Pros:

The place was really clean, the cleaning boy is at the property till late afternoon so all the time he keeps place really clean.

Room was big and nice, paid 55myr night. AC works very well and also nice window possible to sleep with open window withouth ac just fresh air.

Near the beach, you cant swim there water is dirty but its nice to wake up and seat on the beach.

Good eating area with big fridge, plates and cups,cold and hot water dispensor. Tea + coffe.

Cons:

Sometimes its a bit noisy from nearby resturant in the evening and also stray dogs on the beach which not always are calm.

If you’re looking for a relaxing beach stay, this isn’t it. The beach isn’t even a proper beach.
Pros:

It’s in a decent location, not too far of a walk from the center and other shops restaurants etc. There is a cafe underneath with nice seating and stuff too although we didn’t eat there so not sure how good the food and stuff is.

Huge recognition for the cleaner/room service guy though however. He really did try to make the best of the bad situation we were in, arranging to get us new sheets and trying to make sure we were comfortable.

Cons:

Firstly, the picturesque beach it advertises itself as being next to is nottt the beach that is there. It’s next to a type of fishing beach were local fisherman store their boats and stuff. The beach is very smelly and has lots of plastic and rubbish along its shore and after initially looking at the beach we never went back. This was super disappointing for me as it was the main reason I booked this accommodation over the various others in Penang that were similarly priced yet seemed much nicer. The fisherman also have their dogs off leash in the car park of the accommodation which can be a little daunting if you’re not an animals person.

If you make the mistake of booking this place and are given room 7 immediately request a change in room. The room had mold and signs of damp on the ceiling, the furniture was quite battered and dirty. Just an overall unclean and not nice environment to come to when first arriving at your accommodation after a long day of travelling.

We requested a change in room and were given another room instead but upon looking at the sheets there were blood stains on the mattress topper and the furniture was still quite battered and dirty.

The place is generally just not very well maintained at all. A lot of things need replacing and clearly they have a damp issue that needs resolving. The owner just wasn’t great. Yes he allowed the change in room after us making it clear we were planning to leave the accommodation, but to try and put us in that room when it is in that state and there were clearly other rooms available was wrong.

The new room we were put in was a little better as I said, however it still had the blood stains and the dirty furniture. It’s only because the lovely housekeeper came and swapped the mattress, topper and sheets that we even stayed there.

I’m, fine. In that, I slept, I charged my phone and actually. That is fine. But I do think the by the sea and the photos
Pros:

Ummm.. the bathrooms etc are actually quite good but as a man I felt a bit concerned for how comfortable women must be sharing bathrooms

Cons:

There’s nothing at all to say where it is. Looked a bit of a building site down stairs, the room is about as basic as can be. The location whilst staying it’s by/on the beach is vaguely true in that there is a tiny section of beach but mainly guarded by the stray dogs. There’s nothing really by the property, except for a cafe that served very good coffee but ultimately seems really really out of place, it was a surprise to find it there

Pros:

Room and bathrooms were very clean and staff were very helpful.

Cons:

The location of the property is a 25 minute walk away from the main area and has no restaurants or shops near by. The property was difficult to find as there is no signs outside or inside the building, we had to go into the downstairs cafe to ask where it was. Upon arrival our room had ants, however the staff were amazing and cleaned the entire room and replaced the bedsheets, we never seen any after that.
