Cukai View Hotel is a budget 1-star property in Chukai, the main town within Kemaman district on Terengganu's east coast. The hotel occupies a compact three-floor building on Jalan Kubang Kurus and offers 50 rooms in total, making it one of the larger budget stays in the immediate area relative to several of its smaller neighbours. Its name nods to its setting: "Cukai" is the older, still widely used local name for Chukai town, and the hotel positions itself as a straightforward base for travellers passing through Kemaman rather than a destination resort.
Guests consistently rate the property well for a budget-tier hotel, with an aggregate review score of 8.2 out of 10 from 31 reviews on Traveloka, described in the listing as "Very Good." Sub-scores are fairly even across the board: cleanliness at 8.1, room comfort at 8.1, meal experience at 9.0, location at 8.4, and service and facilities at 7.9. That meal sub-score of 9.0 stands out for a property of this size and price point, suggesting the on-site food offering punches above its category. Traveloka's listing does not disclose a specific built or renovation year for the property, so this page sticks to what can be verified directly from the current listing data rather than guessing at the building's history.
Cukai View Hotel's structured listing on Traveloka centres on family-oriented rooms rather than a long tiered ladder of room categories, which is typical for a compact 50-room budget hotel of this kind. The listing does not break the inventory down into multiple named tiers (such as Standard, Deluxe, or Suite) the way larger hotels do — instead, it presents room configurations built around flexible occupancy, with the family room format as the primary option surfaced in the booking flow.
The family room configuration is the main option highlighted in Cukai View Hotel's listing, designed to accommodate groups or families travelling together rather than solo guests or couples exclusively. Traveloka's listing does not specify an exact bed configuration, floor size in square metres, or maximum occupancy count for this category, so travellers with specific space or bedding requirements should check the live booking page or contact the property directly before confirming a reservation.
Beyond the family room format, the property's 50-room inventory is spread across its three floors, and the listing references general room availability without naming additional discrete tiers. Because Traveloka's per-room feed for this property does not surface granular in-room specifics such as bed type, room size, or a detailed amenity breakdown by category, this page avoids stating specifics that cannot be confirmed. As a safe general guide: rooms at this class of budget hotel in Malaysia typically include air conditioning and a private bathroom with shower facilities; travellers should always check the current listing or the property directly for the exact per-room amenity list before booking.
Cukai View Hotel's confirmed facilities, as listed on its Traveloka page, are oriented toward practical budget-travel needs rather than resort-style extras. The property does not list a swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre, and travellers should not expect those amenities here — this is a straightforward, no-frills stay rather than a leisure resort.
In-room amenities confirmed on the listing include a cable TV or standard TV, a work desk, and bathrooms fitted with either a shower or a separate shower-and-tub configuration depending on the room assigned. Because Traveloka's structured data for this property does not confirm additional in-room extras such as a minibar, in-room safe, or kettle, this page does not claim those features are present — guests who need them should check with the hotel directly.
Cukai View Hotel sits on Jalan Kubang Kurus in Chukai, the commercial heart of Kemaman district in Terengganu, on Malaysia's east coast. Chukai functions as Kemaman's main town, with a concentration of shops, eateries, banks, and government offices within a short drive of most hotels in the area, and Cukai View Hotel's listing specifically calls out its location near multiple dining outlets as a strength — a genuine convenience for guests who want food options within easy reach without needing a car for every meal.
Kemaman district sits along the coastal route connecting Kuala Terengganu to the north and Kuantan (in Pahang) to the south, making Chukai a practical stopover point for road travellers moving along Malaysia's east coast. For guests flying in rather than driving, Sultan Mahmud Airport in Kuala Terengganu is the nearest airport serving the broader Terengganu region; those planning the journey by air can compare flight options and book flights to the nearest airport with Traveloka before arranging onward transport to Chukai. Once in town, Chukai's town centre is walkable in parts, though most attractions and dining spots outside the immediate area are best reached by car or taxi given the district's spread-out layout.
Traveloka's review breakdown for Cukai View Hotel gives its meal experience a notably strong 9.0 out of 10, the highest of all its sub-scores — a meaningful signal for a budget property, since food quality is often the first thing to slip at lower price points. The listing does not detail a specific named on-site restaurant, so this page does not claim one exists; travellers wanting an on-site dining option confirmed should check current amenity listings or contact the hotel directly.
What is well documented is the hotel's proximity to multiple external dining outlets, called out directly in its Traveloka listing as a location strength. Chukai town has a range of Malaysian coffee shops, kopitiam-style eateries, and local restaurants typical of an east-coast Terengganu town, giving guests plenty of walkable or short-drive options for meals beyond whatever the hotel itself offers. Travellers looking to explore more of the Kemaman area between meals can also browse local activities and things to do around Kemaman on Traveloka to round out a short stay.
Cukai View Hotel's core appeal is straightforward: a centrally located, no-nonsense budget base in Chukai with a strong guest satisfaction track record for its category. An 8.2 out of 10 aggregate score from 31 reviews is a solid result for a 1-star property, and the standout 9.0 meal sub-score suggests better-than-expected food quality relative to the price point. The location sub-score of 8.4 backs up the listing's own claim that the hotel sits within easy reach of multiple dining outlets, which matters in a town like Chukai where having food options nearby without a long drive is a genuine convenience.
This is a fit for travellers who want simple, clean, reasonably priced accommodation in Kemaman — road-trippers stopping along the Kuala Terengganu–Kuantan coastal route, business visitors to the district, or families needing a functional family-room base rather than resort amenities. It is not the right choice for guests seeking a pool, spa, gym, or high-end finishes; for those needs, it's worth comparing against other hotels in the Kemaman and Terengganu area on Traveloka to find a property that matches a different set of priorities.
A few practical notes before booking Cukai View Hotel through Traveloka. Standard check-in begins at 14:30, and check-out is required before 12:00 — plan arrival and departure times around this window to avoid early-arrival waits or late-checkout charges. Non-Malaysian guests should also be aware that a standard tourism tax applies per room per night, in line with Malaysia's nationwide tourism tax policy for foreign visitors; this is a fixed government levy rather than a hotel fee, so it applies regardless of which property is booked.
Because the listing does not confirm extras like an in-room safe, minibar, or a specific named restaurant, travellers with particular requirements should double-check the live listing's current amenity list or message the property directly before confirming, rather than assuming a feature is included. Beyond that, booking is straightforward: select dates, confirm the family room configuration works for your group size, and complete checkout through Traveloka's standard booking flow. For broader trip planning beyond this one stay, Traveloka's homepage is a convenient starting point to arrange flights, activities, and further accommodation across Malaysia.
As announced by Royal Malaysian Customs Department, Tourism Tax is imposed starting 1 January 2023 for all hotel guests that are non-Malaysian or non-permanent Residents of Malaysia. Please expect that hotel will collect the Tourism Tax from you during check-in at the hotel. The Tourism Tax rate is 10 RM per room per night.
