    If travelling to Langkawi I honestly think you can’t get a better hotel. We booked the two story room. It’s cozy, clean and has a really nice vibe. There is a pool which is welcomed on those hot days, but the beach is 2 min walk away too. Everything you’d want is within walking distance and a night market for food is right around the corner every night. To top it off, the staff are always very nice and welcoming. Totally enjoyed staying here and would do it again. Great value for money too!

    4 of us and we took their spacious family studio with 2 twin bed & 1 Q bed with a balcony facing Cenang mainroad. I didn't find it noisy. The room has a mini fridge, beverages, hair dryer, iron, toiletries. Apparently there's a antic trunk box which is actually a safety deposit box with a lock. Hotel has a small swimming pool at the ground floor. No lift. Its only a 2 storey building. Walking distance to the beach. They will have their own in-house cafe soon. Its an ideal location for everything. Their staff especially Said & Daniel were very hospitable, friendly πŸ˜‰ They deserve a credit.

    Very artsy hotel, clean, convenient location. Mosquito electric repellent provided in-room was very effective. Cosy and very comfortable. Friendly staff to assist via WhatsApp as there is no in-room phone. Highly recommend for a 4-5 night stay, queen studio good enough for couples/solo travelers.

    The worst experience we have had for the first time in Langkawi or anywhere actually. For some reason our room was filled with dirt and asked to clean we were literally screamed at and asked to leave. The owner/ or the man as receptionist (not sure) was racist and had the worst behavior ever to my friend and everyone with us. After coming to Google reviews, I see similar reviews and if I read these before I would never had gone there. He misbehaved to an extent where we had no other way but to leave.

    I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The cleanliness was outstanding, the room was super clean and cozy. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. Plus, the hotel's location near the duty free store, it was so convenient. The pantai cenang is walking distance, it’s a fantastic bonus. And to top it off, they surprised me with a birthday treat sent to our room. Such a thoughtful gesture! Highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and enjoyable stay..

    Not as expected. Although room is spacious but poor housekeeping. Floor mat is not changed until we request. Toilet roll was given with only 1 roll (thin quality), for a group of 4pax that stays in a studio with 2 queen bed. Shower head needed a change, sewage system in bathroom very poor, where it stinks towards evening til next morning. Think there are some back flow that's why it smells awful. Definitely not worth the per night amount that we are paying. Parking space limited at the side where there's night stalls setup, definitely a challenge for guests to park their car. Could have setup a proper parking lot for hotel guests, however no signage at all. Definitely lots of room for improvement. But anyway, good for 1-2 night stay.

    This hotel not bad, quite comfortable to me. I had nice sleep throughout the stay although room was near the road. Service was great, they even provided rooming and turndown service, same like high class hotel. However, hope they can improve on the ventilation in the room, I could see mushroom popping out on the shower room door 😯

    Dear Arch Studio Cenang, My family and I, all 13 of us, were truly smitten with your property. Though we have viewed videos and seen photos of Arch Studio Cenang (ASC), nothing prepared us for how gorgeous your property is. We loved the convenience of having everything at our doorstep - beach, shops, cafes, restaurants, Underwater World, food truck and a laundromat - and yet, at the same time, ASC was an oasis of tranquility; peaceful and calm. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff at ASC, led by Daniel. Between us, we booked 5 rooms and had requested for them to be on the ground floor for direct access to the pool and also for the ease of my very senior parents. Best decision ever! We had our meals by the pool while the children splashed around in it. Each bedroom is like a mini art gallery with paintings and sculptures donning the walls and shelves. I loved how they paid close attention to the aesthetics as well as the hygiene of each room. Cleanliness is, of course, imperative and I am glad nothing was compromised. The 4 nights went really fast. We had such a wonderful stay in your property and we sincerely hope to come back real soon to ASC. From all 13 of us, thank you so much, Arch Studio Cenang. Continue to do your amazing job. Much love, Mar and family Singapore

    This hostel is very clean and modern. They have a nice common room with Netflix, and a kitchen. And then there is also an outside space with a kitchen and seating. Very nice. The dorm rooms are big and have nice beds. You have your only little space with a light and plug. It is also very easy to meet new people that you can hang out with and explore the island with. The hostel is located in the main town where you can find many restaurants and shops. You can also rent a scooter to explore the rest of the island. The beach is only 5 minutes away. Highly recommend staying here.

