T Star Cottage Langkawi

We enjoyed and extended our stay at T Star Cottages, which was good value for Langkawi, it was also quiet and peaceful. Slightly removed from Pantai Cenang, but very easily accessible by moped and the distance is walkable in 20-30 minutes. Located near a few good quality and reasonably priced restaurants and easy walking distance to Pantai Tengah beach which was fairly quiet. Team were friendly and available during the designated reception hours. The room was sparsely equipped and the shower cold but it was possible to rent additional amenities such as fridges, hairdryer, mosquito net, iron and additional fan if you so desired.

Although not an issue, or strictly enforced, the number of signs detailing rules and information is slightly overwhelming on arrival which contrasts the otherwise peaceful setting. Only small, but the linens and towels were both made of a similar microfibre material which was not especially effective at drying or particularly comfortable for sleeping in.

Cost and location

It was really green and quiet. There was a beach really close by that was very nice and quiet. The restaurants were great.

The WiFi in the room was not good. But that is just a minor thing

The room was clean and comfortable. The main attraction, Pantai Cenang, is a little far from the location and costs around RM6–8 to reach by Grab. However, Pantai Tengah is within walking distance and is a beautiful, less crowded beach.

I wasn't a fan of the self-service concept. When travelling, it is nice to return to a fresh, clean room every day rather than having to do any cleaning. Although a broom was provided for the floor, there was no practical way to clean or change the bed sheets. Because of this, the self-service approach was not very appealing. Another downside was the housekeeping policy. The bed sheets are only changed after staying at least three nights. It would have been much better if they were changed every two nights instead.
