Good value with friendly and accommodating staff

Really friendly and helpful staff. We were originally booked on the 2nd floor that was a bit loud and smelled of cigarette smoke. When we asked to be moved to a higher floor, they immediately offered a room on the 5th floor. Much better! The corridors are worn and in need of new carpet and paint. Breakfast is complete with mostly Asian offerings - very tasty but always cold and non-working toaster. The location is good for cheap eats right next door. And it's walking distance to Sutera Harbour where you can watch the beautiful sunsets. A long, hot walk or an easy Grab ride to the center of town and the ferry to the islands.

Not close to anything

The hotel is not conveniently located close to any city landmarks. It's like an island in a steady stream of traffic. The staff was friendly and helpful but the room had obviously not been repaired or painted in quite a while. Water got over the floor in the bathroom because it is an Asian style shower with a drain in a corner. Breakfast is included.
