Top Kuantan Hotel Reviews

AC Hotel by Marriott Kuantan

AC Hotel by Marriott Kuantan

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at AC Marriott Kuantan from 22-25 September 2026, after spending 2 days at Teluk Chempedak. Check in was very efficient and smooth and the front desk staff gave us a room early, for which we were appreciative. The room was not large but clean and comfortable. Overall, the hotel looked well maintained except for the lifts which was a bit dated. The dining area for breakfast was large. Breakfast spread was great and staff were attentive and cleared our used plates promptly. The only downside is the location. The hotel is situated next to a 6 lane busy road with virtually no amenities around. There are no convenience stores nearby. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at AC Mariott Kuantan while we explored Kuantan's old town. We will certainly stay in this hotel again if we were to visit Kuantan in future."
