Hotel berhampiran Masjid Al-raudah Pekan, Kuala Selangor

They call this a “homestay,” which almost deterred me from staying here. It’s actually a pleasant hotel that just lacks a 24 hour front desk — I think it’s staffed during daylight hours — and relies on an electronic kiosk for check in and check out. There’s no cafe or restaurant, but there are food vending machines in the lobby and restaurants nearby. You’ll want to come with your own transportation. That said, we had a very pleasant stay there, and if you don’t require hotel services, you will too. The hotel is located in one of the many concrete, box-like structures that you’ll see in the padi fields around Sekinchan. These used to be commercial nesting houses for the swiftlets whose saliva nests are used to make birds’ nest soup. Normally the swiftlets nest in caves in remote areas, which makes harvesting the nests difficult. But if you have plenty of swiftlets and no caves, as in Sekinchan, you can build an artificial cave and have a business. I guess that business didn’t thrive, and many of these bird nest houses have been repurposed into alternative uses like this one. The hotel is constructed entirely of concrete (floors, walls, ceilings). The rooms are adequate in size with a huge window providing an excellent view over the rice fields. The rooms are immaculate; air conditioning is good; and a station providing filtered drinking water is available next to the elevator on each floor to refill your water bottles. The kiosk-based check in and check out works well, but is inflexible. If you want to extend your stay you still have to use the kiosk to check out on your original date of departure and check in again. Even though you’re paying for the next day, the kiosk still will charge you a significant penalty if you don’t complete the check out by 12 o’clock check out time. This is weird and inconvenient (and the front desk staff don’t tell you these details), but if you know the rule you can easily manage it. The limited front desk staff speak only Chinese, with the exception of one older lady who frequently isn’t there but is reachable by phone. The hotel has a few set ups in the back (swing, heart-shaped seat and staircase to nowhere) to help you get Instagram-worthy photos on the spot. These seemed to be very popular with young couples staying there. There are several casual restaurants nearby, including a good Vietnamese restaurant just a couple of blocks away, plus lots of Chinese restaurants. (The population of Sekinchan is 80% Chinese.) I came here to photograph the abundant kingfishers that nest in the banks of the irrigation canals running through the rice fields. Padi Sentral was perfect for my needs — comfortable room, perfect location, inexpensive).

Berbaloi untuk wang, makanan yang baik dan perkhidmatan yang baik. Walau bagaimanapun, nasihat untuk menggunakan sistem pembayaran ewallet untuk kemudahan yang disediakan (iaitu berbasikal)

Terdapat 4 roh jahat yang terus mengganggu saya di Bilik 1-1 semasa saya tidur. Mereka terus menyentuh saya sehingga saya tidak dapat tidur langsung. Apabila saya tidak boleh bertolak ansur lagi, saya kejutkan suami saya dan menyuruhnya membawa bantal dan beralih ke bilik kawan kami. Di sana roh jahat masih mengikuti saya sehingga saya hampir tidak tidur sepanjang malam. Pada keesokan harinya, saya membuat aduan kepada Meja Penyambut Tamu dan saya diberitahu bahawa mereka sebenarnya sedar akan roh jahat tersebut terutamanya di Bilik 1-1. Saya sangat kecewa dan memberitahu mereka bahawa mereka tidak sepatutnya membenarkan perkara ini berlaku. Mereka hendaklah sekurang-kurangnya mengadakan sembahyang ke bilik itu supaya roh-roh jahat itu pergi dan akan menjadi tenteram; jika tidak, mereka tidak sepatutnya membuka bilik untuk diduduki tetamu. Paling teruk, roh jahat itu masih mengikut saya ke Kuala Lumpur. Sepanjang malam saya tidak sihat dan tidak boleh tidur langsung. Pada hari berikutnya, saya benar-benar sakit dan mengalami sakit kepala yang teruk; Itulah masa saya memanggil rakan Sifu saya untuk datang ke pejabat saya dan meminta saya memeriksa. Selepas menunaikan solat, saya sudah berasa lebih baik. Pada malam itu, saya sudah berasa sihat dan boleh tidur dengan nyenyak. Sifu memberitahu bahawa yang mengikut saya ialah seorang wanita tua. Saya merayu kepada pihak pengurusan hotel ini supaya lebih banyak mendoakan roh-roh yang malang itu supaya mereka berada dalam keadaan aman.

The room was very clean and comfy to stay. Easy to check in and we dint have to wait for a longer time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Near to Padi field and Redang Beach. Easy to find seafood restaurant nearby. Definitely will come again. Thank you for great hospitality.

Hotel yg baik utk singgah tido bg yg cari penginapan sementara tunggu org kawen ke lawat hospital tg karang ke...siap ada pool lg tau...

Lelaki di kaunter penerimaan tetamu sangat membantu dan produktif. Apapun keluhan saya (lorong gelap, rambut kosong dan bekas gel badan dll) telah diselesaikan olehnya. Puas hati dengan perangai dan sikapnya. Apabila dia berkata dia akan menyelesaikannya maka ia benar-benar diselesaikan. Terlupa nak tanya namanya tetapi dia berada di kaunter ketika saya mendaftar masuk sekitar jam 3 petang dan dia masih bertugas semasa saya pulang dari kerja sekitar jam 10-11 malam.

A bit far away from the city but near to pekan kuala selangor. suitable for people who wants to get away from city chaos. got near nice place to go as kopi sawah and roti canai pelangi. sekinchan also is just around the corner. Recommended for single travelers like me. place is safe and nice. clean but not that sound proof 🤣🤣

Saya baru-baru ini menginap di ZONE Hotel di Eco Grandeur bersama keluarga saya, dan ia adalah pengalaman yang hebat. Bilik hotel adalah selesa dan diselenggara dengan baik, memberikan kami suasana yang selesa dan santai sepanjang penginapan kami. Apa yang menjadikan lawatan kami lebih baik adalah lokasi yang selesa; kami boleh berjalan kaki ke kafe dan restoran berdekatan dengan mudah, menjadikan pilihan tempat makan mudah diakses. Kakitangan yang mesra dan perkhidmatan yang sangat baik menambah kepuasan keseluruhan kami. Kami benar-benar menikmati masa kami di ZONE Hotel dan akan sangat mengesyorkannya kepada sesiapa yang mencari penginapan yang menyenangkan dan selesa.

The room is clean and comfortable. Overall it is okay and nice. But the room I stayed is beside the road. So it will have some noise like car and motorbike, but okay too, acceptable. If for those who dislike the noise, I think you can choose room without window maybe 🤔
