GOOG location but very poor maintenance

Near bus terminal and the old city yet away from main hustle. Breakfast food and service good. But the cleaning very bad: I asked for room cleaning once only in 5 days but nothing was cleaned: not the bathroom, nor the tables and glasses; they only changed the sheets and towels. As for the guy at the reception, he was a real useless jerk, making mistakes all the time: wrong dates on my breakfast tickets and failing to extend my stay as I had requested, and never ever apologizing.

Worse hotel ever

I haven't checked in the hotel, when I arrived the hotel they said sorry we don't have any rooms available and they sent me to another hotel nearby called Hotel19 . The hotel 19 was worse than you imagine, they give me room in 4th floor (410) and the elevator was out of service. I have check out and till now I am waiting for my refund.

Budget but not bad

We chose this hotel because it is close to everything in Georgetown. This was a nostalgic trip for this old R.A.A.F.-ie. Not much has changed in 50 years in this part of Penang. Walk from the ferry terminal. A block from the Weld where you will find Mamu Kopitiam - great restaurant - say Hi to Anuar - best coffee, best Nasi Lemak. Walk a couple of blocks the other way to Little India in Chulia St for Roti, or to get money changed or buy tickets to Haat Yai on a mini van. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is served downstairs and the chef remembers your preferences and starts preparing as soon as he sees you walk in. This is a budget hotel - so don't expect everything perfect. The beds were comfortable. We eventually got a great shower once the hot water was made to work.

Affordable Budget Hotel

The room was nice and clean. The staffs were nice and helpful. The continental breakfast was tasty. However, there was a confusion regarding a free wireless internet. As we did the reservation from Hotels.com, it was stated that the wireless internet was free but when we arrived at the hotel, the internet was chargeable.
