“Rainbow Hotel delivers exactly what you'd expect for a budget stay in Alor Setar. The location is convenient, close to the expressway and Alor Setar Mall, and I found the strong shower pressure and cold AC a welcome surprise; however, outdated furniture and potential ant issues are things to consider, but I think it's still a solid choice for a quick overnight.”
