Good 3 star Hotel but Poorly Maintained
Pros:

Celyn Hotel is located near a mall which is an ideal location. The hotel furnishing is as good as any 3star hotel however the maintenance of the hotel was disappointing. The room and bathroom was not thoroughly clean and had leftovers from the previous guest. I had to personally scrub the bathroom. Bedsheets also had greyish hue to it including the towels rather than the fresh white colour that normal hotels would have. It is ashamed that such a hotel is poorly maintained and it seems as though the management hasn't taken any noticed of it.

An okay stay
Pros:

Had to change room because the air conditioning was not working properly. After change of room the air conditioning was average as well. Not cold enough. On top of that the mall was doing some sort of renovation at night which was very noisy, but hotel staff was kind enough to inform mall management to cease work on hotel side.

Pros:

The hotel staffs were polite and friendly. The room was clean even though the facility was a bit old. It was good for short stay with a shopping mall nearby. However, it is not recommended if you stay there without your own car. No public transport available.
One thing should be improved: the late check out normally comes with a reasonable charge. The hotel's charge was comparably costly at MYR30 per hour while a night stay cost about MYR150. No flexibility to waive or reduce the charges even though i wanted to check out around 4pm.
