Hotels near Istana Munarah, Seremban

I've booked 2 rooms for my business trip with my colleague in Arena Hotel. One room for collegue is standard room which is cheaper than another superior room booked for my own stay. Surprisingly, when I compared both rooms, superior room is smaller and the facilities inside the room is lesser compare with another standard room I have, it doesnt come with a mirror above the working table and only have sofa chair provided in superior room. Called the front desk but they just claim that there's nothing wrong, in their floor plan the room I am staying is superior. They can't give me an explanation why I am paying more but get the smaller and lesser facilities room. Other than that, Arena Hotel is really worth the money,clean, comfortable and food tasted nice.

the good: 1. the room size is decent, the aircond is working well and wifi is averagely good 2. the location of this hotel is excellent for business purpose with available parking and is quite centrally located but would need a car to get around, thus would make a good place to stopover for the night if you are tired 3. no issue with the toilet as it is clean and served its purpose well 4. the checking in and out was a breeze and the receptionist was a fine and friendly malay lady the bad: 1. not many except that the location will be a bit quiet and dark at night 2. however there is a karaoke or bar nearby, and the sound-proofing can be better Overall, not a bad stay. would consider staying again in the future

The good: Checking in was a breeze, ample of parking space, nearby a fast food restaurant but lacked convenience store, the room was clean and aircond was cold, there was a kettle and hairdryer in the room but not fridge, there was a complimentary calming fruit tea given upon check in The bad: The aircond shut off automatically at night and I woke up sweating profusely, there were ants on the table that came out from nowhere, the tv channels were all blurry There’s nothing much to complain about as the bed was comfortable and good place to rest and recuperate. I would give this place a 4.5/5 star , if only the friendliness factor and food can be included in this establishment.

Overall quite satisfied with the stay, will definitely come back if visit seremban. Only things need to take note and improve is the bfast choice of food and the taste as it is just average abit below expectations for this hotel. In room dining maybe can add some kids meal and start early for the ordering time at 10.30am or 11am instead of 12pm. Housekeeping should take note on the linen, pillow case / bedsheets got unpleasant smell. All this is small matter can be improve, hope next visit will be great. Kids is enjoying the pool, its great place for family to have fun. Good location, convenient basement car park. Room have 2 bath towel only, no hand, face towel.

I’ve stayed at Royale Chulan countless of times and also on Chinese New Years . So since I heard Alson Klana has been refurbished I decided to give it a try for the first time. Firstly when arriving to the hotel , this is on Chinese New Year Eve , parking was not full hence not full house. The facade of the hotel looks haunted due to they did not paint the hotel at all although they had refurbish it. Went to counter and was passed to their trainee. Trainee didn’t understand English well despite continuing to Converse to him in English. In the end he replied in Bahasa Melayu while we converse with him in English. 4th floor was given despite us mentioning we do not prefer the number 4 especially heading towards the Chinese New Year due to starting the year with an inauspicious number. However we were given the answer it is a fully house. We asked again how about even the 3rd floor would do, same thing , full house despite a lot of parking space available. Anyhow, heading to the room, the room is spacious . However, the bathroom door is not in a good shape they did not change the bathroom door and it has cracks and it’s a very old door. The balcony is not cleaned and if you look at the other side, it looks very haunting and torn down. Doubt into housekeeping in the end, managed to dial into the front desk to request, for toothbrush, toothbrush was not provided any refill of tea bags is chargeable RM6. This might be the last time I stay in this hotel and I will return to the competitor.

I booked my room through Agoda. I paid roughly Rm54 per night. Very worth it for the money. Clean, has water coolers almost every corner of the building, has even ironing facilities. Tooth brush and biscuits with coffee provided. Only draw bck was the water pressure. Too low. Otherwise all was good. Was there for a night. Directly opposite jknns, where I needed to go. Convenient. Would definitely stay again

The toilet is open concept, so when entered room can smell very strong. It’s Boutique hotel but it’s quite big. Has the amenities you need. Air conditioning very good and cold. Facing the street but didn’t really bother my sleep. Got a kopitiam in front of the hotel. Walk a bit far to the bars & restaurant area.

Our family of 10 (aged 13 to 81) booked 3 units, Tapir, Kantan & Lanai for 2 nights in June. This place is surrounded by forest, perched high enough to enjoy views for miles around, with durian trees scattered throughout. We appreciated the fresh air, the incredible scenery, the flora & fauna, the feeling of spaciousness, the cooler temperatures & the fact that we could pick durians off the ground & eat them on the spot. If you detest insects, must have everything working quickly & efficiently (the place is slightly worn & some parts in need of maintenance but generally clean & comfortable), can’t live without wifi, must sleep in air- conditioned rooms & have to be fruitfully occupied with “activities”, then this is probably not your holiday destination. But if you hanker for space, solitude, long periods with nothing to do except enjoy the chirping of birds while reading a book, floating in a pool surrounded by gigantic trees, or just playing board or card games with friends / family, then please drop by for a stay. The manager & staff were friendly & helpful, food was decent, and beds very comfortable. We’ll definitely come back.

Had an amazing stay at the villa! It felt extra homely because Rosslee and his colleagues were so friendly and welcoming. Food was great (especially mashed potatoes), with Rosslee double-hatting as the chef. Was initially worried about the accessibility of food so we prepped instant food in case we got hungry at night.. but we were so well fed throughout the stay. If you love snacking like us, just buy some snacks & drinks before driving up since there isn’t any convenience stores nearby. This villa is literally within the nature, on a secluded mountain, so manage your own expectations on mosquitoes & bugs. Did some homework and prepared some mosquito repellents and coils prior to checking in. Also try to check in during the day as the drive up can be intimidating after sun sets. Soundproofing in the room isn’t the best too but isn’t it quite amazing how they can build this villa on the mountains already? Overall 10/10 stay for hubby and I!

We had a nice staycation there. Not too far from KL. The host and staffs are nice. However, only thing that make me felt uncomfortable is the bed, too hard. We had back and neck hurt next day. And the bed sheet, pillow, feel like there is a “powder” on it or dust (the place still under construction)…idk. Besides that, everything are great! Breakfast is nice with so many choices!
