Completely exceeded expectations, very clean, and the service was very good. Breakfast and afternoon tea were very rich. You can walk to 90% of Penang and it is very close to various Michelin restaurants. I will definitely stay here next time.

性價比很高的酒店,早餐和下午茶都有。我們住了6晚。在這棟南洋風情的房子裏悠哉悠哉地度過。唐人街、光大都在旁邊,還有免費CAT巴士也在旁邊。地理位置超好。

The family room I booked is quite big and comfortable overall, but the room light is too dim. Everything else is good. The bathroom is also very big. The hotel lobby is very beautiful. I like the colorful tiles. The afternoon tea is not spilled. The coffee is OK. Overall, it is good and the transportation is very convenient.

The hotel is located near the road, so light sleepers may not be able to adapt. The room is large, equipped with an iron and a refrigerator, and it is quite comfortable. There are free buses to the station and the mural street nearby! I can't remember which one is CRT or which one, but the paid bus 101 is also available, it's very close. There are two platforms in front and behind, so you can choose by yourself. If you stay in the hotel with breakfast, the service staff will give you a separate menu. Although it says RM30 on it, you can still choose a set meal per person! It's very rich. If you don't stay in the hotel or don't include breakfast, you will need to pay extra if you want to eat.

Quite impressed with the service and what is inside the hotel. The room came with an afternoon tea break which never expected to have.

The room is small, the sound insulation is poor, there are no bath towels, the lights are dim, the Chinese people are being bullied, and the deposit is compulsorily non-refundable.
