Pros:

Al property is convenient and good. As mention like the name Old Penang Hotel, the environment quite old but i love it. The only problem is iron also too old with protruding wire. May be dangerous if got electric shock. Attached toilet is good & clean but the shower holder is broke. So have to hold the shower head while taking bath. No mirror in the toilet but got one outside the toilet with sink.

Comfy but filthy
Pros:

We're backpacking around the world so we have stayed in sorts of places but this has to be the most neglected with regards to cleanliness. The bed sheets were stained and had what looked like cigarette burns in them, and the was alot of someone elses hair on the bed.
After we got our sleep sheets out and own pillows cases on... the bed itself was comfy.
Wifi & TV didn't work in the room (not the end of the world)
The most disappointing part was that we paid extra to have private bathroom and it was disgusting. I had to really scrub the walls sink and toilet seat clean. (The falls were clean) super neglected.
The plus side was that there were tiles loose in the ceiling that let in some natural light..
