Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The location is great! Near to many tourist attractions and eateries. convenience store also just down the street. surrounding is safe. room is great, toilet got bathtub which is great. ample parking space (this is the reason why i choose this hotel). price wise, great!
only perk is TV channel limited to 3 local channels.
Great location! The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants, shops, and attractions. It’s easy to get around and very convenient for travelers.
Nothing, everything was great
The location is superb in georgetown
No room slipper is provided
Nice place to stay. Room is spacious. Everything is fine except the bathroom shower water pressure is low.
Lokasi strategik..berdekatan dgn semua tmpt yg nak pegi
Bilik biasa jer
Very clean and friendly staff
Water heater
Room is cozy
Staff is not friendly
just okay
need to ask for room change due to the aircond issues, but new room was good
The safari theme was quite nice .. my son enjoyed it. Staffs were friendly and polite.
I booked for galaxy theme, the hotel management did not inform that the galaxy themed room was under construction. Only realized after checking in, did not even mentioned at the reception. Breakfast was limited not value for money, I can even list down the menu, it was very limited choice of food, imagine they don't even have a chili sauce. Clogging at the bathroom, while showering or after using the bathtub, the bathroom clogged and was flooding, felt very uneasy. Even complaint on this but they never overcome the problem or at least provide an available room which is not clogging.
Room was very pleasant for the price and the check-in/check-out process was so easy. Location is top-tier.
Probably the pillows need some improvement.
Nichts hat mir gefallen!
Nach einer Nacht geflüchtet Wir haben es hier genau einen Tag ausgehalten und sind dann fluchtartig in ein neues Hotel gezogen. Eine Stornierung oder Geld zurück gab es nicht, aber das war uns der Abbruch wert. Das Gebäude war glühend heiß, die Zimmer stickig und stinkend. Die Badezimmer waren komplett versifft und alt, und der Hotelsafe war nicht mal festgeschraubt. Bloß die Finger weglassen! Sogar 1 Stern ist zuviel ,Booking sollte mal das Hotel überprüfen finde das ist ne Täuschung!!
Strategic location near to town, staffs were helpful and friendly.
Parking spot was very narrow
aircond keluar angin sahaja
Nothing,instead I regret for choosing this hotel for my family vacation
Very old hotel that was refurbished Facilities were either broken or defunct Aircond is not functional with thick dust and the room is very hot Bath tub is broken No hot water,my kids showered in cold water
Strategic location. A basic hotel with basic amenities. Basically you get what to paid for. Just a place to rest while roaming around Penang Island
The hot water for shower comes after a long wait.
I like this hotel as it is very near to the eateries area. Furthermore it is just walking distance for everything
NIL
Good because it is nearby Chowrasta market and other facilities.
The toilet is a bit smelly sometimes. Don't know where it came from...
The design. Thats all
Cleanliness was not top notch
The cleanliness, nice views and very good staffs and services. Thank you very much guys. You did very good job👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
未明确告知是禁烟房间,被罚了50块钱
The location and parking

The room is comfy and wonderful 💯
The location is easy to find muslim friendly food everywhere
Needs some refurbishing
aircond not cool
Nice
Close to Red Garden and good value for money Staff were excellent and very obliging breakfasy
Breakfast often ran out of items such as Cornflakes and were not renewed
Location, a lots of eatery around.
After a heaving rain, hotel was out of power about 10 hours. It was fitted problem.
Service cleaner very bad
Sehr zentrale und tolle Lage des Hotels mitten in Georgetown. Personal war freundlich.
Leider ist das Hotel schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen und abgewohnt, Zimmer war nicht wirklich sauber. Personal war freundlich, jedoch hätten wir eine 2. Zimmerkarte benötigt, wird aber grundsätzlich nicht ausgegeben.
I was there for business. So was out all the time. Only went to the room to sleep
No good english TV channels
Twice sent request for room 804 but no reply instead they reserved room 709 which is inconvenience to rest n sleep due to loud noise of karaoke n after checking finally given room 304 n it's noise too due to lower floor n passing of buses,bike,n cars n if they sent a mail saying no availability of room 804 n i would have cancel my bookings n look elsewhere other nearby hotels ....actually use to be regularly staying at hotel n lately avoid it but came bck again to give a try n still cannot handle minor problems n clients requirements
They fail to sent mail regarding my request n hope the management look into room lighting n but tub
Ok
No
Location in middle of Georgetown.. can brisk walk to see what in the area
The carpet of room..need to change to tiles or something else. Its about cleanliness
Room is clean Decent internet speed
The bathtub is relatively small and the water seep through the toilet door causing the floor mat to be wet Only serve vegetarian breakfast buffet with eggs and limited choice
good location
Dont expect the hotel as per photos shared just 2 star hotel however its clean old hotel
Everything
Takde
I like the location, very close to all the famous eateries in Georgetown. I like the guards in the parking space, they were really friendly and happy to do their job
The staff at the receptionist need to be trained better. On the second and third day of our stay in the hotel, we heard the staff arguing at the back of the receptionist area and the argument sounded violent and unnerving. I wanted to ask the receptionist for help with something, but they were busy fighting.
Good Location
Parking Limited
The staff was hospitable, and when we forgot my sister's ring, they helped us find it. The room was very spacious. The location is absolutely great!
The WiFi was slow. The bathroom didn't have towels, so we had to request them. The soap was not replaced. The lighting in the room is too dim.
Would not recommend.
The hotel is very old, dirty and not properly maintained. The walls are very dirty. The beds are not comfortable and the bed sheets are not clean enough. The carpets have holes everywhere. The rooms stink. The room lights are so dim that I cannot see anything. The staff does room service in their pjs, so unprofessional. The staff does ironing of sheets in the corridor right infront of the lift. The bathrooms have limescale everywhere. No towels provided, until we asked. The worst is that the water is unclean and smells like sewage, so we had to let it run for a few minutes until it cleared up.
Nothing except for the receptionist who was quite sympathetic to my condition
Everything! The hotel is being refurbished at a very poor taste at that. The rooms reeked of paint smell that potentially could trigger asthma, the walls were moldy, carpets were old and smelled like dirty socks, the bathtub in the room creaked when I stepped on it and was covered in mold one side as well. Despite numerous complaints, the managers did not bother to fix the issues and left the poor receptionist to handle the matter. No one contacted me to apologize as well
Location - a number of good food in walking distance
Everything's good.
Location for the tourist attractions are nearby
The carpet looks old
Location
The cleanliness of room is very bad with limited facilities. Breakfast was not good at all and only vegetarian food was offered for breakfast.
Pintu bilik air agak longgar dan sentiasa bergoyang bila ada tekanan angin masuk. Bila pintu bilik air terbuka, ia terus menghentam kuat pada dinding bathtub. Bunyi2 ni agak menganggu setiap kali ia berbunyi. Limited parking. Lain2 ok, bilik cantek dan selesa.
