I travel to Penang from time to time for a getaway leisure - for its food, historical buildings, and trying all kinds of lodgings.
The look and facilities are by far my favourite in Georgetown — very tasteful arts, furnitures, coloured cushions, little book nook, lovely greens and garden, such crafty variety of how they use the space — you will always find your coziest spot. Not doing anything else, I just pampered myself finding my most comfy armchair and read.
Before visiting, I noticed previous reviews about the hygiene — I’m not particularly allergic; I think it’s fine with this price range. However compared to my next lodging, there was room to slightly improve indeed. The bathroom, floors, and furnitures are fine; it’s more about the dusty window panes and walls, and the air-con seems just too outdated and be placed facing your head when sleeping (strongly suggest they add a wind deflector).
I treasure the mere existence of how the owner wants to run this gem. Staff all so welcoming and thoughtful too, especially the 阿伯 uncle and a young guy at breakfast shift.
