Mercure Langkawi Pantai Cenang

A modern new hotel. It is 5/5 stars, above and beyond, for what it is. A 4 star hotel in midst of everything, at the slightly touristed Langkawi. Location is great. Literally in the midst of the “tourist strip” but with 5% of the crowds of Bali/Phuket ( I kid you not!!). Convenience stores, Duty free stores, Day Trip tour desks, souvenir stores, restaurants are all within 2-3 minutes walk. Don’t expect a 5 star luxury hotel. But as a 4 star place, rooms are decidedly upmarket with modcons abound. Several usb charging points, working mini-fridge (with respect to non-working ones in many Asian hotels I’ve stayed at), espresso capsule coffee machine, dedicated filtered drinking water tap, rain shower-head, Modern tv with all the connections/points needed to watch your own stuff… And other value added amenities like really great smelling essential oil based toiletries (says it’s made in Italy!), beautiful swimming pool with a bar that actually sells incredibly affordable drinks, a large balcony with 2 outdoor chairs and a table. [critique: weather is really hot in Langkawi so the metal furniture is not as user friendly as it looks.] and lastly a great sunset view from the balconies facing the ocean. I assume rooms on the other side have great sunrise views… Staff seem to be very friendly and welcoming. But some of the restaurant and pool bar staff did not know about the promotions they were currently running and had to ask someone else when queried. But I’d definitely want to come back again, perhaps even with my mum! Tip: a grab car from the airport costed us RM12. Download the app before you arrive to get you straight to the hotel. Will comment more about the breakfast and dinner tomorrow!

Amazing hotel staff and amenities…super clean and my stay here was made so comfortable!!! One of the best trips!!! Will definitely be here again in the near future With friends and families. All the facilities are at the top of the world

Beginning to look like a nightmare….first impression already out, bellmen/ concierge just stood there like statue while we had to carry our own luggage, super duper annoying music. Typically music that will be played in a beach bar and not a hotel. Amazingly the front desk smells…..like rubbish. Lol…what you pay is what you get…lets see what else surprises we have in store….

Great location and close to restaurants. Fairly new hotel. Room was very nice and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Beach was across the road. Surroundings outside the boundary could be cleaned a bit.

One of the horrible hotels in Langkawi the lady on reception told me your booking not showing on my system try to call booking.com, I call them they told me your booking is confirmed. After that they told me to wait till they clean the room it will take one hour. The check in should be 3 pm I entered my room at 4 No one even think to say sorry for wasting our time. Such place think only for money.
