Hotel Pelangi

Peninsular Malaysia's Northeast


Brightly painted and with a harbourside location, Hotel Pelangi is a comfortable option that's convenient if you'd like to stay near the jetty for boats to Pulau Kapas and the bustling Marang Market. Rooms are simple but clean and well maintained and more than OK for an overnight stay. Meals are available in the pleasant Coral Cafe downstairs.
