“I shortened my stay from 4 nights to just 1 night”

Kondo Istana Langkawi

I couldn't give it just one star because it wasn't horrible, but it was close. The condo was pretty big, but that didn't make up for all the shortcomings of this place.

The bathroom had mold and mildew in many places, including the shower curtain (which really needed to be replaced). There was no hot water when I took a shower (there's a button outside the bathroom that you have to press to turn on the hot water, but no directions on how to use it. Furniture was old in the bedroom, but actually nice in the living room. Sheets on the bed looked like they were permanently stained, and washing wouldn't help. The bottom sheet was just a top flat sheet turned sideways, so that left about 12 inches of the mattress exposed at the bottom where your feet go. 2 split air conditioning units, but every time you leave the apartment and take the key out of the slot, the circuit breakers have to be reset on each A/C unit.

There were ants all over the kitchen, including inside the refrigerator, despite the fact that there was no food for them to eat. The breakfast buffet was the worst I've ever seen in all my travels. The food consisted of oily rice, oily noodles, cut up hot dogs and white bread with no toaster. I took the bread up to my apartment and used the toaster there. You should know that this part of town is pretty boring, with no beach... only shops to go to. I would not stay here again.

“Functional but Satisfactory Hotel”

5/5 found this review helpful

Went to Kondo Istana for a meeting. The room I got was in an apartment suite. I would call it functional - sofa set, dining room furniture, very basic kitchen and the room had a built-in wardrobe, with dressing table and bed. Don't expect a luxurious experience. But it's located behind City Bayview Hotel and of course, right in front of City Bayview are the duty-free shops. Not complaining because I just wanted to have a room to rest in and access to the shops. I would recommend this hotel to families and those on a budget.
