9.4/10 Exceptional! (26 reviews)
My stay at the Citadines was fine overall. I opted out of the breakfast option, and i was glad that I did because they dont have hot breakfast. They only have coffee and pastries. Ive stayed at more budget friendly hotels that offered a hot breakfast, so that was a little let down. Also the sound proofing was not great. I was able to hear my neighbor above me dragging furniture around and I was able to hear him pleasuring himself multiple times per day even with my head phones on. I did not hear the guests to the side of me at all, only the guest above me, which was odd. The area around the hotel is just a giant highway, so its not walkable, you have to order a grab to get anywhere. Cleanliness was ok, and the front desk staff were great. The only small downside was it was a little difficult communicating with them because they were not fluent in English, but they knew enough to get a general idea of what they were saying.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Darat travel package cost?
Go from wondering to wandering with our Darat travel packages, which start from just £639. Select the hotels and flights that match your travel style. Then, add on one or two sightseeing tours for a one-of-a-kind getaway.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Darat travel package?
Don't stress if you're rethinking your Darat travel package — it's possible to cancel or amend your booking. And if you've booked it within the last 24 hours, you may be able to do it at no cost. However, bookings made more than 24 hours ago may incur fees from your airline, hotel or car rental company. We totally get that life can sometimes throw a spanner in the works, so make your way to our Customer Service Portal if that occurs. When you're ready to make changes, we'll be here to help.
How do I get a cheap travel package to Darat?
Bundle, bundle, bundle. Flights, hotels and rental cars — combine whatever you need into a Darat travel package to save loads of cash. Score even better deals when you include extras such as activities or tours to your booking. But that's not the only impressive part. You have the freedom to customize your holiday your way. We offer more than 550 airlines and 1,000,000 properties around the world, so that everyone has a chance to travel and fulfil those holiday fantasies.
Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Darat holidays?
We do. Expedia has teamed up with online lender Klarna to help you conveniently pay for your holiday in manageable instalments. Simply pick the payment plan best suited to your needs during checkout and take the stress out of budgeting for your trip. Don't forget to bundle your accommodation, flights and car hire with Expedia to get the biggest bang for your buck. Browse our flexible payment options below:

  • Pay monthly holidays: Escape on that dream holiday sooner with Klarna's monthly instalment plans. If paying just a little each month works for you, pick this option at checkout.
  • Pay in instalments holidays: Into the idea of paying for your holiday in multiple transactions? Then select this Book Now, Pay Later option with Klarna.
  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your getaway (rather than the total upfront) makes it easier to hit that "book now" button, consider a low deposit holiday payment plan with Klarna.

Where should I stay in Darat?
A visit to Darat isn't over until you've seen Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang Hill. Stay nearby and easily access these fantastic tourist attractions.
What are the top hotels in Darat?
If this will be your first time in Darat, book a room at Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang or G Hotel Kelawai. Both offer comfortable beds and are favourites with many travellers.
How far in advance should I book my Darat holiday?
Savvy travellers often book as early as possible. You can usually look up international airfares on Expedia up to 12 months before your intended flight. If you're purchasing tickets last minute, there's no need to worry. Discounted prices sometimes become available in the last weeks prior to departure.
What does an Expedia Darat travel package include?
It comes down to what you're looking for. If you're travelling alone, you might decide to bundle flights and hotels. Taking the entire family to Darat? A travel package that includes rental cars, flights and hotels might suit you better. Expedia gives you the flexibility and freedom to customize your travel package.
