Luckily we only booked 1 night in this disgusting hotel. We arrived in Langkawi without accommodation (something i would not do again) and booked one night's stay through one of the airport hotel desks (by baggage reclaim - again, something i would not do again). We were told the room was 225 ringets a night and because of the location (being new to Langkawi) we agreed this. However, upon booking - the price went up to 350 for the night and we were told on the phone by an apparent staff member this was because we were 'foreigners'. We should have just said no there and then but it was late, we were tired and we didn't have a clue where else to stay. OK - so all of this was our own fault, however let me get down to the hotel itself....

Upon arriving, we breathed a sigh of relief, we were in a central location and the building looked nice, but that's where it ended. Arriving in reception, we had to pay the room rate in advance. We were shown a room on the basement floor, there was no one to help us with our bags (even though there was a luggage trolley in reception). The room stunk of sewage, was dark, mouldy and dirty. We refused to stay - we went back to reception and said we wouldn't be staying at the hotel and were told that we wouldn't get a refund but they could give us a room on a high floor, so we felt we had no option byt to have a look. This room (level 4) didn't smell but was grubby, very grubby. The shower head was held into place by an elastic band, nothing had been washed, there were suspicious stains on the walls and the glass in the balcony door was not in it's bracket. There was a tv but the lead was 2 pin and the plug socket 3 pin so couldn't watch this (not that i planned on spending much time in the room at all).

We decided to stay for the one night. In hindsight, i'd rather have swallowed the cost of the room and not bothered. We ended up sleeping in jeans/jumpers on top of the bed sheets with our beach towels on the pillows.

There is no sound proofing and we could hear absolutely anything going on outside the room.

The breakfast room was heaving, food was basic, staff were rude. We couldn't wait to leave in fairness. The thing that shocked me was the amount of families at this hotel. Personally I would not let my children stay in such a place!

Stay on your peril. I won't be returning.

Arrived late at night, very tired and in need of a bed. From the outside in the dark this place looks vey acceptable.....Until you enter the reception. We checked in and were given a room key in a cardboard wallet with the following printed on the front. "Welcome to a paradise amidst a paradise" What it should have read is "Welcome to hell on earth"
We followed the night porter along dark, dirty corridors which where littered with cigarette ends and other rubbish. We eventually got to our room, which was the pits. What a dump!!! The shower looked as though it had never been cleaned, as did the sink (full of little black hairs) The toilet did not stop running once it had been flushed. I had to resort to sticking my hand in to the cistern and giving the ballcock a good yank to stop the flow of water. The room stunk and the sheets where grey, with hairs of all colours .(needless to say not ours) Since coming home we have looked at their website, all looks good!! DON'T BE FOOLED, these photo's must be very old or from another hotel because the place sure as hell doesn't look anything like this. As for the reviews on their own site, well they sound like fairy stories to me or perhaps they were written by people with no sight, sense of smell or functioning brain cells.
We slept on top of our bed. In the morning we did not shower for fear of death by electrocution or disease. Infact we never even opened our luggage. We went to breakfast the next morning as we had arrived the night before, dirty, tired and hungry.
The breakfast was a joke, we were confronted by a sign that read " Guests would be charged 5RM's per 100grams of food they did not eat (this was to prevent food wastage) Next to the sign was a set of kitchen scales to weigh your left overs. I asked if this was a joke, The answer came back, NO!!! We got our food from the buffet, not daring to take too much! (Not that you would want to anyway, it looked grim, but hunger pains forced us) As we sat eating we watched one of the waitresses clearing her nose by inserting her index finger and thumb into her nostrils followed by a paper hanky, which she then continued to fiddle with for a couple of minutes before putting it in to her sleeve (Nice, not) Whilst this girl was transfering snot to various areas of the dinning area we watched a tall lanky waiter squeezing pus from his spot in between clearing food from tables. He proceeded to spread staphlocci from various locations between the dining room and the kitchen. Breakfast left a bitter taste in our mouth and we soon retreated back to our room, picked up our bags and proceeded to reception whereupon we demaded to speak to the manager. As we had paid in advance the previous evening I demanded half our money back. I would have demaded it all back, however we had been able to "sleep" on a bed of sorts, in a room that resembled a store cupboard with a shower, so I thought it was only fair to pay something. We were given half our money back and as we gathered our thoughts in reception we met 2 other couples who were also checking out after staying one night. They had believed the rubbish on their web site. If you come to Langkawi DON'T STAY HERE, NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!! IF NEEDS BE SWIM TO ANOTHER ISLAND!!!!!!!

Amazingly, their Deluxe Room is way bigger than what we have expected. With two king size double bed, balcony, a cupboard, chairs and coffee table, there are a lot more space for us to move around.

However, the swimming pool is kind of dirty. The water is unclear, with algae spotted in certain part.

Breakfast was so-so only with local dishes. Limited choices.

Location wise, though the resort is quite a distance away from the attractions and Kuah Town, but Langkawi is easily accessible. I would recommend travellers to rent a car. It would be easier to self-driver around Langkawi island. It would be handy to bring a map with you.

Aseania was a good stay. They have this nice big pool with slides on two sides so kids will love it here. Also the staff was quite professional and we weren't bothered at all. A little pricey but then again langkawi is a honeymoon destination. You wouldn't usually go for a backpacking trip :)
