Very strategically located, walking distance to many food outlets and tourist attractions. The staff are friendly, but a bit lack in term of facilities. No small fridge in the room, and only one plug point to charge your phones.

Excellent stay.
Excellent stay. The hotel is just near;
- most of the attractions, walking by distance.
- the night street market and full of bar / lounge.
A very lively area by day & night.

The floor carpet in the room was kinda wet.
The toilet has a drainage problem, water goes down very slow.
The room needs more power plug.

Location: 4/5 (If you are into Chulia Street and the various heritage zones, then this area is good enough)
Cleanliness: 4/5 (Generally clean in and out of the hotel)
Service: 4/5 (Nothing to shout about either, checking in was fine and room service was barely used so can't really comment much)
Amenities & Facilities: 4/5 (Everyting was working fine, and the usual toiletries are provided)
Room: 4/5 (Slightly small but decent enough to sleep in)

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, staff are really friendly, rooms are very clean. The location of the hotel is very convenient as most of the shops, restaurants and bars are just within walking distances. I will definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip to Penang! :)

Good location and provide ample parking space. The drawback is the hotel condition where the bed and pillow are uncomfortable and the furniture and carpet need to refurnish as it is old already.

Small room, but quiet and clean. Friendly staff. Internet not the best but good enough for guest who staying for a night or two. Only thing missing was a fridge. Fridges are not available in any room. That's not good for guest that like to stay more then just 1 or 2 nights.
Location is also ok. There are restaurants , small shops and even 7 eleven in walking distance.

Okay
Overall satisfactory. Few facilities need to be improved - 1) air-conditioning, like auto control, on & off, caused the room heaty & noisy, 2) TV power point also not good, sometime have contact.
