Nice rooms and facilities. Had a room with adjoining door, but guests in adjoining room were noisy. Not the hotels fault, but I would have preferred a room without an adjoining door. Fridge in room also a little noisy, so had to switch it of at night. However, overall a very pleasant stay.

Wonderful stay at the Light Hotel. We enjoyed using the pool and the gym. The staff were very attentive. The location was close to other places to eat - we would recommend Jom Banana Leaf directly opposite the hotel. Exceptional breakfast too! We will definitely return.

It is usually 5 star response from me but this time it was let down by confusion about changing my room which as it happened never got changed which made me clear my room two days in a row, all house keeping failed to leave me with any shower gel/shampoo on the last day, this said I will be booking again as I think this is a one off

The hotel is satisfactory, and the breakfast is quite good with a wide variety of options. However, the in-room amenities leave much to be desired. The slippers are of poor quality, and there are no pajamas provided. Additionally, the selection of complimentary drinks is limited. The staff's English proficiency is lacking, and their service lacks a warm touch. If it weren't for the breakfast, I would choose Sunway instead.

The hotel employees some of them is amazing. Some employees doesn’t know what the rule and no idea what customers want. You pay for the full amount from Expedia but if there are any issue at the room and no alternative available, that mean you are stuck paying the higher rate and no compensation from hotel
