6.4/10

I recently stayed at the Grand Darul Makmur, and it was a mixed experience. While the swimming pool was a nice escape and my family had enough space in the room, the overall condition of the hotel was quite disappointing. The internet speed was frustratingly slow, and we encountered issues with hot water and room cleanliness. Given the price we paid, I felt it was not the best value for my money.

Rooms

6.0

The room was spacious, accommodating my family comfortably, but the overall upkeep was lacking, with the carpet needing serious attention.

Service

I did have some positive interactions at the front desk during check-in, but the issues with the room took away from that overall.

I had a fantastic stay at this grand hotel! The entrance was impressive, and everything from the pool to the room was top-notch. The food was delicious, and the location couldn't be better-just a short walk to convenience stores and attractions. However, my experience in the family room was a bit lacking due to outdated decor and some service hiccups. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a getaway with family or for business.

I had a really nice stay at this hotel during my three-day business trip. The room was spacious and comfortable, although it was hot initially, the staff worked diligently to fix it. The housekeeping did a fantastic job, which made my day brighter. The dining experience was excellent, especially at the Chinese restaurant with creative vegetarian options. However, I did encounter some minor issues with housekeeping not restocking items. Overall, it's a great place to stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable due to its convenient location right next to Berjaya Mall, making it easy to grab meals and shop. The rooms were spacious, but there were a few hiccups with housekeeping, and I could hear noise from neighboring rooms. The breakfast options were plentiful and reasonably priced, which was a nice touch. Overall, it offers good value, but some upgrades are needed.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is excellent, right in the center of Kuantan, making it super convenient for shopping. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but very dated and not particularly clean. The dining options were underwhelming, and I chose not to have breakfast there based on previous feedback. Overall, it's a decent stay if you're looking for a large room and easy access to amenities, but it definitely needs some improvements.

Rooms

I decided not to have breakfast at the hotel since I heard it wasn't worth it. Plenty of food options around the hotel, though.
