Pros:

The location was very nice

Cons:

We had room number 1, which was next to the lobby and the lobby's bathroom. This gave plenty of noise, sometimes in the middle of the night and from 7am onwards there was constantly noise. There were also small things in the room that could be fixed.

Bien ubicado y con estilo
Pros:

Ubicación, el estilo boutique y que el baño tuviera ducha separada con mampara, algo poco habitual en Malasia.

Cons:

Nos tocó la habitación al lado de la recepción y del baño de cortesía, por lo que había más ruido de lo habitual.

Definitely worth it for a short stay!
Pros:

Very good choice for a short stay (2-3days). The room and bathroom were small, but beautifully designed with great aesthetics, and the bed was extremely comfortable.
The location is excellent — within walking distance of all the main attractions such as the Clan Jetties, Armenian Street, and the food markets.
Definitely worth it for a short stay!

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

La chambre était sale, contrairement à ce que montraient les photos : murs décolorés, moisissures au plafond, cheveux et poils dans le lit ainsi que sur le sol. La salle de bain était également très sale, avec, encore une fois, de nombreux cheveux dans la douche. Il semble n’y avoir eu absolument aucun ménage avant mon arrivée, la poussière étant omniprésente. Bref, un établissement à éviter. De plus, l’insonorisation avec le couloir est très mauvaise.
Après avoir constaté cet état déplorable, il m'était personnellement impossible de loger dans cet établissement qui n'inspirait aucune confiance. J’ai donc demandé à annuler ma réservation. On m’a répondu "d’accord" en précisant qu’ils en parleraient à un supérieur concernant le remboursement. J’ai donc pris un autre hôtel.
N’ayant aucune nouvelle, j'ai décidé de les recontacter, pour m'entendre dire qu’aucun remboursement n'était possible puisque j’avais déjà effectué le check-in. C’est un non-sens total : il fallait bien que je récupère les clés pour constater l’état de la chambre. Je trouve ce procédé très malhonnête. Aucune solution n'a été proposée lorsque je me suis plaint. Je n’ai effectuée aucune des 4 nuits que je devais passer dans cet établissement et on me refuse tout de même un remboursement. C’est très malhonnête.
