Ok for the price

Amaras Motel is a simple but enough comfortable hotel. There are a few options of restaurants, markets, free shops and laundry nearby. Room is not the best but is ok for the price. No windows, no room service. Quiet, good shower and enough space. Is a good value if you are in a budget.

My experience was .......

Not the cleanest, good location but not the cleanest place around - no tv channels, just a tv in the room for show- the glasses had mold growing in them, and a few cockroaches. But for the right price. 30-45ringgett -Go for it

So poor that you must not stay

First thing i saw in toilet was a big cockroach,they reluctant to change room for me saying all rooms are the same and ask me keep quiet about it. My pillow was a bad old cotton pillow, changed another with yellowish spots all over the inner cover and mosquito bloodstain on outer cover, then another one with cigarette smell on it, ended up i cover it with a towel to sleep. The Bangladeshi staff told me that they do offer mangrove tour so i agreed with the price he said and reminded him a few times to remind him to let the person in charge know that we wanted to go for it. On actual day 1 hour before departure i went to the counter and asked,the manager actually told me through phone call that its not possible to get it with the price told by the staff with no apology at all! So ended up we drove all the way to Tanjung Rhu Jetty by our own and found a cheaper price with the same package through another agent. Furthermore, this motel is managed by 2 Bangladeshi most of the time, especially at night you can see they actually putting on a mattress at the counter to sleep, means no one knows who entering the main door if they really fall asleep, they dont have accurate information, they cant promise anything, they dont have the knowledge to guide your itinerary,they smoke. Plus, a lot of mosquitoes,spider webs,another species of cockroach,a gecko fossil,torn towel,dirty curtain,spoiled light,low security which you cant lock from inside,noisy aircond, smelly dirty toilet.

The lady at the information desk wasn't helpful at all. Talking to her is a waste as she will only answer you with nod her head and smile. Thankfully, the owner of the guesthouse came to entertain us. He was very nice and helpful to us. At least felt our stay is quite good.

가격대비 적당한 호텔입니다. 출장시 한번 정도 이용해도 무방할것 같고, 가족 여행시는 조금 부족 할것 같습나다

Bed was okay but hotel far from everything

The hotel isn't anything special. The bed was okay. A cup was provided but no coffee making facilities. When I asked if I could have an electric kettle I was told they did not have one. No toiletries provided except soap and towel. No toilet paper provided. There were shops to buy things but not really anything else near by.

Fine location but poor reception

convenient location to ferry terminal. Poor reception lady services!! She asked me to leave luggages even just 20 minutes to 2pm when there are plenty of rooms ready to use (13:40). Fortunately hotel manager offered me a room immediately. Wifi only at lobby, the reception lady requested for my booking slip again when I was about to head out. Her attitude was poor that saying she doubted if I have paid online with hotels.com. Come on!!

不滿意的經歷

是便宜，但不舒適，房間門不能在裡面加鎖，房間有跳蚤吧！大家都全身癢。 這間容易找錯，我們找錯了要再走才到。 房間燈壞了，叫他們換就叫我等，等到check out都還沒換。WiFi差到等於沒有。 唯一的優點是靠近免稅店，附近也有食的，但我不確定那個夜市是否天天有，我第二天再去已沒有夜市。 如果我再去，我不會選擇這間，感覺太糟了，基本條件是要清潔舒適，但這兩樣都滿足不了 服務員英文不好，晚上是沒有人在lobby的

Good Location!

I choose this hotel based on the distance from the jetty since I knew we would be walking. We walked and ended up at the Amara Guesthouse because the location of the hotel points somewhere farther up from that hotel. This is not the location you must continue over the bridge and it is right on the left after crossing the bridge. The staff at Amara Guesthouse were helpful to point us in the right direction. Once we arrived we were checked in and went up to our room. The internet would not work in our room at all so that was a little frustrating. The room was clean and well kept. The TV only had less than seven channels and most were not in English. We stayed two nights at this hotel and then tried something different because the internet was not working in our room. The location of the motel is located very nicely and you can research many of the duty free shops if you are looking for that. We rented a motorbike so that helped a lot to get around the island. It was a nice stay however; I would look for something cheaper. Staff were great and always friendly. Also, check out the street market on Saturday it is located right beside the bridge.

Mid class budget hotel in central location

Pillow covers were missing, toilet could have been cleaned better. Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. One evening around 3am some outsider walked in to find his mate, woke entire hotel up and night stuff did not regulate the situation. Another morning 4.30am bunch of people came and did not settle in until 7am. Kids ran around, loud conversations carried in common grounds. Responsive night workers would be appreciated. Rooms are in reasonable size.
