Pros:

It's a little tricky to get around town from there. I think it's a student dorm, which is fine for a few days. There are walkable shops but the busy road requires bravery to cross.

Pros:

There is a glass panel next to front door. Can see into the room easily especially when it is dark and light is on inside... No privacy... Very concerning...

Towel in bathroom was loose, needs fixing... Stains on chairs and one of the bedsheets.

Otherwise great place. Please fix the glass panel next to door and I will surely recommend this place to everyone.

Pros:

It was a pleasant stay and escape from the craziness of George Town. There is a bus station conveniently nearby that made it feasible. Staff was always available and able to resolve issue promptly. If only the air conditioning was working, it would be perfect. But the swimming pool was good.
