We enjoy our stay here!
Pros:

The location, because it was very accessible to grab/taxi Pickup. Less crowd and traffic
but, overall, we enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, the location was okay, and the area felt safe. The staff were also very accommodating and friendly.

Cons:

there's no cafe or restaurant or convinient store around the area. most cafe and restaurants are around 10-15 mins walk from the property.

Fijn hotel in het centrum
Pros:

Fijn hotel dichtbij meerdere bezienswaardigheden. Vriendelijk personeel. Prima kamer

Cons:

Er zaten vlekken in het beddengoed, ik denk dat deze er niet uit te krijgen zijn maar het ziet er wel een beetje vies uit. Airco stinkt een beetje.

Clean and comfortable room. Near to public transport and central market

The room is clean, bed is comfortable. They allowed late check out (subject to availability) which was nice. Breakfast was alright.

Cons:

There's no parking provided. But right next to the property there's a parking space that cost RM15-20, depending on the person there lol

alles in allem gut, aber Preis Leistungsverhältnis in der Hochsaison stimmt nicht ganz.
Pros:

schöne Aussicht, sauber, kein ungeziefer, bequemes Bett, zentrale Lage, Personal Recht nett, sie haben haar conditioner an was selten ist und ich super finde! für 35 Euro würde ich wieder kommen, für fast 45 pro Nacht aber eher nicht

Cons:

ungepflegte Dachterrasse, keine komplimentären Wasserflaschen, relativ teuer im August (ca 45 Euro), dusche tropft, keine Fernbedienung für die klimaanlage sondern fix montiertes Wandteil man muss immer aufstehen um etwas umzustellen, bar praktisch nicht vorhanden, es gibt keinen kräutergarten, auf Google Maps steht es gäbe einen. fugen im Bad und Boden etwas abgenutzt. etwas mehr Ablagefläche in der Dusche wäre super. der Fernseher ließ sich in meinem Zimmer leider nicht mit dem Internet verbinden und es gibt keine englischen Fernsehkanäle.

Nous sommes chanceux d’avoir visité pour la seconde fois la Malaisie
Pros:

La disponibilité et la gentillesse du staff
La propreté des lieux et de la chambre
Les différentes parties communes très bien agencées
Un petit déjeuner souvent décrié dans les commentaires mais que nous avons beaucoup apprécié

Cons:

Une manque une piscine mais nous avions la semaine précédent séjourné au Milieu de l’océan sur une villa sur pilotis donc pas de regret
