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.

Superb front desk! They were always happy to answer any questions or assist with anything we requested (umbrellas when it rained, milk for tea) The hotel was clean and had everything needed, including extra toothbrushes in the bathroom as well as tea and coffee. The only slightly negative was that the air conditioner temperature could not be altered and seemed to be set on a timer: very cool in the afternoon but slowly warned up somewhat until we found that the early hours of the morning got a bit too warm. The hotel is situated on a very busy street and if you're unfortunate enough to get a room facing the street, I imagine it would be quite noisy. Our room faced the bushy area and road noise did not affect us. It's close (max 15 min) to many shops, markets, bars, massage places so is a good place to stay if you want to walk instead of use transport. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Elvianna a hotel staff kindly exchanged WhatsApp text to give me advice when I was exploring activities to do before I reached there. It's situated along a small lane. The only trouble I had was getting a room facing the road, which was pretty noisy and hard for me to get rested especially for the first night. It didn't help that I needed to wake up after 4am to join a tour the following day. I took the buffet breakfast on the 2nd & 3rd morning. The first one they had few guests and food were less fresh. The 2nd day was better.

We saw this hotel since we are kid, but the hotel still look great for the room, plus lot of space too and i loved their carpet floor. They also give us some compliment fruits which is very respectful and i also very thankful and do enjoy our stay. Place is quiet as well, city view do consider very good, just exept you do not get room safe. but it is secure.
