We stayed here for 2 nights, which cost us RM240 for 4 persons with a deposit of RM50 to be returned after check-out. We got a room with 2 double beds. Few steps walking distance to the Cenang Beach. Air con/fan, minibar, tv with local channels, hot/cold shower. Overall, it is simple and just nice for us to have a... More

You have to remember reviews (mine) are in accordance to the level/standard/rating of the hotel. So, don't expect any outstanding facilities. The previous reviews mentioned lacking customer service and they were right. On checking in, paying for your room and key deposit, we were pointed to across the road (not beach side) with our toilet paper in hand :( We... More

We stayed here for one night only. The rooms were basic with old fashioned bed and decor. The bathroom too was basic but fine. We only spent a few hours in the room to sleep, so for us it was OK. I found the staff the be friendly and helpful. The location is good, but this is definitely a backpacker... More

We checked into the AB Motel in Feb'12 for 2 Nights. The best part of the Hotel is the location..bang on pantai cenang and right on the beach. The Hotel has 2 parts - 1 on the beach and the other across the road away from the beach but 2 min walk to the beach. The staff at the reception... More

Langkawai is a very beautiful island yet is inadequately served with decent mid class hotels. I struggled to find accommodation upon arrival and out of desperation booked in at AB. The reception staff are rude and totally unhelpful, it's a case of take it or leave it and here's the key and go find your room yourself(not easy because the... More

Ok. Mixed reviews for this place, but it was one of the best places I stayed at on my trip. As people say, there are 2 sites, (1) on the beach, noisy, and (2) across the road, more peaceful. The across the road rooms are in 2 buildings, and this means 3 categories. Category 1 is the downstairs rooms in... More

Good place to stay, there is cheaper but not anywhere I stayed as nice as AB. Some people complain others don't, i guess it depends on your attitude and a little to do with luck. I stayed there for about 2 weeks and didnt have any complaints. The resort is popular because it's reliable. As two young girls travelling we... More

We stayed here for three nights in January 2012. The rooms are clean and modern and good value for money.The only criticism I can find is that our room did not have a safe and was very light at night because of the corridor lighting outside. However I would recommend them as a good place to stay More
