Grand Riverview Hotel: Nice view of the river from here

The Grand Riverview Hotel is formerly known as Diomand Puteri Hotel. It is located along the Kelantan riverfront, giving its patrons nice view of the river especially at dusk. Located at the heart of Kota Baharu, the hotel is within walking distance to shopping complexes, financial centres, offices, cultural and historical attractions.

As a 4 star hotel, the rooms are equiped with facilities such as air-conditioned, telephone, television (with in-house movies), hairdryer, personal safe and tea/coffee making facility. However, the furnishings look old and outdated. The hotel is also equipped with the largest ballroom in the city and other amenities such as Business Center service, gymnasium, sauna, swimming/wading pool and 3 dining outlets (local/international all day dining, Chinese restaurant and bar/lounge).

Nice view of the river from here.

KB INN: Kota Bharu's friendliest hostel.

KB Inn is one of the nicest places ive stayed. On the outside its not much to look at, the accomadation is basic but the rooms are clean, the owners very friendly and hospitable, and will treat you like one of the family if you give them respect as well. When i stayed my friend and i (due to our speaking a little malay) were invited out for the day with the family on numerious occasions.

They have a communal area where you can meet fellow travellers and also relax in the evening with VCD's and the television.

Light breakfast is also available should you want it.

Rebana Guest House

This place was a real surprise to me.
An amazing kind of guest house, made of a few different picturesque buildings set in a beautiful garden. Interesting furniture and decorations, too. And friendly staff and guests with some common spaces for meeting new friends.
