FantasticSolo stay
Room was not small, not big, just right. I am a solo traveller, but the room is big enough for 2 people. Clean and comfortable. Blockout curtains and no noise from the street or from inside the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Free drinking water station provided so you can refill your bottle, or you can purchase bottled water from reception (as well as other drinks, snacks, travel adaptors etc.) Free iron provided in common area.
Hotel has a lift as well as stairs. Thai restaurant directly opposite Hotel. Quiet street, safe at night.
Location is handy to Georgetown. I would definitely recommend this place!

Below averageSolo stay · For leisure
Not really walkable to anywhere, grubby looking needs painting in rooms. Cockroaches at night in my room 102. Staff friendly enough and offered to clean the room or change it but no thanks and I changed my hotel. This left me out of pocket for 2 nights accommodation but would you have stayed?

Fantastic Friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Rooms big enough for a couple of days, and cleaned to a good standard compared to other hotels in Malaysia.
Hotel located a couple if KMs from the centre with limited local amenities and noisy local karaoke until 1am.
I'm not bothered by this, do would stay again