    A strategically located hotel right in the heart of Cenang Beach and within walking distance of the famous Langkawi Aquarium. The hotel is average in size but the rooms are clean and well-maintained. Consisting of 2 floors with no lifts, this hotel is a walk up to the upper floor which proves to be a hassle if guests are wheelchair-bound. No restaurant or amenities are available here except a small swimming pool located on the ground floor fronting premium rooms. Street food fair every evening right beside the hotel makes this an excellent location to stay while you are vacationing here. Rates are high especially during peak season and remember this is not a wheel chair friendly hotel unless you are booking premium rooms on the ground floor. Overall, a thumbs up for great location and cleanliness.

    We booked a king two story loft and it was perfect. It was at the end of the row, with our own sitting area in front of the pool, surrounded by frangipani trees. The hotel is very clean and in a great, central location. I like that they are eco-friendly, offering free water In refillable glass carafes whenever you like. The pool is serene. Shower is large with good water pressure. They provide body wash and shampoo. No conditioner but there is a mini mart across the street. Night market is next door but our room was very quiet, heard nothing from outside. Loads of restaurants and whatever else you need nearby. It’s the perfect place to stay if you plan to be busy with water activities at Cenang beach or want to be in a central location to explore the island.

    We had a delightful experience at Arch Studio Cenang. The family room was spacious, always in excellent and clean condition. The hotel's proximity to the beautiful sandy beach, Professional Massage Spa, Langkawi Underwater World, and duty-free shops was very convenient. Next to the hotel, there were numerous eateries offering delicious local hawker food during morning and evening hours. Our family, especially the kids, enjoyed the stay, they get to swim in the hotel pool and play by the beach at any time. The hotel staff was remarkably friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place. It's important to note that there isn't an elevator, but the staff willingly assists, even with heavy strollers, either by caring for them at the reception or helping carry them to the room.

    Arch Dormitorio Cenang hostel is a unique and memorable place to stay. It's more than just a hostel - it's a community of travelers from all over the world who come together to share stories, experiences, and a love of adventure. From the moment you arrive, you're made to feel welcome. Abu is friendly and helpful, and he always happy to give you recommendations for things to do in the island. The hostel itself is clean and comfortable, But what really sets Arch Dormitorio Cenang apart is its atmosphere. The hostel has a warm and inviting vibe, and it's easy to strike up conversations with other guests. There are always fun activities going on, like walking tours, cooking and game nights. It's the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring the island. If you're looking for a unique and memorable hostel experience, I highly recommend it. It's the perfect place to meet new people, make new friends, and have an unforgettable time.

    Situated in the middle of Pantai Cenang, it is easy to get around. Restaurants, food trucks just within walking distance. Car parks are available for hotel guests. However, there is nothing much to shout about the room, especially the bathroom utilities. I wish the room would come with proper work deck for business travellers.

    I stayed at Arch Dormitory for two weeks. The location is situated a 5 min walk to the beach and right on the strip of the tourist street. Dormitory common room is really homey and cleaned every day. There is Netflix and a pool table to use and lots of nice sunlight that comes in. Great stay, I really enjoyed it.

    Solid 5 stars! Convenient and easy access to all at Pantai Cenang. There's food truck nearby and the beaches is 5 minutes away! No problem to get place to eat or shopping. Booked a family room with queen size and two single bed. Its clean and cozy. They have a small pool which is good for children and want to have a swim. Staff are definitely friendly and helpful. They even bring us to the room and assist us. Sure will come back again.

    we are really happy with the place! the location was really good with food trucks nearby and the beach is just 5 mins away. the staff was lovely (shout out to aziman!) so check in was smooth and the room was replenished daily ☺️ will definitely come again!

