We booked from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor, the driver is prompt, arrived before time, but they are mindful in waiting beyond the free wait time so keep that in mind and be punctual to avoid any hassle

Booking the pickup through Klook was very convenient. The driver messaged me a day in advance to confirm the pickup time and location. He was very polite and patient, making the whole experience smooth and pleasant.

My son loves this place because the kids' pool has slides. This is my second stay here. This is an old hotel, but the management takes good care of it. Just that.. There are places where the piping smells clogged, so maybe that should be fixed. The wifi is great! and the beach is just behind the hotel. overall is good!
