Pros:

The location

Cons:

The bathroom quite smelly.
And the bathroom should have a curtain on the door so the light isn't that bright. Need a blackout curtain for the bathroom door

Budget hotel but comfortable
Pros:

Close to the airport, and everything is easily accessable from here. Rooms are like in the pics, but the bathroom is pretty small and interesting. But it was clean:) Aircon is new, silent and works well.

Cons:

Walls are so thin you can hear everything from the next room, even when they brush their teeth, but its quite common in Malaysia.
