It's really not worth the price. The hotel has no elevator, only stairs. The room is small, there are few charging plugs, the glass glue in the bathroom is moldy, the sound insulation is poor, the music from the bar at night is transmitted to the room, affecting sleep, the breakfast buffet that was promised has become a la carte, and the staple food is limited to ordering the same... Compared with the host, it's really too far away! ! Choose carefully, this hotel is really not worth it!

The environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the smoke-free environment is very good. The furnishings everywhere are very elegant. The facilities are relatively complete, and the traditional Western hotel model. The room is very spacious and beautiful, suitable for tourists who like European architecture. The transportation is relatively convenient, not far from the mural street area, but not in the core area of ​​ancient buildings, and the conditions are much better than the hotels in the core area. There are convenience stores, pharmacies, and restaurants nearby. The sanitary conditions are good and cleaned on time every day. There are free drinks every evening in the bar area, which may be limited to women. There are snacks every day, and the mini bar is free, but I don’t have much time and stomach to enjoy it, haha. The service is quite thoughtful, and effective information can be provided, such as banks, more cost-effective currency exchange areas, commercial areas, etc. There was a little episode when I checked in, and the front desk guy was very good. He gave me advice and chatted with me, which comforted me when I was tired and troubled. In general, it is very good. If I have the opportunity to go to Penang again, I will consider staying here.

The manor is very beautiful and distinctive, the bedding is clean, the service is thoughtful, the breakfast is delicious, and we stayed for two nights. There were drinks in the bar every night, which was very atmospheric and there were resident singers.

It's really nice, every corner is more textured, and the service is also very good. The bar, French cuisine and afternoon tea are all used, very chill. The only drawback is that the road noise is a bit loud at night, but it is a common problem in Penang that is almost unavoidable.

Good experience and lovely, friendly staff. Only thing of note would be to ensure you are happy with the dates you pick before making a booking through trip as trying to modify the dates is very very time consuming and difficult. Better to book directly with the hotel itself for those unsure of the dates they pick. Otherwise a beautiful hotel
