Enjoyed the stay but the stress of booking and confirmation ruined the trip for me and my husband. Husband booked the room for me but the booking system picked up the name from his credit card and the hotel refused to honor the reservation. We couldn’t get anyone to help us . We Lived in total stress for over a month until she arrival at the hotel. And was allowed to check in. They told me when I called from indonesia that I would not be able to check in even with a copy of our marriage certificate. The only recourse given us was to reach out to the hotel directly but they were unreachable from the US . We have stayed all over the world and never had this issue before.

There is nothing I like about this hotel. The room bed sheet looks dirty and old, including the pillows cases. The bath towels are old and worn, requested a change but no action. The toilet is in odd shape. The shower instant heater is noisy when water is turned on. The water pressure is low. The toilet exhaust fan is noisy. The room aircon not operating efficiently and noisy. No sleepers available. There are ants in the room and toilet. No proper vanity top in the toilet. During booking it promised that Deluxe room has city view, but I only seen roof tops of buildings. My room is on level 3. During booking I request a room on the higher floor but was not allotted. Checking in at reception was slow even though there was no other guest. Very poor WiFi connection, slow and unstable.

Tenia habitacion deluxe...no quiero pensar como seran las de menor categoria. Habitacion vieja, la pared desconchada, el baño muy sucio, los azulejos no los han limpiado en su vida, las juntas negras, el aire acondicionado y ventilacion del baño muy ruidoso, las sabanas sucias, las toallas penosas... el buffet del desayuno bastante escaso y lo peor, los cuencos donde tenian las salsas llenas de bichitos y a ninguno de los camareros parecia importarle. En resumen, una decepcion en todos los sentidos... tienen varios premios de años anteriores como mejor hotel del año en Georgetown de otras paginas de reservas... o esos premios se los dan.a cualquiera o no me explicó la decadencia de.este hotel

Old hotel, convenient location

Wasn’t the best of starts. Checked in to 2 rooms to find that in room 1, the telephone wasn’t working (the phone to socket had snapped) and the safe wasn’t working. The safe in room 2 wasn’t reset and so couldn’t be used either. We reported them and were told they would be fixed in the morning. These were rectified in the morning after one of us had gone downstairs to ask the receptionist to come to the room to look at the items. The air conditioner was quite noisy as was the water heater which emitted quite a loud whine whenever used. The splash guard in the toilet was too small and allowed water all over. This was obviously the splash guard when there was a bath tub in there but the tub has since been taken out. The guard was adequate when the tub was there but not now when not. The in room wifi never worked during our 5 day stay. We kept being told it would be fixed the next day. The lobby wifi did work on the first day but thereafter slowed to being usable. The location of the hotel was excellent, however. It was within walking distance to just about anywhere in Georgetown and just across the road from the New Lane hawkers, making it very convenient to get dinner. Breakfast at the hotel was also above average.

Hotel liegt relativ zentral. Die Zimmer sind neu und zweckmässig eingerichtet und verfügen über eine sitzecke. Betten sind bequem und sanitäre Einrichtungen neu und i.o. nachteilig war dass mein Zimmer zu einem Innenhof lag und mit milchglasfenstern versehen war. Insgesamt jedoch zum gebuchten Preis eine gute Möglichkeit. Der offizielle zimmerpreis ca 200 RM ist eindeutig überteuert auch wenn Penang immer etwas teurer ist.

Hotel smack in town. Convenient to walk around as it is nearby to Komtar and Chow Rasta market area. Parking lots are limited. Those who doesn't get parking within the hotel vicinity, are required to park at the nearby open carpark. Overnight carpark charges are RM12. Rooms are fairly clean. Staff are friendly.
