”Glory in the Past”
Strategic location (5-7 minutes to Kampung Cina), the staffs are friendly, the aircond is cold enough, basement parking is free & view of Jambatan Angkat. Other than that, wasn't that good staying experience.
- Room smells moldy (carpet & moisture)
- The bed sheet wasn't clean
- Breakfast was just so so
Back in the day, this hotel might be awesome but now I prefer staying in boutique hotel to be fair, at least it's new & fresh
The room was quite spacious, but the overall feel was a bit dated. Because of its proximity to the sea, it also felt a little damp. There were quite a few water stains on the tables, cups, and bowls. Breakfast was relatively plentiful, slightly above average for the price point in Southeast Asia, but the overall taste was rather ordinary. The salad bar had a limited and not-so-fresh selection of fruits and vegetables. There was a noticeable abundance of heavily flavored, oily, and sugary dishes.
My stay at Tanjung Vista Hotel was overall okay. The room was comfortable and suitable for a short trip. Food was fine, but it would be better if there were more variety on the menu. Service from the staff was good and friendly. A decent option for those visiting Terengganu.
A Pleasant Stay With Good Location N Breakfast
Paya Bunga Hotel is located smackingly next to centre of everything..The bus station,Pasar Kedai Payang and also UTC,making it super convenient for travellers and holiday-makers.Kudos to the hotel’s staff who are so utterly Sopan and Friendly.Thanks a lot for upgrading my room to a bigger one.This hotel is a good choice for those looking for a good variety of breakfast too..and prefer local food.
✅ Main Advantages
1. Very Strategic Location
The hotel is located right in the heart of Kuala Terengganu city, near Kampung Cina / Jalan Kg Cina — making it very convenient to reach Pasar Payang, souvenir shops, dining spots, or just take a relaxing walk around.
Many guests have mentioned that the location is “hard to beat” and “super convenient.”
So if you “like staying here because it’s close to Pasar Payang,” this hotel definitely meets that expectation.
2. Charming Boutique Design & Atmosphere
The hotel features a vintage/colonial Malay–Chinese (Peranakan) style with distinctive decorative and furniture details.
Many guests appreciate the beautiful and “Instagrammable” interior design and room decor.
3. Decent Rooms & Good Value for Money
While it’s not a luxury hotel, most guests feel that for the location and price, it’s a great choice. For example, the “Superior King” room starts from around RM190+ during normal seasons.
Reviews generally mention that the rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a satisfying experience overall.
⸻
⚠️ Disadvantages / Things to Note
1. Room Size
Some guests mentioned that the rooms are rather small, especially for two to three people or if you have large luggage.
So, if you’re traveling with your wife and two young children, it’s better to choose a larger room (like the “Deluxe Family”) for more space.
2. Facilities & Minor Details Could Be Improved
• Some reviews said the air conditioning control could be better — the room felt warm even at low settings.
• Limited parking: the hotel provides open-air parking, but spaces are quite few.
• Some rooms have slightly quirky layouts, such as glass bathrooms or sinks placed outside the bathroom.
• A few guests felt that staff service could be more friendly (though this is not a common issue).
3. Family Rooms
If you’re staying with young children, confirm the “Family” room type to ensure it’s suitable — for example, check if there’s any glass wall in the bathroom. Make sure the room setup is family-friendly.
⸻
🎯 Who Is It Suitable For?
• Ideal for couples or small families who want the best central location and the ability to walk easily to markets, shops, and eateries.
• Less suitable if you need a large space, luxury facilities, or ample parking — in that case, other hotels might be more appropriate.
⸻
📝 Tips for Your Stay
• Book a larger room (e.g. Deluxe or Family) if traveling with family for better comfort.
• Arriving early or late? Check parking first — you may need to unload your luggage before parking.
• If possible, request a room with a window, as some reviews mentioned that “windowless rooms” can feel stuffy.
• Bring light clothing or t-shirts, as even with air-conditioning, some rooms felt a bit warm.
• When exploring Pasar Payang or Kampung Cina on foot, go in the morning or late afternoon to avoid traffic and parking congestion.
⸻
✅ Conclusion
In summary, The Payang Hotel is an excellent choice if your top priority is staying very close to Pasar Payang and downtown Kuala Terengganu, while enjoying a charming boutique atmosphere.
With a bit of compromise on room size and a few minor facilities, you’ll still get a comfortable and practical stay in a highly convenient location.
I just returned from my trip and had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The absolute best part about it is its incredible location. If proximity to the main attractions is important to you, this is the place to be.
The hotel's vicinity to the town center is perfect. It’s just a short walk to the famous Pasar Payang and Mayang Mall, which made exploring and shopping so convenient. We didn't have to worry about transportation or getting around; everything we wanted to see and do was right there.
The convenience extends to dining as well. There are ”lots of food shops nearby,” offering a great variety of local cuisine. This made finding meals extremely easy, and we never had to venture far for a great bite to eat.
Overall, the ease and convenience provided by the location truly enhanced our vacation. The stay was ”easy and without worries” because everything was within reach. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a stress-free stay near the heart of the town's action.
An upgraded hotel with clean and comfortable bathrooms. Quite spacious parking. Delicious food. The location is by the Terengganu River and you can see the view of the bridge, river and kuala from the hotel room. Very beautiful. Close to a food court that sells a variety of food and drinks at night.
This was our stopover hotel on Lang Tengah Island. Unfortunately, we encountered quite a few cockroaches and small insects, and the bedding had noticeable stains. Honestly, don't set your expectations too high – you get what you pay for. On the bright side, both the room and bathroom were very spacious. However, it's situated right by the road, making it extremely noisy, with traffic rumbling constantly, even in the middle of the night. If you're a light sleeper, I'd strongly advise you to look elsewhere.
The room is in a strategic location, close to the city with a sea view. The staff were helpful, but the mattress was quite old and you could feel the sagging springs. The bathroom was also not very clean, possibly due to its age, with a damaged door. The overall quality and maintenance need improvement.

GGuest UserThe place is ok .. not very clean, not very dirty .. just a bit noisy because there is a badminton court, right .. because I have a newborn .. but overall it's ok, no complain because there's no hotel holiday, right
AAnonymous UserIt's normal but it's ok to have a place to sleep and rest for a while. But don't expect anything fancy. The budget hotel is really old-fashioned but it's good to have a coway. The bed is not hard, the shower tap water is fast.

WwanitarmidiThis resort is the best resort i ve stayed so far! From the staff that are well-trained and super attentive to the uniqueness of the building itself. All are just amazing. Breakfast was super delicious that every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommended this resort for all of you.

DDr WanSutra Beach Resort is the place to just rest and relax. Even though its quite old but the management still manage to maintain it at a surprisingly good condition. The beach was quite ok except fot the rubbish from the sea. We managed to collect some and turned them into something useful.
