Pacific Express Hotel Central Market

Amazing. All staffs are cordial, smiling and ready to help for anything and everything.

Friendly and helpful service :)

First of all a room without a view doesy mean a room without window in my opinion. However that is what you get. The hotel is popular with Chinese and Indian. They have different standards to loudness and etiquette than Westerner travelers. The superior room is definitely worth the upgrade. Swimming pool is poorly maintained, and next to the smoking area.

Very aggressive clientele, clear foreigners are not welcome. Extremely noisy. Air conditioning is linked to other rooms, air gets musty & thick with moisture in middle of the night. Breakfast is a pitiful joke. Thin watery rice porridge, baked beans from a can, chicken curry, scrambled eggs, chicken "hotdogs" cut up & passed off as sausage, rice & a mee gorang that's loaded with MSG. Oh, fake OJ, and toast. So thankful I didn't pay an extra $20 for the room w/breakfast included. If you pay on property, it's just $5 per person. (20RM) breakfast time is limited to 7-10am and the only decent dish (a chicken curry with potatoes, little chicken, lots of potatoes) runs out quickly after 7am and won't be replenished. The only dished that get topped up are eggs, rice. Expect to elbow your way to buffet and play musical chairs, as there's not enough seats available for sheer # of guests. Laundry can be done for an inflated fee of $4(16RM) per item. (Not per kg). You can do laundry yourself across street. Airport shuttle is double the taxi rate. Tours booked through hotel service are double & triple the price at tour agent. Gym was ok, pool ok. Rooms are moist & bathroom shower grout coated in mold.

Overall the place is good and comfy. But everything is shabby and feeling is quite 90s. The rooftop pool is super nice.
