we booked in advance, then we called from the harbour again, they promised to pick us up, but suddenly the car was broken. finaly gone there and there was no room available. they showed us a room, which was stinky and smelling of old shoes and sweating. so dont trust them when you book there. terrible place!

I was lucky that I turned the property next door down and kept walking as this group of chalets is a hidden gem in the centre of Cenang's strip.

The owner is very friendly and helpful. Room is nic. But not all the rooms with hot shower. If you are looking for a low cost staying place with good service, this is the one.
