Breakfast Buffet Delight

The breakfast buffet at Grand Alora Hotel is truly impressive! With a wide variety of options such as nasi lemak, roti canai, and pastries, I was thoroughly satisfied each morning. There was also a fantastic noodle soup station that let me choose my ingredients. This was definitely a highlight of my stay!

Spacious and Clean

I loved the spacious layout of my room on the 14th floor. It was clean with a comfortable bed and had great facilities including a worktable and a cozy lounging area. The big windows offered a lovely view and plenty of natural light. I felt right at home in this inviting atmosphere.

Relaxing Rainfall Shower

One of my favorite features was the heavy rainfall shower in the bathroom. It was such a good experience to unwind with warm cascading water after a long day. The high water pressure made it even more enjoyable, leaving me refreshed and relaxed.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to have a mix of positives and negatives. The view from my room was particularly fantastic, especially from the higher floors. However, I faced some challenges with room cleanliness and air conditioning issues. The location is convenient with local food stalls nearby, which I appreciated, but the facilities seemed outdated and in need of attention.

Rooms

5.0

I found the room to be a bit gloomy, even with all the lights on. The bathroom had some significant design flaws, like the shower area soaking the entire floor. On a brighter note, breakfast was delightful, especially the pulut with ikan masin and 'peknga'.

Service

6.0

The service was a bit slow and not very attentive during breakfast when it came to clearing plates. It took longer than I expected for staff to attend to check-in, particularly for families with small children.

Location

8.0

The hotel is strategically located, right across from a Tesco and surrounded by commercial centers, making it easy to grab a quick bite from local food stalls.

Dining

7.0

I found the dining options to be limited, especially at lunch and dinner, though breakfast was decent. There should be more healthy choices available at the salad bar.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities could definitely use some improvement as they felt outdated and not well-maintained. I saw some cobwebs and dirty windows during my stay.

I had a fair experience at this hotel during my stay for an exhibition in Alor Setar. The hotel is clean and offers good value for money, with spacious rooms, though the breakfast variety was lacking and WiFi was frustratingly slow. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you're looking for a comfortable stay close to amenities, but not without its drawbacks.

My stay at Grand Alora was a real mixed bag. While the staff were friendly and remembered us from our previous visit, the overall experience left much to be desired. The rooms were comfortable, but I struggled with a few cleanliness issues. Breakfast was disappointing, and certain amenities were lacking, which detracted from what could have been a more enjoyable stay.

The rooms were generally comfortable, but they had a significant issue with a lingering cigarette smell despite being on a non-smoking floor, and there were quite a few ladybugs around, which was an odd experience.

While the staff engaged positively during breakfast and made an effort to assist, I did encounter issues with incorrect room access cards and some language barriers, which made communication a challenge at times.
