casa lagenda hotel: sg petani

well, time untuk berduka-lara perlu dihentikan.. life must go on.. my blog pun perlu diceriakan dengan sesuatu yang menarik yang boleh dimanfaatkan oleh other people..


so then, rite now.. i will continue my post to write about my other stay in sg petani aritu..


the second nite, i stayed in casa lagenda hotel in sg petani (utara)..


dis hotel quite nice, new hotel kot.. located in lagenda heights, tak berapa jauh from the village mall..


i got here by taxi from the northern lodge hotel.. the taxi driver, an indian is a nice pakcik..so i gave him some tips la.. aha~ tambang taxi from northern lodge ke casa lagenda kalau tak silap around rm 8 kot..huhu..


i arrived there around 1 pm.. check-in dulu baru gerak jumpa bushro nearby for a quick lunch together..


ok, the rate.. ada perbezaan harga between weekdays n weekend.. sg petani is in kedah.. so the weekend will be friday n saturday la.. untuk weekdays, the rate will deduct another rm 10 for each type of rooms chosen.. the deposit plak, will be rm 52.. so these are the rates for the rooms..


1 katil double - rm 78

2 katil single - rm 88

1 katil double + 1 katil single - rm 108

2 katil double - rm 118


as i am a lone ranger, so i choose dis type of room..


1 katil double.. fit for me n the laptop to online..


ada astro yang paling penting (hbo, cinemax, 8tv, espn, discovery..banyak channel n sangat2 fine reception of the astro viewing), ada small fridge, ada heater for tea-making..


view menampakkan pintu bathroom..


for this hotel, i dapat bilik bernombor 220.. for the 2nd stay of my vacation..



so, selepas letak barang after i check-in, then i headed to see my colleague in lagenda heights for our lunch.. as i have no transport there, jalan-la~ tak jauh sangat jaraknya, tapi around 10-15 minutes jugak la kalau nak round-round situ cari restoran yang best nak makan..


i couldn't meet my abg tonite.. ada sumting appeared.. so take good care of myself sendiri la.. seb baik petang tadi dah pi makan ngan bushro..


malam tu, i singgah sekejap kat tesco to buy some drinks.. sempat amik gamba sekejap before gerak.. equipped myself with the bluetooth, here i go..



balik tak lewat sangat.. sampai kat bilik, menyambung facebook n all the internet stuffs.. oho.. abg ada minta buat sesuatu dengan laptop..


so the next day, i check-out lewat 1 jam..


dah siap suma, then gerak to kubang pasu ngan my luvly abg untuk syam n sara wedding, which earlier posted in my blog..


some notes for the staying in this hotel..


advantages of this stay here.. the most important part, ada wi-fi available for free.. tv n astro viewing is sangat nice dan enjoy tengok tv depan laptop.. katil dia sedap..walaupun tido terganggu sebab hal ofis.. the security is good, sebab the reception memang ada kat depan n jaga the customer's privacy..


while for the disadvantages plak.. room is quite kecik la sebenarnya.. dekat sangat jarak dari hujung katil dengan pintu bathroom macam leh view gambar dekat atas tu.. boleh lompat jer dari dalam bathroom terus ke tengah katil..hoho.. then, bathroom kecik sangat.. like 1/6 of the room..sempit, susah nak mandi shower kat dalam bathroom tu..huhuhu.. oh, another disadvantages termasuklah ke-tidak-friendly-an of the receptionist if there's sumbody yang diorang tak kenal come n if the customers bawak barang berat.. my abg come to get my stuffs nak bawak turun sebab banyak n berat sangat..but they seem tak kesah n tak friendly.. the same goes when i came back from some shopping malam tu, barang berat tapi diorang cam tak bother to ask n to help..huhu..


another notes about dis hotel:


name: casa lagenda hotel sungai petani

address: 15, jalan lagenda 2, lagenda heights, 08000 sungai petani, kedah

tel: 04-425 8972 / 04-424 8972

fax: 04-422 7972


but overall, staying here is nice kalau u takmo diganggu n nak memperoleh ketenangan sangat.. just stay in the room, buat hal sendiri, tengok tv macam takde esok dah, online sampai check-out.. how nice the vacation kalau takde gangguan langsung dari ofis yang come across banyak kali yang uninvited..huhu..

