From management to room service all departments are excellent in their service. Special thanks to Jennie and Ken who made our stay memorable. Would definitely come back to stay the next visit to Penang.
Room was simple & was clean. Felt very open but unfortunately there was a leak from the AC + hole in the roof in my room. I just avoided the puddle so it was no biggie to me. The location was conveniently close to the ferry, the jetties, Chulia Street & pretty much all of historic Georgetown (5-15 min walk). Would definitely recommend.

Reception staff wasn’t helpful when asked for another pillow and refused to give us. Room needs face and hand towels. However the location is the most convenient to go about. Female staff was helpful when asked about wifi issues. Certainly will not stay there again.
Very good hotel with nice bathroom and bedroom
Unfortunately the foot ferry from butterworth drops you about a 10 min walk up the road.
Be careful of traffic
You have to pay for tourist tax so I would advise you to get a receipt for this as I was nearly charged twice

Non smoking hotel, but smokers still smoke inside rooms.
Staff were helpful to relocate.
The WiFi is not reliable, the speeds were around 5mbps each time I checked. The room was clean, but there is some noticeable wear that’s not shown in the pictures. Overall, good hotel for the price and very walkable to all of the attractions in Georgetown.
It’s a very good location for me to get to the ferry and walking distance to many of the attractions in town. But don’t stay in the room facing the main road especially 1st and 2nd floor. Very noisy all night long from the cars on the road.

Unfriendly staff at the front reception. Housekeeping failed to make beds on many occasions.
Hotel was across the street from a buss turminal. There was a Free "CAT" buss that circled the George Town area that we used daily.
The hotel was located on the mian foad that circled the Panang Island making it easy to go and see everything we wanted.
Hotel staff was friendly,wonderful and spoke English with us. They were accomidating when asked for extra towels, ice, etc. Plenty of hot water for showers and room was air conditioned. Very confortable and the price was good--we needed two rooms for the 3 adults.

The front desk person could not communicate
One room key so you couldnt leave air con on to cool the wee hot box when you went out
The toilet nearly fell over when you sat on it
Had to ask for wifi password
The listing said there was a safe but there wasnt
The noise from the road was very loud
When calling reception from room or mobile there was no answer
Accueil correct, la chambre était confortable sauf au niveau de l’isolation par les fenêtres (sans double vitrage) donnant sut une rue à grande circulation.
Nous avons pu changer de chambre sans problème.
Petit déjeuner très frugal !
Emplacement correct.
Mais l’hôtel dégageait une tristesse, bien que moderne et bien équipé.
Breakfast finished by 9.30am, nothing much left but yet charged RM22 for additional children. Charged additional RM 40 for a child but neva even give any extra beds or anything... Then y charged additional?
