Bon hôtel
Pros:

L’hôtel est très joli et accueillant, il est situé juste en face d’un centre commercial et pas très loin de george town.

Cons:

La chambre que j’avais donnait côté rue et il m’a été très compliqué de pouvoir trouver le sommeil avec le bruits des véhicules toute la nuit.

性价比很高，不看细节的人，对得起这个价格
Pros:

性价比高，酒店整体的布置挺好看，装修很特别，拍照很出片，位置逛着很方便，旁边就有大商场，711，步行几分钟就能到老城逛吃。

Cons:

床品的卫生情况一般，隔音不好，晚上有人很大声的看手机刷视频，洗澡的声音都能听见。
