Al-Aidid Homestay, Kota Bharu


Al-Aidid Homestay

Al-Aidid Homestay
KB City Point
Kota Bharu, Kelantan

Al-Aidid Homestay

Booking - I booked using airbnb. A very last minute thing.

Rate - Good. RM336 for 2 nights

Location - Excellent! Within walking distance or short drive to many Kota Bharu's attractions

Dining - NA

Service - Good. No room service obviously. Just family member of owner(s) handing the keys and escorting up to room. Check-out was leaving the room keys in a drop box. Super simple.

Just one con and that is noise. Like if there are noisy kids in the hallway, you can hear them. Loud and clear.

4 <3<3<3<3 of 5 kisses!

Al-Aidid Homestay Kota Bharu
Pretty complete. Just no cooking

Clean washroom

It's a nice place for couples and group of friends (they have 3 units). Thin wall though. If you're a light sleeper, you might feel irritated especially if the neighbours (mostly homestays) are noisy.

They offer good selection of menu. The fried rice was mine and my companions ordered chicken curry kapitan and the other one cannot remember what he ordered. So I guess it was a hit and miss.

Not really a place to hangout but okay for quiet dinner.

Bayan Lepas, Penang


Check out this hotel with private pool in all their rooms! Oh and nice view too.

Less than 15 minutes drive from Penang Airport (5.3 km), it's perfect for tourists looking for alternative area than the famous (and busy) Georgetown. It can also be a one-night stop before you leave Penang. 

The parking & corridor was very service-apartment-like, I did not put high expectation on the room. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The suite was perfect, I didn't want to leave. Well, almost perfect but we'll get there.

BEAUTIFUL bathroom BUT...

my only complain is about the bathroom floor, specifically the drainage system. It wasn't designed properly and if you use the (heavenly) shower/rainwater shower, the bathroom gets flooded :(
Lucky there's that nice bathtub :D

Oh yeah. Another issue is thin walls but it's only a problem if you get noisy neighbours.

Anyway... if you need to do your lapses, there's a proper outdoor swimming pool.

Buffet breakfast was included with the room rate and IT WAS SO DELICIOUS!

Lexis Suites Penang
From top left: cheese plate, fruits & juices, omelette station, my delicious breakfast (2nd round), pastries and cakes and toast, and my first plate.

Booking - Easy via various platforms. I used Agoda
Rate - RM471.12 per night for Premium Pool Suites (SO WORTH IT)
Location - Quiet, near airport. Need transport to get to Georgetown and most of Penang attractions
Dining - DELICIOUS buffet breakfast
Service - Friendly and fuss-free

The food and mocktails are given names from P.Ramlee's movies. Don't worry, they have a description. Otherwise you can ask the friendly waitress for clarification.

Good food, friendly and very accommodating service. However, seats are limited so you might want to book in advance (no joke) or be prepared to wait especially for dinner. Food also took some time to arrive, the kitchen was obviously busy that night- it was weekday!

They have rooms for rent upstairs, in case you're a tourist in need of accommodation. Check out their Facebook- Shanghai 1910 Heritage Hotel, Penang
