T'Lodge

Kuala Besut

We stayed at T Lodge Family room which had 2 Queen Beds, end June when we had to stay for the night before departing to Perhentian Island by Boat. Since we booked with Mimpi Resort, we were recommended by their friendly staff to stay at T Lodge. 

The Good: - Convenient as Mimpi's office and a Roti Canai Coffeeshop was right below
There was ample parking space for our car
There is a mosque and many eateries nearby
Apparently, we had a safe night despite minimal safety features provided by the hotel
Greeted by friendly staff during checki in at 5pm 
No frills reception
Aircon in room was cold
Provided bath towels and bottled water. 

The Bad: 
Very minimal safety feature like a normal lock for the room door
No security guard guarding reception or motel area
Pungent smell from the toilet sewerage
Toilet pipes rusty
Flickering toilet lights
Dirty Bedsheets with moldy spots
Dusty floor
Family room was small without windows
Had a scary vibe but we had a safe night stay
Only 1 pathetic piece of small bar soap for hands so please  bring your own soap/shampoo
No Mini fridge

Even though we felt unsafe, we still had a good night's sleep. I would still recommend to just stay for the night if you are checking in at Mimpi Resort the next morning due to Convenience sake. Do walk around the area to explore the mosque and eateries. The roti chanai shop below T Lodge was good and had a variety of breakfast menu such as Nasi Lemak and Toast bread. 



Simple Motel to stay for the Night

It's not that far to the jetty. U can book ur boat ride with d Seven Seas which is next door. Cost about Rm70. They also arrange shuttle van to d airport in Kota Bharu, rm25 only. Locals need to pay rm5 for d marine conservation fee & another rm5 for d tax at d jetty.

From Kuala Besut to Perhentian Island (Long Beach)

We booked 2 rooms & stayed a night here before we head over to Perhentian the next morning which is just a walking distance to the jetty. Hotel did some refurbishment on the rooms (i.e.: fresh coat of paint, updated furnitures, new flooring & the beds).

Short overnight stay

The only reason this hotel is probably open is because of the proximity to the Perhentian jetty, the structure is old, the floor tiles are missing, the sheet is not to say dirty in both beds, the tents are not dark, the light penetrates the room from everywhere, the ants everywhere, the only positive note I would say the air conditioner.

Adaptation spirit

Beds where comfy but the sheets had footprints (!) and lots of stains and there where hair under the duvet. Bathroom was ok. Air condition was out of order but there was a fan. Very noisy outside all night so I didn't get much sleep. Also there was no drinking water provided but a 7 eleven across the street. Bring your own sheet, water and expect little sleep, and you will be fine since you only stay overnight to catch a boat or transferbus. No plug in the basin and no bucket so I couldnt do any laundry either.

Dirty bedlinen and very noisy outside

But clean, I mean why are you staying here? One reason only and that's the ferry to the perhentian islands.
This place is central, cheap and clean and no frills. It's right above an agent that will sell you a boat ticket.

Basic 

We arrived in Kuala Besut too late to take the last boat to the Perhentian, worried by the reviews of the facilities of this small village, I relied on the L.P. where this facility was listed as good. I actually found myself very well, kind and available staff, spacious clean room with A/C ventilator and bathroom.

More than decent

We stayed here because of a delay on the bus we arrived in Kuala Besut at an hour before there was a ferry.We shared the room with another couple in the same situation.Price of the room for 4 with bathroom, 115rm.Dirty, with spiders, dirty sheets, disgusting in general and with total lack of maintenance.It has wifi and in the surroundings there is a laundry and a 7eleven.

Asqueroso is the name of the game.

We paid 99 ringgits for the room, bathroom inside. The blankets were not very clean and was a little bit noisy, but we only spend there one night before going to Perhentians and it is very close to the jetty to catch the boat. 

Not very clean

It's an old hotel where cleanliness is limited but for one night it's still convenient if you're not looking very much. You wouldn't stay a week in this kind of establishment, it's just a step before you go wherever you go from the Perenthian Islands.