  • 4/5 Souffi R. 1 year ago on Google
    Need greater sound proofing between the rooms - could even hear the guests next door. Overall great location and nice deco with few shortcomings otherwise making it a pleasant stay - power points at awkward places, shower door can't be secured properly, no proper ironing board, patchy wifi and no proper luggage spaces. Ended up putting my bags on the floor - not so dignified for a hotel stay.

    Love the this hotel! We got the family room for three of us and it was very huge. There is a food truck street beside our hotel so there was no difficulty finding dinner. Cenang Mall and Cenang Beach are just a five minutes walk away. The activities were really fun too!

    Location is very good since is in Pantai Cenang. Room is spacious and nice but is a bit on the pricey side. Fairly clean but we did faced one cockroach.

    I am writing to complain about the poor service from the receptionist on 24th June around 5pm. We were received by a guy, unfortunately I didn't catch the name. The first thing that he told us was "The room is booked for 2 but why did you come with 3 people?" "If you booked a flight for 3 can you book for 2 seats?" with a really rude and condescending tone and repeated the same few times. Admittedly we did book a Queen Studio with max occupancy of 2 but came with 3. As a hotelier yourselves I believe this is a norm practice for guests and typically we wouldn't have any issue. We understand the policy, any hotels could impose such a policy but do it with manners as a service provider. Tell your customer nicely instead of storming off straight in our faces. This really ruined our experience and set us in a terrible start of our vacation. We were told to either upgrade our room or pay RM100 for the extra person. We opted to pay the extra RM100 and the receptionist said "sebab saya baik, saya bagi free breakfast untuk dua orang, tapi UNTUK DUA ORANG JER YER" He did emphasize on the only for 2, I guess to show he's really kind yea? Another thing was "Saya bagi extra towel and toiletries ye sebab saya baik". Please learn how to talk to people nicely. Here are some other feedbacks: 1. Breakfast is from 8-10 am but at 8am the cafe is not even open yet. Guests have their own schedule to follow too. 2. Room door is heavy yet without a stopper. During checkout, the damper fell off with the slightest force (I guess you would have known who's the guest by now). Noticed that the damper had been loose at first. Anyone who pulled the door slightly hard would face the same, this could happen to any guests. Suggest to get a higher quality door damper that comes with a stopper, it was hard to keep the door open. 3. Room not soundproof. We can hear sounds from the street at 2am. Of course, I would also like to commend a few things about the hotel: 1. Love the concept of an art gallery infused into a hotel. Really enjoyed looking at the arts in the lobby. 2. Room is spacy enough. 3. When issue with the door happened, I went down to the receptionist. There was two lovely young lady who helped during checkout. Really polite and kind when I told her about what happened, they promptly request to check the room and inform that there is no issues. Kudos to them, please belanja them some tealive or something. That is what a good receptionist should act like. Receptionists are the first touch point for guests and give the first impression of the hotel. Someone like the first guy we met spoiled the hotel image and the whole service experience. Beautiful hotel but honestly wouldn't come back or recommend it to others. P/S: To the guy that received us, in the email I sent I attached link of the list of courses that I have helped to research for you that you might want to consider taking. Maybe it will help the hotel and you πŸ˜€ Best wishes.

    We had a good family outing here at Arch Studio for 3days 2 night stay. The pricing is reasonable for 2 rooms. The location was very central. Walking distance to the cenang beach and shopping outlets. There are many duty free shops around this hotel. Moreover there are some interesting sites to visit. There is an Under Water World Park where a variety of fishes and sea creatures are exhibited in glass aquarium. I also shared about the historical site of the legendary Mahsuri. There are various other places of interest which we couldn't cover due to this short visit, but planned to come back some time soon.

    Great location. Friendly staff and had a great time staying here. Not too far from center of Cenang (about 3-5 min walking distance). Do note you may need to take your luggage yourself via staircase if you book 2nd floor room. No lift. Everything else is great.
