We had a good time staying at the The Lanai from July 17-19, 2008 in room #207. The room doesn't have a balcony but the lovely pool view from the floor-to-(almost)ceiling windows, compensate the balcony ;-) Well, it was a simple, clean and basic room, nothing to shout about. Furniture was old but it was nevertheless a comfortable room with... more

We went on a group holiday to Langkawi Island and we've decided to put up 2 nights at The Lanai Langkawi. After checking in and we were handed our respective room keys. I've got room #202 and once we opened the door, we were then greeted with a murky scent, which was pretty unpleasant. Further to that, the furnishings were... more

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at the Lanai. We stayed at this hotel upon recommendation from a very cool older Australian couple walking along the road. I was reading the other reviews and we must've lucked out with the service because the staff were very warm and welcoming. The hotel is right by the beach and was... more

WOMEN TRAVELERS BE AWARE! I was harassed by the staff. I received a phone call at 2am from a male staff member. He asked me many questions which included if he could come up to my room and sleep with me. I hung up and received another phone call quickly after that. The next morning I checked out and demanded... more

Before going we had read the reviews on here and were a little concerned that it may be awful..so we planned to move to another place it it was. We had 15 days booked there during april and we didnt move on!!! The... more

I stayed a week here with 2 of my older children. We all had our own rooms which were clean and excellent with very efficient and essential air conditioning! The pool was lovely although we did not spend all our time sitting around the pool like others but enjoyed the diving, snorkelling and the great sites of this Island. Car... more

I wish I'd taken more notice of the forums on this hotel! The price was not worth the angst of surely staff and tird, outdated accommodation. We booked online at AsiaRooms.com who describe the Lanai has having “attained the highest standard in the hospitality industry in Malaysia”. With the utmost respect to the creative use of language by whoever writes... more

The Bad We stayed for a few days at The Lanai mid-December 2007. Upon arrival, we were given a room different in specifications from that listed in our confirmation email. A request for a change to the room we had booked was curtly and rudely dismissed as “the hotel is fully booked”. No explanation was given by the front desk,... more

The hotel is quite simple, the building is relatively old, facilities are quite basic. The maintenance is o'k, but nothing exceptional. Take a look at the pictures to judge by yourself. The breakfast is again very basic. Nothing fancy - you can choose between pancakes, local noodles (although very tasty), sausages and fried eggs. The pool is large and of... more
