Comfortable stay in a well-positioned Georgetown location.
Pros:

The atmosphere of this heritage building is part of the appeal - with tall ceilings allowing the sleeping area to be built at the top of an in-room staircase.

Cons:

Sound from next-door rooms travels through permanently open bathroom ventilation slats.

Quite good
Pros:

Near the center of the town, easy to access to everywhere, by just walking. Overall room is quite clean and smells good to stay.

Cons:

The noise at the pub/bad during the night time is kind of disturbing. The soundproof system of the building is okay

Pros:

The location

The shower water was hot for a minute than 25 celcius at most and there was a vent behind me generating cold air in the shower making it a icebox .

Pros:

It's central and right in front of the mall. Also just a few minutes from the ferry port and other major attractions. The first guy that checked me in was very friendly and hospitable.

Cons:

There are two levels and only accessible by stairs. So no heavy checked luggage. Also you can hear everything in the hallway. The bed had multiple hairs on it

Pros:

This is my second time here, and I'm beyond happy that the service and facilities remain excellent. I had a pleasant stay and will definitely return if I visit Penang again in the future. Even though the parking is a little bit far (about a 2-3 minute walk), it is still manageable and not that much of a hassle.

Opiniones encontradas.
Pros:

Nos gusto mucho la ubicacion. La habitacion está diseñada para estar 2-3 dias, y esta bien, pero para mas tiempo no resulta.

Cons:

Faltaba una puerta en la regadera, por lo que todo se mojaba. El sillon frente a la tv duro e incomodo a más no poder. No habia espacio para poner cosas y en el banco donde se podia trabajar era incomodo.

Goede prijs voor locatie en kwaliteit.
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel, mooie kamer met daglicht en erg schoon!

Cons:

Je hoorde de andere bezoekers wanneer zij in de badkamer waren. Ook de leidingen van boven waren erg goed te horen. Hiernaast was er weinig plek om je eigen spullen op te ruimen, wij hebben onze spullen in de tas gelaten.
