Perdana Kota Bharu

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed for one night at the Perdana kota Bharu after a missed flight. It is our first time in this city. Upon arrival, we were impressed with the amazing service provided by Mrs Zuriati. She went above and beyond , upgraded our room and provided such kind and thoughtful service. She accompanied us to our room and made sure we were comfortable. The room we stayed in was new, very clean with a modern bathroom , pool view and all amenities , including a prayer mat. The breakfast buffet was really varied, including local and western dishes. We got to try local dishes such as Akok. The hotel is about 15 min from the airport so it is very practical. Overall , this was a great surprise. Thank you again Zuriati for your kindness and great service ! I will stay at the perdana when I come back to kota bharu."
