This hotel has a great location in Georgetown, with many attractions, malls, and restaurants within walking distance. The excellent and friendly staff adds to the convenience. Additionally, there are plenty of local eateries and food stalls nearby at night. The spacious and clean rooms have received much praise from guests.

Some guests have mentioned that the rooms are small and require refurbishment, and the soundproofing is poor. It is important to take note of these concerns before booking.

    “Wonderful stay”

    I had a wonderful trip, from the food to the facilities, and especially this hotel. We stayed as a group of four in one room, which was comfortable, spacious, and well-ventilated. The receptionists and security staff were always friendly and supportive whenever we needed assistance. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which was decent. Overall, considering the price, I am very satisfied with the service provided by the hotel.

    “The bus terminal is nearby and it's very good.”

    The outlet was easy to use without the converter I brought from Japan. It was very convenient as I could charge two devices at the same time. I moved between hotels in Georgetown, but this hotel was so good that I stayed for two nights. Although it's outside, there is a laundry on the first floor of the hotel, it's clean, safe, and I think it would be very helpful for long-term guests. There is also a desk, so I could work on my computer and it was comfortable to stay.

    “Much more worth the price.”

    Close to important places in Penang, near shopping malls, there are many coffee shops. It's easy to travel and you can take a leisurely stroll as well. The staff service is excellent. You can leave your bags here, it's safe, and the air conditioning is cool.

    “I stayed for 2 nights out of the 6 because it was good.”

    The water is drawn directly from the water server in the elevator hall, so there are no plastic bottles in the room, but it was better that way since it was hot and I was thirsty. There was also no need for a converter for the outlets, and there was a desk, so it was convenient.
