Dirty room
Lousy. One of the worst place to stay, even for a night. Room was so dirty, dusty. Bathroom not clean. Coffee cup stained from previous usage.

good hotel for the price
It was pretty good overall. Daily cleaning, sheets, towels were very clean and tidy. Wi-fi is just ok, i can say it was stable but definitely slow, even for video chat. Cafeteria ladies were super nice and helpful, there wasn't many breakfast choice but i think they're good. My room looked bit old and smell damply but cleanliness and tidiness saved it. Location wise, i wouldn't say it is in the centre of georgetown, walking to old town would take half an hour at least or can take a bus. Nice area though, modern side of the town, also close to china town, lots of nice restaurants about 10 minutes of walking distance.

Good Value for money
The whole hotel has been retrofitted and refurbished.....new beds, mattress and brand new bathroom. Nice residential neighbourhood and easy to get a cab during the day. Helpful and friendly staff. Free wifi too.

Great stay.
Comfortable bed with quiet air con and clean environment. Only two choice for breakfast and there's nothing else to eat around the area. Food is decent if not fussy. Have to take Uber or Grab where ever I want to go. It was a decent place for the amount I pay. Not for luxury seeker though. Will stay there again.
