Room was spacious, clean, and beautifully furnished. I particularly enjoyed the comfortable bed and the modern amenities, including the smart TV with Netflix and YouTube. The alkaline water dispenser in the room was a thoughtful touch, providing both hot and cold water at my convenience.

Bathroom was too tight and small with no door in shower area hence outside of bathroom it can get wet. We have four person booked but every day gave only two towels and when requested more they only reluctantly gave. Poor space used because outside of bathroom there was so much unused space.

6/20/2024 It's stated as a family suite that can accommodate 4 people. When I requested for 4 bathrobes as there were only 2 in the room but the explanation was that it's 1 suite and I connecting standard room, therefore can only give 2!!! The breakfast provided was also sub standard for a 4 star hotel with the amount I paid per night. Although the staff are friendly and courteous, food and drinks were not top up in time. That's the first time I encountered in a hotel disappointing!!

Got a chance to stay at the Trove Hotel recently. Had a Club Deluxe Room 2709. The check-in was simple, just IC for verification, and we are set. The room was clean, spacious, and everything working well. Loved their alkaline water purifying machine in the room, its eco-friendly, and gives good water. The bathroom comes with full toiletries set and a powerful shower.
In terms of facilities, the hotel has a gym, a pool, the do have some meeting rooms, a convenient store, a car rental agency, a spa center, a bar and a cafe. If you want to eat out there are also nearby shops you can go for. Trove also has a collaboration with Nelayan restaurant nearby for a buffet hotpot and grill package.
The hotel breakfast is nice, and I loved their nasi lemak ayam rendang. They do have quality cold cuts too and a few live stations, including cook to order eggs and also a roti john, murtabak, and roti canai station. Others are standard DIY noodle stations, good selections of local and international items, salad, desserts, pastries, and fruits.
Also tried their RM88 afternoon tea set, which is amazing. I loved their skewers that come with the set.
Parking is quite ok, but it's a different lift to the parking and the rooms.
Location wise, very near to the causeway.

Fast and easy check-in. Frontdesk staff are friendly.
We stayed in the family suite which is a connecting room of executive and deluxe (my conjecture ).
The rooms are spacious, equipped with water dispenser, no bottled water. No carpet flooring which I prefer. Carpet trapped dirt, dust and bacteria. Rooms are clean. Hair dryer in one of the rooms generate loud noise when turn on, so scary , seems like going to explode. Desk phones in both rooms not working. ‘Do Not disturb’ button not working. The small mirror attached to the bathroom wall suppose can switch on also not working. Executive room has a big bathtub, kids love it. Bathrooms are not bright enough. Both rooms doesn’t smell good, slight foul odor linger. Hence, rooms’ maintenance should improve.
Pool very small and water cloudy. Foul smell at the area between the pool and Le Bar.
Breakfast spread is good, quality not bad. Many dishes no food labels, should label it. Some food unable to tell whether is it beef or chicken or fish. Beverages should label. Staff should consistently check the food stations to ensure neat and cleanliness because many inconsiderate guests make a mess.
We had the Christmas buffet dinner. The spread is great. We love it. Food quality mixture of good and mediocre. Meat dishes like roasted chicken, turkey, salmon fish, lamb were so-so. Live band and santa clause entertainment can be better, however overall still acceptable.
