The price is worth it for a 3-star hotel, and condition and facilities expected. There was an event one night of our stay and the karaoke was really going strong. Didn't go on for too long though, but hotel should consider soundproofing the function rooms for comfort of guests.

This hotel is generally good. The location is nice just minutes’ walk from the night markets. Rooms are clean. However there’s a big ventilation fan on the mountain side, which makes a lot of noise all day long. This makes most of the Mountain View room kind of noisy.

the interior of hotel is good, but the exterior building would need a coat of paint. i will consider staying there again. maybe have a safe deposit box in each room - why ? your clients will want to go to pulau, so they can lock their passport and valuables in the room , rather than using the front safe. SO PLS IMPLEMENT A SAFE IN EACH ROOM INCLUDING ECONOMY ROOMS WITHOUT WINDOWS AT LEVEL 2.
