Reviews on this place were mixed and we liked the location. We booked on-line for a rate of around $40 US. The room we got on the 14th floor was small and narrow. The carpet could not have been cleaned in this century. Bedspread was old and worn and the bed had a distinct slope. We had arranged for relatives... More

Pretty decent accommodation with a bus stop (with free city shuttle service) a few metres from its entrance. A food centre featuring famous local food, Red Garden Food Paradise, is just a few steps away from the hotel! For those who want nightlife, this hotel is near the pub area. Cititel hotel is diagonally opposite, which makes it easy to... More

Convenient location in Georgetown.There are kopitiams nearby which serve morning hawker food. This is a smoking hotel. Not recommended if you are a non smoker or asthmatic or have any respiratory ailment. My room was badly stenched with cigarette smell. Lots of noise from the night clubs so you may prefer to stay in the higher floors. Excellent chambermaid service.... More

This hotel is on the corner of Penang Road. The room is OK but the shower is not so good. The breakfast buffet is quite bad, less variety of food and taste bad. Find your breakfast outside is better. The staff is friendly and helpful. From the hotel you can walk to local market in 10 minutes and to Komtar... More

Good hotel, worth the price. Staff are helpful and don't take long to check in. The disadvantage is that there is much nightlife around the hotel which makes it noisy. Wifi at a fair price.For some reason the TV Remote was connected to the bedside table.
