Great location! Inside the UNESCO heritage zone, lots of local eateries nearby, public transportation and other attractions. Great budget-friendly option in the heart of Penang! The hotel decor is a little dated but overall nice and clean, with comfortable beds.

Disliked: Amenities
No kettle ,noisy nightclub nearby and many mosques close by calls to prayers are very loud. The hotel is close to eating places
Near the Nasi Kandar Restoran, Easy to walkable. Need to improve for the Iron place (Put I floor for one iron). Please change the torn toilet curtain.
The family room is big.

Too bad, no hairdryer and electric kettle provided.
This place is old and outdated.
Bring your in house slippers, carpet is very old and stained.
Clean in the sense that no roaches or other insects.
Bathroom was updated with newer tiles but There are still some mold around the sink area.. don’t understand why they don’t remove it.
