A bit disappointing if you consider the high score on Booking
Pros:

Location central. Standard and cleanliness also ok.

Cons:

Very strange and impersonal check-in, which happened in the pizza-joint downstairs. No internet overview of the bookings, very amateurish. No personal service, tips or anything like that. I would say this place is overrated on Booking.

Pros:

Greatt staff, very clean, quiet from outside noise. Well furnished common room.

Cons:

Doors for rooms are a bit noisy and the automated hallway lights are really bright and coffee on a lot. Air con is in the hallway and need to use an extraction fan to draw it into your room which is a bit noisy and let's the light in from the hallway lights. Smoking section is it the front of the pizza shop which closes at 10.

Simple et efficace
Pros:

L'emplacement dans la ville et à 5 minutes à pied du ferry est super. L'endroit est simple et petit mais avec tout ce qu'il faut ! Facile à trouver, wifi qui fonctionne bien, accueil fait par le personnel de la pizzeria en dessous.

Cons:

A savoir, il n'y a qu'un toilette et une douche par genre

Perfect location for anyone travelling solo to Penang!
Pros:

The location is very conveniently located to most of the iconic Penang sites as well as famous restaurants. Was able to walk to most places without any trouble. Nice, clean and modern facilities such as shared kitchen, bathroom, water dispenser, microwave as well as laundry and dryer which is also available in downstairs restaurant for a small fee.

Cons:

Doors were a hard to open and lock but otherwise nothing else.
