    Given the price (as compared with a Penang Airbnb apartment) you’ll no doubt agree that the rooms and bathrooms are in need of cosmetic renovation due to their age, but despite this, the hotel offers a comfortable stay.

    The pool, the views, the rooftop bar and the revolving restaurant.

    Breakfast needs some improvement. I dunno what but i stayed there for 11 nights and the only thing i looked forward for breakfast was the scramble eggs or omelette.

    Location, walking distance to most restaurants and site seeing places. Staff were really friendly and polite.

    I wasn’t fully satisfied with a few aspects such as the parking lot could use significant improvement , should be clearer signboards, as the current ones are confusing and not easy to follow. The washroom design also felt uncomfortable, being placed very close to the bed and lacking an interior ventilation or cooler fan, which affects overall comfort. Additionally, the air-conditioning did not maintain a pleasant temperature; it became quite hot during the night, which made sleeping difficult. As for the pool, I understand that the hotel is making an effort to maintain hygiene, and I appreciate that. However, some guests do not respect shared spaces and make the water dirty. While this isn’t entirely the hotel's fault, perhaps stronger pool-use guidelines or supervision could help.

    Overall, everything was great and definitely worth the money. I booked a room for 3 adults with an extra bed, and they provided a comfortable foldable bed which I found to be excellent value. The highlight of the stay was the breakfast absolutely delicious! Especially the nasi lemak with sambal tumis. it was a standout! 👍 Honestly, I have no complaints about the hotel itself, aside from some minor issues with the parking area and the pool. Would definitely recommend this place for families.

    Two 3-pin plugs in my room (one near the door and the other next to a bed) have detached from the wall, making them unsafe to use. The blankets are nothing more than cloth sheets, serving little purpose.

    No electrical socket at bed. Cannot charge phone near bed. Car park is limited, and easy to miss the parking entrance. I suggest people to do Google street map view and look for the parking entrance after the petrol station.

    Nice clean room. Price is much more affordable for the room compared to other place. There is a dedicated parking for moped motorcycle and car in the Boon Siew Honda building (validated if you are hotel guest). Very close to other attraction.
