Overall is a very nice stay. No need to worry about insufficient parking as staff will help to arrange where and how to park even if no available “parking box”. Don’t have a hair dryer in the room. May have to self bring. I didn’t need it fortunately as I brought my own. Perhaps the reception has a hairdryer. Some sheets were noticeable slightly torn. But that’s abit minor defect as the sheets were very clean. So no worries in that end.

Stay Experience: Although it is a budget hotel, the room was clean and well-maintained. I really like the hotel’s design style and was very satisfied with the room. Service Attitude: The staff were friendly and patiently answered my questions. Hotel Location: The hotel is located in the city center of Penang, but there are not many dining options nearby. The area is quiet at night. Areas for Improvement: Overall, I am quite satisfied with the stay.

Across from the hotel is a car repair shop, and behind it, there's a pile of something. Aside from the room being extremely small, there were no toiletries or bath amenities provided, nor any bottled water. The worst part was the severe noise from the air conditioning unit at night. Basically, don't expect any service or a good environment from this hotel.

Very basic budget hotel, similar to the B2 hotels in Thailand, but double the price. Pros: 1. Central (George Town). 2. Fairly clean. 3. Comfortable bed. 4. Friendly and helpful staff. Cons: 1. Windows cannot open. 2. A bit of black mold in crevaces of bathroom. 3. Limited toiletries/ammenities/facilities. 4. No breakfast option. Okay for a night.

🚩 Cons: Technical and Amenity Gaps The most significant drawback was the unreliable Wi-Fi, which made connectivity quite a struggle during my stay. In the room, I encountered a few maintenance and hygiene oversights: the bidet spray in the bathroom was broken, and I discovered a glass that hadn't been properly cleaned. Additionally, the room lacked basic conveniences such as a hairdryer and a refrigerator, which might be a dealbreaker for travelers who prefer to store cold drinks or need styling tools. The hotel is located about 1-2km from the center town. ✨ Pros: Aesthetic Appeal and Seamless Service On a more positive note, the hotel is brand new with a spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed interior. I particularly appreciated the minimalist decor and the large, airy bathroom. The lobby always smelled wonderful, and the staff were incredibly helpful throughout my visit. Since there is no on-site kitchen, the entire property feels fresh and is completely free from lingering food odors. The administrative process was also a breeze, no deposit was required, and check-in/out was exceptionally fast. While some items weren't in the room, I found the ironing facilities and drinking water conveniently located in the public area. While the hotel requires a short ride to reach main attractions, it offers a much quieter and fresher environment away from the city's hustle and bustle.
