Hotel O Kota Bharu Near War Museum Formerly Azam Hotel

Hotel O Kota Bharu Near War Museum Formerly Azam Hotel is a basic city-center option in Kota Bharu, useful for short transit stops or budget stays near Pasar Siti Khadijah, Uptown Dataran Bandaraya, the mosque, food spots, and other central attractions. The location is the clearest strength: it sits in town, is easy to find, and works well for getting around without much friction. Rooms can be spacious, with aircon that may be strong, comfortable pillows or beds in some rooms, a desk, wardrobe, TV, hot water, and enough storage. There is a lift to all floors, a refillable water station in the lobby, and iron facilities in the corridor. Motorbike parking may be available out front, while car parking is limited and can require local council coupons during daytime hours. The tradeoff is maintenance. Bathrooms are the biggest weak spot, with repeated problems around dirty toilets, poor smells, cramped layouts, standing water, stained or worn surfaces, and weak shower or heater setups in some rooms. Rooms may also feel old, dusty, damp, or musty, with worn bedding, tired mattresses, old furniture, and occasional cockroaches. Staff can be friendly and helpful, but late-night access has been unreliable, including situations where the front desk was unreachable or the front door was locked. Front-facing rooms can also get loud from the busy road and occasional late-night racing noise.
