We arrived with each of us with a big and a small backpack. First we had to take off our shoes to enter the reception. The hotel seemed not to have much guests but we were given a room in the second floor and there is no elevator. We had booked only one night to get the ferry at 7:30 am. Therefore we asked at the reception if Grab would be available early in the morning and as we could get no answer, we asked for a phone number for calling a taxi but received the reply that she does not know any number. In the morning no Grab was available and from three taxi numbers we found with Google, one replied that it was too far and the others did not pick up the phone. We had to walk with all our luggage about 30 minutes to the Jetty. Poor service, bad location for taking an early ferry.
Room was very clean and spacious but air condition blasting directly to the bed and to cover yourself in the bed there is only the heavy bed day cover that we doubted to be washed after every guest, so we were happy to have brought our own sleeping bag. There is a list with rules including that not married couples and alcohol is not allowed.
If you search for a hotel to get the ferry, better book one more far away from Jetty but closer to the Center of Kuah, so that you will be able to take a taxi. 

Not recommend for transit to ferry

Nice view and have seaview ballcony ..clean room n superb ..also can get rest in small swiming pool nearby the hotel....have a steamboat restaurant ....quite place to have privacy ..superb place ..cooling air from sea 

Honeymoon 

The Penarak Bamboo Beach Motel is located about 5 minutes drive from Kuah Town and the Kuah Jetty. The place is a little isolated and should only consider staying here if you are renting a car.

I just needed a place to sleep and this place only cost RM 50 so why not.  Room is basic - not too bad for a person. Bathroom does come with toiletries - shampoo and soap.

Parking is plentiful and hotel is well kept.

Only comment is the lobby is not open 24 hours and I wanted to check out early but it was not opened - so I just slipped my key under the main door.

Clean Budget Hotel

We are langkawian.Rude reception.We ask for the room the be the last and near with sea.With the rude said'occupied by other'.ok.by night all the room still vacant clean.dont lie.we hate it.come to room. We just leave a thing and going back again to work.as we work at langkawi.after , we see the balance cigartes not been clean up and the floor not be mopped as they use tiles and clear see a lot of hair, also in the bathroom.we call reception about the matter and they said`i dont know , i work as evening shift.'not late around 8pm.we just ignore as we stay 1 night for rest our mind.we just ignore.when check out, we meet the same person we check in.we just give a complaint about the cleanliness.the rude reception again said'why dont call yesterday after check in`. It seem uols just be a motel.we are langkawian and we can suggest your motel due nice view and we can fishinh.but with the rude and very bad attitude , you think it same with value we pay you.We just need word of sorry..dont lie , and become rude.as i know im not become rude to you.

Worst ever

Stayed here for a few nights on our trip to Langkawi.

Pros
Friendly and helpful staff
Moped hire from motel
Views from the water rooms are great
Small balcony to enjoy the views
Close to city centre
Kettle in the room with coffee 

Cons
Rooms are very basic and not worth the price they are charged at
Rooms without a view are little stuffy boxes
Full of mosquitos
Very noisy
We could not swim in the pool without being starred - we felt very uncomfortable as westerners here 
The moped was falling apart, one mirror, broken seat etc
There are no eating places around accommodation
You do need transport

The only reason we stayed was due to the fact that we got a reduced room rate because we had no hot water. 



Fantastic View, Basic Rooms, OK Value

This is a far flung location with only a night seafood restaurant on site for dinner, so only stay here if you've hired a car, as there's no other food or services available other than than the pricey seafood restaurant, a drinks fridge at reception, and local eateries which deliver. We were always stranded for breakfast unless we paid for a pricey local taxi. During working hours Uber drivers were usually unavailable in the area.

The owner / manager was friendly and helpful, the other staff were disengaged and not inclined to be helpful (receptionist told us no laundry services available, the manager said yes when we asked again).

Room was only cleaned on request, and was constantly overrun with tiny ants.

Good aircon and comfortable bedding.

Wifi went some days with almost non existent internet supply.

The pool was clean but small and uninspiring. There is no shade to sit under.

The beach is very ordinary, not clean, and unappealing.

For the price we really wish we stayed at Cenang beach instead, especially given what we spent on taxis every day. It is 25myr to Cenang beach, 5-8myr to Langkawi Parade mall and the local shopping area.
