Very close to malls and restaurants. Hotel was clean and cozy. Staff were helpful. No Free parking (charged at RM 15 per day) if you've rented a car. As such 2 less star for the facilities.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff was fantastic and super helpful and responsive. Moved me to a room with a view when checking in. Hotel is a little dated in terms of furnishing, but I can’t complain for the price. Felt safe the whole time, 24hr front desk for wacky checkout times, and convenient location across from the mall. Only major complaint is the noise at night. Albeit I was offered a quiet room or a room with a view, but just a little frustrated with waking up around 2-3am every night because of motorcyclists racing down the street.

Disappointed

There's only 2 bath towels. No bar soap to wash your hands. There's bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. Receptionist said that they would bring extra bath towel, but did not. I had stayed there before covid time and service was much better.

The Laundry promise of same day service printed on their notifications in the room was not fulfilled. It was a false promise and created a wardrobe challenge for me. It is important not to mislead and give PRECISE time and date of delivery. In 45 years of intense global travel this has not happened before. Please instruct Gays Centre Hotel ASAP.

갓성비 호텔, 3.5등급은 될거에요

위치가 수리아 사바 바로 옆이라 저녁 10시까지 갈 수도 있어서 너무 좋아요. 호텔 조식은 3성급인데도 매우 훌륭합니다. 가격도 저렴해서 호텔비 줄이고 싶은 한국분들에게 추천합니다. 그리고 생각지도 않은 오션뷰에요. 창문 열면 다들 가까운 오션뷰라서 깜놀할 거에요.

目の前にスリアサバというショッピングセンターがあり便利です。中にはスーパーやダイソーもあります。 それとは別に、ウィズマムルディカというショッピングセンターでは、両替の率がよいのでおススメです。ホテルの近くの海では朝焼け夕焼けがきれいです。その近くのシーフード中心の野外食堂も美味しいですよ。
