In need of an upgrade. It might have been ok once but is now looking very shaby. Room safe was broken, wet patch on carpet due to leaking ac, rotten bathroom door frame, street noise and shower took an age to run hot. Staff were friendly and did their best.

From the start had a bad experience. Ordered 4 rooms online with hotels.com, frontdesk argued with us it was only one room. Had to made an international call to hotels.com to clear things up. Seems the front desk didn't understand the booking we printout/brought with us when it was clear we ordered 4 rooms. Room conditions was pretty bad, bathroom was clogged, etc. The one good thing is that it is located strategically in one of Penang's main tourist site.

Booked into 2 rooms on 10th floor which both were warm due to hot spell. But reception not proactive to offer lower rooms until I requested. Because of my complaints and changed rooms 3 times I believe a certain staff took personal action to reconfigure my key every day. Thus, I had reset my key. Hope management will look into my case.

It is a dated hotel that has seen better days. Having said that, the service staff is attentive and helpful. Location is good. Carpark is opened in the back. The rooms are old but OK. Beds too soft like the pillows. We heard noise from the karaoke next-door til after 11pm. Then there is the noise from I think the external aircon condenser that's making a lot of humming noise every few minutes for about 15 secs each time. There's no noise from the road. Also didn't hear the prayers from the nearby mosque.
