Tokman Inn

I booked this hotel because the reviews were incredible considering the price. It also stated there was an outdoor pool and had pictures of it. But there is no pool unless you book a pool suite that has a small private pool at triple the regular room rate. The pictures and their business card say there’s a cafe, but there is not one on site. There is also a vending machine shown in the pictures that was not there. Since there was no pool, I offered to pay the difference and upgrade to a pool suite and was told it was not clean but I’d be notified when it was ready. I waited but was not notified by the next day. I prepaid a 7 night nonrefundable stay but on arrival the girl in the office only showed 3 nights and wanted to know how I wanted to pay. I showed my confirmation and got that straightened out. When I get in the room, it’s pretty much what you’d expect at that price. There’s no remote for the TV and it had no picture but did have sound. They offered to have someone look at it the next day but I asked for another room. The next room had a small 12” flat screen that had a bad screen making the picture look like it had a glare. The electrical outlet is halfway up the wall with nowhere to lay any item you want to charge unless you have an extra long cable. The pluses are there’s a mini fridge and kettle. The shower has hot water. There’s clean towels. It’s very close to the Thursday night market. And only a 10 minute walk to Cenang. I opted to leave after one night. It’s a 1 or 2 star at best. The photos showing the pool have been removed after contacting trip.com

The inn is located in the middle of 3 major roads. 5 stars. It is kind of scary walking at night because it's not super lighted so 4 stars. Easy way finding and central location. It's about 5 mins to cenang beach and I recommend going to the Temonyoung night market when it opens.(short walks everywhere). The inn itself comes with a mini fridge and kettle, some complimentary tea, do bring along some adapters and extension wires if you require. The heater for the shower is warm and the Aircon is adjustable and that's super awesome for what I'm paying for. The staff are the highlight there and are really awesome , 5 star service. The inn does get a bit noisy, which is not suitable for light sleepers with the natural surround sounds (frogs, ducks, roosters coming alive at night) and it's good to bring along noise cancelling headphones or plugs. Especially when it rains when the nature surround sound pairs with the rain hitting the metal roof. I borrowed an umbrella from the staff. Otherwise, for this amount (SGD96) for 5 nights , I am more than satisfied with my stay. Towels are clean and neatly setup upon arrival, clothing racks(both fixed and movable), bring your own toiletries. Thick blanket, great shower heater and great air conditioning. Switch the Aircon off to save electricity when you are not in. (Eco-tip). You need to pay an admin fee of 5 ringgit upon check-in. Otherwise, fabulous stay.

First, I booked this hotel because of the reviews that were incredible considering the price. It also stated there was an outdoor pool and even had pictures of it. But there is no pool unless you book a pool suite that has a small private pool at triple the regular room rate. The pictures make it appear they have food available also but they do not. I offered to pay the difference and upgrade to a pool suite and was told it was not clean but I’d be notified when it was ready. I was not notified by the next day. I prepaid a 7 night nonrefundable stay but on arrival the girl in the office only showed 3 nights and wanted to know how I wanted to pay. I showed my confirmation and got that straightened out. When I get in the room, it’s pretty much what you’d normally expect at that price. There’s no remote for the TV and it had no picture but did have sound. They offered to have someone look at it the next day but I asked for another room. The next room had a small 12” flat screen that had a bad screen making the picture look like it had a glare. The electrical outlet is halfway up the wall with nowhere to lay any item you want to charge. The pluses are there’s a mini fridge and kettle. The shower has hot water. It’s very close to the Thursday night market. And walking distance to Cenang. I opted to leave after one night. It’s a 1-star or 2 at the best. The false photos have thankfully been removed after I contacted the site that I booked on.
