un po 'antico, con corridoi non climatizzati, le moderne strutture sono piuttosto ben arredate. Il wifi era stabile e il flusso d'acqua calda era coerente. Situato proprio fuori della città principale, tutto ciò che ci vuole è un 5 minuti di auto. La posizione permette anche di tornare rapidamente alla autostrada NS senza combattere il traffico mattinale ricco. Solo lungo la strada principale è il popolo ristorante di cibo marino Tai Chong. La stanza gemella che avevamo era sufficientemente grande e si sente molto domestico. Il condizionamento d'aria è il tipo di multi-unità di divisione di famiglia, in modo che la temperatura possa essere controllata meglio di quella dei tipici sistemi centrali nella maggior parte degli hotel. Il caffè al lobby fa un buon caffè sorprendente.Mi dispiace di aver avuto solo il mio ultimo giorno di partenza.
