Hin Loi Guesthouse

This hotel has lots of homely touches and it is certainly a great place to stay. My room had everything I needed and a nice big window. The restaurant downstairs is excellent and that is where you get your breakfast, included in the room price. I had lunch there twice and I highly recommend you give it a try, but certain dishes run out, so have a midday lunch to get the full range of options. It is a 15 minute walk to Tanjung Aru Beach, which is a great place for sunsets, enjoying the market, or walking up or down the beach to enjoy the scenery.

Very clean and comfortable, shared bathroom was always clean and had shower gel in there for use. Location is right next to restaurants and shops but a bit out of the way. Breakfast is included, you can choose 2 local pastries from the cafe downstairs which we enjoyed. Also I want to give a special mention to a young girl who works in the cafe downstairs, we didn’t get her name but she has ginger hair and her English is very good. She always looked out for us and assisted us every morning in choosing a pastry and getting us coffees promptly. She is an asset to the team.

Absolutely brilliant place, close to the airport, away from the noise of the city, close to the beach for sunset watching, kopitiam downstairs, small market, a couple of traditional grocery shops and a little coffee shop next door for a very good coffee and croissants. We liked the large room with big windows, the shared living room and the common kitchen with access to boiling water for tea, a rice cooker and cooking gear. Get yourself a motorbike and you are good to go.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Out of hours check in worked perfectly. We caught a grab taxi from the airport for 9myr (£1.50). The room was spacious, very clean, fabulous big comfortable bed. A desk, hanging space for clothes, good Aircon and a fan. Nice bathroom with hot shower. There is also a kitchen here which had all cooking facilities and also very clean. First morning - we were greeted at breakfast, which is downstairs at the café place underneath and served with tea/coffee and a selection of pastries which were delicious. Alex - our host was helpful and accommodating, we would definitely stay here again.

the local kopitiam just downstairs is a sure bonus! tried the homemade char siew pao - so yummy! easy access for grab & seafood restaurants. 10mins walk to Tg Aru beach. I also appreciate the water filter and high water pressure for shower. Bed is firm & nice. It was a nostalgic stay!
