This is the second time I am staying in this hotel. Will visit again.
Pros:

Service provided by staff.

Location - very convenient

Cons:

Towels have unpleasant odour even after request for change.

Odour is similar to towels not dried thoroughly - musky. Perhaps it’s time to change the service provider of laundry used by hotel.

Excellent location. Good accommodation for a short 2-3 days stay.
Pros:

Excellent location. Fantastic helpful friendly staff.

Cons:

The hotel room is old needing renovation. Shower is not separated from toilet so gets flooded with water after shower. Otherwise not a bad accommodation for a short 2-3 days stay.

Good enough stay to rest if you’re out and about in Penang.
Pros:

Staff and reception are accommodating on top of its good and central location. Next to a laundry, has a cafe, near the bus terminal/mall. Has a security staff outside so it’s safe to walk at night. Decent wi-fi connection, room is at the end of the hallway snd is quiet except for the street noise/mosque sounds. Nearby Kimberley where the street foods are at. Thank you!

Cons:

The bathroom floods when you’re taking a bath. Thankfully the staff is accommodating and provided us with all we need.

Hotel needs refurbishing (drainage and furniture). Looking forward to this hotel to be renovated in the future.

Pros:

Emplacement imbattable pour découvrir George Town entièrement à pied : tout est à proximité et c’est clairement le grand point fort de cet hôtel.

En revanche, la chambre était extrêmement petite et très sombre. La fenêtre donnait directement sur un mur situé à environ 50 cm, ce qui renforçait une véritable sensation d’enfermement. Pour les personnes sensibles à la claustrophobie, cela peut être assez inconfortable.

Dommage, car avec un tel emplacement, l’expérience aurait pu être bien meilleure.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

The location is amazing! It's right in the centre of Georgetown (but that just mean parking options are limited). The bed is very comfortable with a lot of pillows. The water pressure is very nice for the shower. The aircon is good and cool the room very fast.
I requested a room further from the lift (the first one I had was right in front of the lift), and the reception managed to move me to another room. Very nice service! The guard was helpful in helping me find a car park.

Cons:

There are only less than 20 parking spaces. If it is full, you'll need to park along the roads. But there's a lot of traffic, so you need to have good luck.
