    You might get disappointed if you are hoping for a Nice swimming pool and served breakfast. Outdoor space is really just that, a space outside, and breakfast is toast and cereal you can take.

    I had the private room with bathroom and window, this was spacious, clean and comfortable. Location was nice. Staff was friendly and explained where to get the bus to Bako etc.

    This place needs a little bit of work to be cozy/attractive again. The rooftop is very dirty now, but it has a lot of potential. The pool was empty which was a bit disappointed for us. It can be much more than it is right now.

    Wayne was very kind. He responded very quickly when there was a question/problem. A lot of toilets and showers! Perfect location, close to foodshops, waterfront, shops, ... Bed was also comfortable!

    Free breakfast is really very basic but it's nice to be provided the option. Some of the facilities weren't in the best condition (eg taps in the common toilet loose and I doubt anyone actually uses the pool; common fridge was absolutely stuffed full) but we could live with it for a few days.

    Wayne was extremely helpful and understanding during our stay, room was small but comfortable enough with very strong air con

    I stay at room Gading at the 1st floor and it is noisy everytime when people walking. 1 of the sink at the 1st floor is stuck and it look a bit disgusting. I dont have the photo of the sink.

    Free flow coffee and tea. The male staff name Wen is very kind and helpful. The security door.

    I missed egg in breakfast menu.

    It was great staying in this boutique hotel. Very clean, calm and homely environment. The property in charge is extraordinarily great. Very helpful and good English speaker. All sorts of travel guides are available to plan any trip. Shared bathrooms are clean, odorless and there is provision of hot shower as well. Hotel premise is very secure. There is luggage storage and reading lounge.

    There is no working staff on the reception desk sometimes. But actually, OK, because they leave the keys for me to pick up by myself.

    The location is convenient for visit museums, city walk and food feast. Very clean and quiet in the evening.

    The walls and floor on the section where our room is seem a little thin, we can hear it when people walk pass the corridor.

    Breakfast is provided. It's at a great location, a lot of eataries on the same street. The ramen shop right next door is a hidden gem (for lunch)! The kueh chap stall opens in the evening on the same street is good too. Wayne is friendly and helpful during our stay at Check In Lodge.

    Value for money hostel for travellers who are looking for some quiet down time around good food.
    • Leisure trip

    • Queen Room with Shared Bathroom and Window

    The place itself is a bit dated and probably needs some refreshing of some areas. My window did have a hole, which was ok but the whole window did look like it could come off any time. The pool area should also just be removed from the listing. It can definitely be converted into nicer common space.

    I loved this place. It was definitely value for money and walkable to so much good food nearby. It is not the most social hostel, so perfect if you are looking for something more for a downtime by yourself. The air conditioning was strong and much needed for the time I was there.

    The AC and windows had some mildew (mold?) from the humid climate. Overall facilities maintenance was a bit lacking, from the non-functioning pool to the depressing rooftop terrace.

    Amazing staff, good location, free breakfast, lots of bathrooms and showers for everyone, shared communal kitchen, lots of information on excursions and activities.

    As mentioned there is sooo much information of what to do and how to get to different attractions. It’s all a little over whelming, but a lot of it does seem to repeat itself, maybe a bit of a sort through to make the information more concise would be good. The pool was also closed whilst we were there which was a shame however they did say we could use the local pool and get reimbursed.

    The breakfast was very nice to have, self service with plenty of breads, jams, cornflakes, tea and coffee! The location was good, plenty of nearby food options and close to various bus stops for different attractions. The guy working was very helpful, giving us plenty of information of what there was to do in the city, he does talk very fast so it is a little difficult to understand everything although they have plenty of information written all over the accommodation.

    It is situated in a great location in Jalan Padungan. Check In Lodge is in a converted Chinese shophouse in a beautifully preserved street of shops and eating places just down the road from the waterfront. It is clean and well maintained and represents excellent value for money. Our room was air conditioned and looked out over the street.

    Really good location, within walking distance to the river front and some good places to eat in local area. Also not far from a little supermarket. Facilities were good, hot shower, basic kitchen to make noodles or hot drinks. Breakfast was basic but good if staying for a few days. Wayne our host was excellent and had good communication if we needed help with anything.