Hi, nice review!

Anyway, before your stay in casa lagenda, u told us that u were from northern lodge.

Any reason why you transfer from that hotel to casa?

akak eskrem said...

thanx for the comment..

actually, northern lodge is in sg petani selatan area.. n casa lagenda is in sg petani utara area..

so, i tukar hotel ni pun sebab in the southern ni tak berani sangat nak jalan la.. jauh sket dari tempat tumpuan.. lagipun in casa lagenda's area tu open sket, senang nak merayap2..

other reason i guess, dekat sket with my honey?? hmm.. lagipun, dah alang2 staying in budget hotel ni, baik experience beberapa skali so boleh tulis kat blog how n how nanti.. ^_^

by the way, thanx~~

oo i see..

i tot ade unfavourable reason u tukar hotel...

oklah.. perhaps my stay at nothern lodge will be fine. ade member kawen area situ, so not so much nak pi merayap2 ni..

thank again for the reply. appreciate it very much...(",)

akak eskrem said...

oh.. northern lodge okey.. i dah banyak membebel kat my northern lodge post earlier.. hehe..

katil n bathroom pun sangat comfortable.. cuma astro la leceh sket.. tapi murah.. but the wi-fi is good la, kalau nak online..

bila tu nak stay?? hopefully, everything will be okey.. pls enjoy ur stay there.. anything, leh jer update sini.. ^_^

Found your review when googling Casa Lagenda. Thanks to your review, I think i will be staying there this week. Nak tanya sikit:
- Depa bagi tak tuala & sabun?
- Depa kata parking kat jalan. Banyak tak tempat?
- Dari hotel ke Village Mall boleh jalan kaki tak?

Thanks for the great review!

akak eskrem said...

Dear mister anon, tengs drop by here..

Towel n sabun, provided.

Parking, banyak. Dis hotel located di bangunan kedai. So bersusun parking serong-serong depan tu.

Village mall dekat je. Boleh jalan kaki, dalam 5-10 minit. Belakang village mall pun ada tesco, so agak senang je sebenarnya.

Oh ye, lagi satu. I left sg petani dah lama jugak. Maybe tempat tu dah sibuk ke cemane, so yang ni tak dapat nak tolong.

Happy staying! I'm going to sg petani jugak dis month. Hoho.. Take care yaww!

Casa Lagenda is a 2-3 star budget hotel, and any expectations one may have as to the quality of its rooms must be tempered by this fact. However, what I got for only RM68 per night (double room), far exceeded my own expectations of what a Malaysian budget hotel should offer. Among the pleasant surprises, typically associated with a 4-5 star property:
- Free wifi internet in rooms
- TV with Astro satellite channels, including HBO, Cinemax, Astro Ria, Astro Supersports
- A fridge stocked with reasonably priced soft drinks (RM2 per can)
- Free coffee & tea making facilities
- House-brand shower gel and shampoo
- Professional check-in and check-out: pre-signed credit card slip torn in front of you upon checkout, detailed invoice & receipt folded neatly in an envelope.

RM68 is half of what you'd pay at some of the famous budget-hotel chains, which lack many of the above amenities. Casa Lagenda offers no breakfast, but there are a variety of restaurants and coffeeshops within close walking distance. There is also a mall nearby with a Starbucks, KFC, Pizza Hut and cineplex, as well as a Tesco.

I stayed for 1 night on business. The hotel well-suited my needs, as my event was being held in Lagenda Heights, where the hotel is situated. Add to that the areas's close proximity to the Sungei Petani Utara toll exit, and you have the perfect location. There is plenty of parking on the streets - in the daytime, parking is chargeable at RM0.60 per hour from 0830-1730. Reception sells the Sg Petani Municipality parking coupons for this purpose.

On the downside, the room is very small, with an even smaller bathroom (see my photos). Also, the furniture and fittings seem a bit worn, but still usable.This may not be the place for a family holiday, but as a comfortable pad for a good night's rest, it is excellent.
