Muslim Friendly hotels in Lumut

There are a few budget Chinese hotels on Jalan Titi Panjang.

Hotel Era - "Backpackers Lodge" - 1st floor, 7&9 Jalan Raja Muda Musa, has a very convenient location - it's directly opposite the bus station, and 2-3 minutes walk from the Pangkor ferry jetty. Prices are on the high side - 25 ringgit for a single person fan room with shared bathroom, and 60 ringgit for an air-con double with private bathroom. For 35 ringgit you get a room with two very small (shorter than normal) and very saggy beds with no blanket or top sheet, a fan, and a hole in the ceiling. Not recommended for light sleepers - the curtains are tissue thin and flashing "Christmas-tree" lights are hung outside, plus it's very noisy - as well as the busy primary street traffic and there are two TVs in the ground floor restaurant (which is open 24 hours) and another in the hotel lobby, and the local mosque has loudspeakers just along the street which issue loud and lengthy calls to prayer. The shared bathrooms (only two - one male, one female - so expect queues) are grubby but serviceable, with western toilets and cold showers.

Virgo Batik Resort - Offers 89 accommodation rooms, all of which have air-condition, cable television, Minibar with alcohol removed, and private toilet and bath. Some of its amenities include restaurant, ballroom, laundry service, and wake-up call.
