I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and very relaxing — perfect for a short getaway. The environment is calm and well-maintained, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the surroundings.
The location is also very convenient, as it is not far from other beaches such as Pantai Kemasik, which makes exploring the area even more enjoyable.
Most importantly, the staff were extremely kind and helpful. I accidentally left my bracelet behind, and they were honest enough to keep it safely and return it to me. I truly appreciate their honesty and excellent service.
Highly recommended, and I would definitely stay here again!
Our check-in and checkout experiences were smooth and easy. Arrived on 7th January after booked a room, unfortunately it was fully booked. Came back on the next day and the receptionist was very polite in explained the hotel rules regarding no smoking, where to park your car, also what time are the check-out time.
They also provide surau for Muslim travellers to pray, so it's muslim friendly hotel to be chosen. During your stays, these hotel are near to several melayu restaurants which is 5 minutes driveway from the hotel. Everything is fine for me. Thank you for the hospitality given especially to the hotel staff, because of this pleasant experience I'll definitely recommend it to my others colleague.
At first glance, the hotel looked very impressive from the outside. During the check-in process, the receptionist was very polite and courteous. Every question was answered kindly and with detailed information about the hotel and its facilities.
The room was very comfortable and well-equipped with a convenient work desk, making it easy for me to complete my work. The Wi-Fi connection was fast, and the bathroom was clean and well-maintained.
My husband also had the opportunity to enjoy the swimming pool provided by the hotel. The pool was Muslim-friendly, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed. In the evening, we decided not to go out for dinner and chose to have the hotel buffet instead. The dining experience was very pleasant, and the food was delicious. We were satisfied with the quality and felt that it was worth the price we paid.
We also booked a package that included breakfast. The breakfast was superb and very tasty, and the staff provided excellent service by clearing the plates quickly and efficiently.
Whenever we visit Kuala Terengganu in the future, we will definitely choose to stay at Hotel Raia again.

✅ 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 must stay at grand con hotel if i came to KT. Thanks a lot to the receptionist because give me the early chek in. The room is clean as always. I like the room view of hotel is the drawn brigde. The hotel is also near the mayang mall , the distance just about 5 minute walking.
Overall, everything was good and we had a pleasant stay. The kids were very happy with two waterparks and a big swimming pool, which was a big plus for families.
However, on the first day, there was water on the floor in the room. Not sure whether it came from the air conditioner or due to heavy rain, but it might be good for the management to check.
The location is quite far from the city, so it’s more suitable for those who want to relax rather than go shopping or explore food spots. That said, Pok Nong Ikan Celup Tepung is only about 15 minutes away, which is convenient.
Overall, a nice place for a relaxing family getaway.
Hotel located at the city of Kuala Terengganu. Easy to access to nearly shop. Surrounding with almost familiar bank in town. Clean is superb. Room provided both fan & aircond. Can change to fan when it is too cold. Suitable family with child. Good job.
The hotel is in a good location, surrounded by shopping centers, a beach (I didn't get a chance to swim there), a beautiful promenade where young people enjoy the sunset in the evenings, and Chinese restaurants with delicious food.
The room is small but has everything you need. However, ours smelled of urine, which we couldn't get rid of even after two days with the window open and a fan.
The shower is good, with an socket, towel racks, and good water pressure. Overall, it's fine for a 2-3-day stay; there was no noise in the evenings, and the internet is decent.
If it weren't for the smell in the room, it would have been perfect.
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.
Good things; Overall it is a nice resort, nice breakfast. I love the environment, big room, big bathroom, cozy. I just come during the maintenance, so there was no gym.
Opinion; Not suitable for solo traveller unless you are very brave. Something I heard during a night consistently but there is no people on the rooms after my room 😂. I just ignore.
Some for improvement;
1) Shower is clogging, need to replace.
2) No lock at the behind door, it is related to safety. I put some indicator and when I return back the item is moved. But not sure human or non-human caused 😂. Also I never saw any security persons do rounding.
Overall it is a nice resort.
Bardzo dobry

AAnonymous UserThis used to be my favourite hotel for business trips, but sadly, it’s no longer well maintained. The floor was dirty, and the mosaic tiles in the bathroom had turned yellow. The bed I slept on smelled damp, as if the bedsheet wasn’t fully dried — very uncomfortable. The bedroom floor was also not clean. I really hope Payang management will look into these issues and bring the hotel back to its previous standards.
