    Pros +

    • Hotel is nicely done, modern and new. Location is good. Rooms were excellent, nice balcony etc.
    • Old world charm
    • Location, the nice charming decoration, pool and gym

    Cons -

    • Pool was an absolute ice bath which the staff then tried to tell us was because it was a Salt pool... it gets no sun all day and they don't heat it.
    • Only catering to one kind of traveler. Not really geared to international traveler. No warmth with any of the staff. Very transactional.
    • TV choice; Netflix would have been great

    The strategic location for tourist to roam georgetown

    Simple buffet breakfast not many to choose from . The gym is only a small corner area with basic facilities

    10Elsie L.Posted on: 9-20-2025

    The space layout and balcony. Walking distance to shops and restaurants.

    everything was fine for us.

    5Ferihan H.Posted on: 9-2-2025

    Location is good, with plenty of halal restaurants within walking distance.

    •The room felt quite ordinary for the price. Walls were scratched and the space needed maintenance.•Linens and towels, though clean, were very worn and should be refreshed.•The advertised Nyonya High Tea Set was not provided as described, which felt misleading.•Breakfast was limited, with hardly any European options—just a small cheese platter. Adding items like waffles or pancakes would improve it.

    8StefaniaPosted on: 7-31-2025

    Very clean, nice and helpful staff. Food is also very good.

    I cannot mention anything.

    10AllyPosted on: 7-16-2025

    Strategically located at the center of Georgetown, easy to go most eateries and cafes via foot at night...

    Can hear some minor noises from the room when someone pass by...

    5NataliePosted on: 7-11-2025

    Location was great for exploring Penang and plenty of food options within walking distance. Rooms well appointed. Staff were approachable and generally eager to help.

    Despite contacting the hotel in advance—and receiving several follow-ups from family members who checked in earlier—to ensure that our room was prepared with the extra beds prior to our late-night arrival, we arrived to find that only one bed had been made up. The additional bedding provided was very basic (my children described the blankets as "towel quality"), and we had to request suitable bedding multiple times before it was addressed —there may have been some language barriers that contributed to the confusion.Towels were also quite worn and could benefit from an upgrade.There was ongoing confusion regarding the breakfast inclusion for our room, with staff changing which guests were included on a daily basis, which created unnecessary inconvenience.

    Great location! near to attractions and good foodfriendly staff and helpfulair-con was great! very cooling delighted with the free Nyonya afternoon tea set on compliementary

    8JanePosted on: 6-21-2025

    Good location. Helpful staff.

    Smell of smoking cigarettes in the bathroom and being awoken at 6am by the sound of mosqie peauers (room 502) in one of the rooms we booked.

    Great location, well service, breakfast is very nice

    7Sien N.Posted on: 6-5-2025

    Location, parking on site, concierge, housekeeping and restaurant staff are hospitable

    This hotel is a hit and miss. I felt that there are many areas which need improvements. Room is dark despite turning on all the lights. Bathroom sliding door is heavy and not user friendly. It’s a hassle to have to keep opening and closing the door whenever we need to go to the bathroom. Bed is very hard and not to our liking. Cleanliness needs to be improved as we found blood stain on the toilet tiles. It’s also dusty overall. Receptionist could use some training to be more welcoming and hospitable like the concierge staff. We would rate this hotel as 4 ⭐️ at best based on the above experiences.
