Castle Townstay is another accommodation I tried in my last experience in Kapit. As the inn I intended to stay had fully booked, I had no choice but to try other accommodation that was available. My first impression of the hotel is like any other shop houses accommodation in Kapit.
This place do not have any check in counter or anyone manning the accommodation. One will have to walk to Andy Emporium Company (beside Famous Bakery) to pay for the room and get the keys. One benefit of staying at this place is that they do not collect any deposit beforehand.
The labelling of the rooms here are one of its kind. Instead of each room given a number, it is given alphabet and each room is given a name of a person.
Depending on the room, the rate ranges from RM 50-120. I opted for Room B which comes with a rate of RM 75 per day. The room is small but should not be an issue if staying alone. The room and bathroom is reasonable clean. It isn't noisy outside after late evening and at night.
Water dispenser machine is readily available at the pantry at the common area. This is something I didn't expect from such accommodation.
When it comes to accommodation in Kapit, one should not have high expectation of the options which are available here. Castle Townstay still able to offer a decent place to bunk in and I have no problem coming back here again in the future.
