Telaga Harbour is 15 km from The Sassy House, while Langkawi Cable Car is 21 km from the property. The nearest airport is Langkawi International Airport, 6 km from the hostel.

I recently booked my wife's stay at The Sassy House, and I must say that it was a wonderful experience. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and the price was very affordable considering the convenience of its location. What stood out the most was the lady at the reception, who was incredibly sweet and cooperative. She went above and beyond to help my wife with information about the area and even fixed a booking mistake made by our travel agency. Moreover, she was kind enough to make a taxi reservation for my wife at dawn to the airport, which was greatly appreciated. It was evident that she was a strong, independent woman who manages the business on her own with great care and attention to detail. Overall, the experience at The Sassy House was exceptional, and we wish the hotel and its owner great success in the future. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Langkawi.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

It’s easy to find, great location and is in walking distance of everything you need to see in Pantai Chenang/Chenang Walk.

    The hostel was a great location, close to the beach! It was good value for money and the private room was exactly what we needed for our time there (3nights). June was helpful - we booked the mangrove tour with him and would 100% recommend (it was interesting and good value) and the bar at the back of the hostel was also good and cheap drinks!

    Great location (close to restaurants, beaches, scooter rentals, taxi stand). The bed and pod were comfy and clean. The dorm room itself was big and spacious (with a couch). Probably one of the cleanest hostels I've stayed at! Would definitely book again.
