Stay was good, with minor issue such as lightings.
Pros:

Room is a bit dark, especially bathroom with no light at the sink. We didn't have hotel breakfast. Location is excellent and there are lots of vendors and food selections.

Cons:

Lack of lightings.

Budget overnight stay is ok
Pros:

Nothing much tho location is not heart of Georgetown .

Cons:

The elevator only 2 and can only squeeze 2 pax with luggage + 1 child or 2 adults with wheelchair very tight . The room we booked is a 3 person room and bathroom are not walk in but need to step up steep step not convenient if you have elderly or very young children. Bathroom dimly litted and kind small. So wheel chair can't go in for helping those need to shower . Aircon really strong on one side of the room and basic . Don't expect much if u are choosing and floor carpeted are the thin types and looks aged

Good experience, will come over and stay again if visit Georgetown, Penang.
Pros:

If the other room is noisy, you could hear it on your side so keep that in mind, overall it's a good hotel. There are lots of options of food near the hotel

Cons:

Nothing except the room noise dampener, could be slightly more silent but its alright for couple of days. And also the Air Conditioner can't set it high to higher temp, it remains almost the same temp.
