Detailed Reviews
Check in this hotel for business trip. It is a small hotel but well maintain and easy to go to the room with 3 elevators at the hotel. Nice room with nice view of Kuantan city with complete amenities. The very basic breakfast and simple. The staff are quite friendly. Basement parking very small and limited. The guest has to park outside and need to move car before 8 am. For me, it conveniently located in the city centre, this hotel does the job well, if you don't expect too much.

The exterior of the hotel looked grand and the price on the banner hanging outside the building was enticing. As we were just looking for a night stop over before resuming our road trip to Kelantan, we decided to just stay at this hotel.
The customer service staff on the night we arrived was kinda cold. I felt that we were treated as if we were some kinda nuisance. That aside, upon stepping out of the elevator to our room, we were greeted by a dark, spooky ambience.
The room was very musty. The toilet was dirty. The musty n shabby ambience of the room just made the kids kinda hesitant to sleep on the bed too. Err...luckily it was just for one night but that too was kinda torture for us.

i've been using this hotel for the past 2 yrs wherever i cme to kuantan due to its location...near to the court as i am a lawyer...
what can i say, if there is another hotels situated near to the court, i wud definately choose the hotels...
service is very poor...hardly to see a smiling staffs....
the major diffrences- new colour for the room..
same old lame, lazy, slightly rude service...
ahh..one thing, no wifi in the room...only at the lobby which is funny...
on 1 of my trip, asked the reception, where are the remote control for the tv, simple and hilarious answer- 'mungkin sudah rosak ...en kna pakai manual!'
i wud definately suggest this hotel for anyone except those who want to be so near to the court...not a bgood value for your money.....
management shud be changed......

Dont stay in this hotel. For the last 6 years i've been travelling and stay in all type of hotel from budget to 5 star hotel i really have a terrible experience with this hotel. With a bad reception counter staff who telling alot of lies and in the end put the blame on me. I went to the hotel on 11 july 2012 for official 1 day visit to kuantan with 3 of my colleagues. 2 weeks before i already book 3 rooms. That is the only hotel which i manage to book after tried to book so many hotel in kuantan. Due to the national sport event in kuantan at that time so its very hard to get rooms at that time & i was very happy that shahzan hotel still have rooms at that time. They just ask my name & hp no. For booking. Fyi i did ask the rate of their rooms at that time & we were eligle for that rate therefore i straight away book 3 rooms. I was happy coz i manage to solve my problem. But come to that day on 11 july 2012 when we were about to check in around 7pm i was told that there was no reservation make under my name. I was shocked becoz after travel so far & tired some more i was very dissapointed with the reception staff who took my booking at that time. And the girl who is working at that time also really dont know how to handle the situation. All the reasons that they gave me at that time were very unconsistent, 1 person said that since 1 july their rate increase to rm200 and another person said since 7 july the rate change due to the sport event. When i was making my booking at that time the recetionist at that time didnt even tell me that they have different rate coz i juz ask what is their room rate on my trip day. They should know how to answer their clients. And the best part is after we manage to find other hotel which was much better then shahzan hotel, at 9.30pm that night i receive 2 miss calls from shahzan hotel. I didnt ans at that time coz i didnt realize my fon rings but i return the miss call, dat why i know that the hotel call me. That time i was wondering how they can have my number and when i asked them to check my name on their booking list they said that it was not there, i dont have any booking and how come they can call me. And when i return the call they said that they didnt call me and what i did was juz return the miss call & i didnt even dial their fon no. I think this hotel have problem with their reception counter staff. All the staff at the reception counter need to be given a course how to treat their customer. They are very rude. This hotel really gave bad impression to malaysian citizen. Really bad image for malaysia in the eye of foreigner from other country.

Visited this hotel with a partner in February 2016 following a friend's recommendation. Upon hearing and reading about the background of the hotel, coupled with the room rates, expectation was set a bit high, perhaps comparable to the likes of Swiss-Garden and Vistana.
The main advantage of this hotel is its location. Located in the middle of Kuantan town, this hotel is easy to find. Room was generally clean and concierge was pleasant during our stay.
Our expectation was unrealistically high for this hotel. Despite its status, the hotel seemed like it needed a total revamp and refurbishment to make it more pleasant. Building/room was old. No toiletries were provided in the bathroom - okay, it did provide a small soap, toothbrush and sanitary bag. Beddings were old and yellowish (they're originally white, by the way). One of the bed lamps was not functioning and the wardrobe door could not close properly. Underground parking was limited and unpleasant.
Our advice is if you set your expectation reasonably despite the hotel's status and location, the hotel will not disappoint you.

It is my first to Kuantan on Company Trip and I was put in this Shahzan Inn. I found nice, little big quite and I like most is it view to the State Mosque.
And frankly speaking I liked to stay hotel near to mosque as I am muslim myself.
Food for breakfast average as it only a simple menu. But it doesn't matter to me. The only matter, is nobody great you at the door. To me it is first impression about the hotel service as rate it also average.
Anyway I like to stay in this hotel and I will come again to Kuantan and stay there.

I always stay in this hotel whenever I've been to Kuantan. This hotel located in the middle of the town, within walking distance to a few places such as Kuantan Parade, Mosque etc.
This hotel have just a small room for their standard/superior room. Interior quite ok for its class. Suite also available for those who need spacious room. It's breakfast can be considered superb for its class. Not so many choices but delicious. Their swimming pool considered ok. The best thing was the view from the swimming pool. Its facing the field where the wind nicely blown to us.
Whoever goes to Kuantan, don't forget to have some food at Tanjung Lumpur area such like "sata", seafood and local foods.