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.
GGuest UserThe hotel is very close to Kuala Terengganu Airport, about a fifteen-minute walk. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy, making for a very comfortable stay. The staff were enthusiastic and helpful. Definitely recommended!
Llove holidayWe initially had a frustrating experience as our towels were delivered quite late. However, the situation was handled professionally by Manager Iza, who personally delivered the towels to our room and sincerely apologized for the delay. Her prompt action and attention to guests made a positive difference.
Overall, the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We booked four rooms and requested them to be located near each other, which the hotel successfully accommodated. However, housekeeping services need improvement, as one of our rooms was not serviced and there were some inconsistencies in room maintenance during our stay.
The hotel’s location is excellent and very convenient. It is close to everything we needed, with Restoran Singgang Budu located right beside the hotel. There are also laundry facilities nearby, and plenty of food options within walking distance, making it a great choice for travelers.
The staff were friendly, always smiling, and genuinely tried their best to accommodate our requests throughout our stay. While housekeeping could be improved, the service recovery by the management team and the hotel’s strategic location made our overall stay enjoyable.
GGuest UserWhen we checked into the hotel, the front desk informed us that there would be renovation works in the hotel, and there might be noise from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. They asked whether we would like to move to the neighboring Ming Paragon Hotel instead, and I agreed to change.
Both hotels share the same parking area. When booking the hotel, it was stated that parking was free. However, in reality, there is a charge of RM2.20 per day, which is actually acceptable. The problem is that every time we exit the parking area, we must inform the front desk staff.
This morning, I left early and there was no staff at the front desk. A phone number was left, but when I called it, the phone was switched off! With no other choice, I had to leave, and I was charged RM8.00 for parking.
When I returned to the hotel and explained the situation to the front desk staff, he told me that this was the parking operator’s charge and that the money could not be refunded!?
I am extremely angry!
AAnonymous UserIt's close to the city. I opted for the optional VIP parking right in front of the hotel (RM10/night), which was very convenient as public parking spots can often be full if you return late. Overall, the room was great and I was very satisfied. The air conditioning was cold, and the water heater worked perfectly.
I booked the family suite with 4 single beds specifically for a ground floor room. The iron was located just outside, conveniently close to the room in the corridor.
There was a Coway water dispenser, which was handy for refilling water or making instant noodles.
EewtayGreat place to stay in the Kuala Terengganu city center.
We stayed 2 nights on business travel and this hotel provided everything we needed!
And i'm extra happy with the Iron and Iron board they provided!
Uuneyy_6924 Hours in Paradise: Why One Night at Sutra Beach Resort Feels Like a Dream!
Let me tell you something — not all staycations are created equal. Some are just a change of location. But a night at Sutra Beach Resort? That’s a whole different story.
The moment you step into the resort, it feels like you’ve entered a slower, calmer world. No chaos. No rush. Just the soothing rhythm of the ocean guiding your entire experience. It’s the kind of place where time doesn’t just slow down — it almost stops.
I started my stay with a simple walk along the beach. Barefoot, feeling the sand, listening to the waves… and suddenly, everything else didn’t matter anymore. That’s the magic of this place — it pulls you into the present moment without even trying.
The facilities are just enough to keep you comfortable without distracting you from the real highlight: nature. Whether it’s lounging by the pool, enjoying the sea breeze, or just sitting under the shade doing absolutely nothing — every second feels intentional.
And then came the sunset. Honestly, pictures don’t do it justice. The sky exploded into colors, and for a moment, it felt like the whole world paused just to admire it. People gathered quietly, watching, smiling — strangers sharing a beautiful moment together.
Nighttime brought a completely different vibe. Calm, cool, and incredibly peaceful. No loud city noise, no stress — just the sound of waves and the occasional breeze. I slept better than I had in weeks.
Morning came too fast. Waking up to the ocean view felt surreal, like I was still dreaming. And that’s the thing — even after checking out, it still feels like a dream.
One night at Sutra Beach Resort isn’t just a stay. It’s an experience. A reset. A reminder of how beautiful life can be when you slow down.
AAnonymous UserLot of facilities are not working or not available. Request to repair the jacuzzi, they came once, problem was not solved and that’s it. unuseable jacuzzi for the whole stay. Ok for a calm no activities stay, but not for families looking for varieties of activities such as ATV, jet ski etc.
Fairway of the golf course was patchy, and most bunkers are not playable. Greens are ok.
