i travel 3 times for holiday a year, and only stays 3.5-5 star hotel. the room acoustic is the worst of any i ever stayed, hardly get any sleep
7am breakfast, only 1 person is working and not quite ready to serve your guests. Coffee machine not working and no one to ask. No one is there. The bread is straight out from the fridge.
The location is next to a motorcycle shop. Very noise when they are testing their customers bike.
Room is clean.

Positief: de redelijke tot goede lokatie, de inrichting van het hotel, de ruimte van de kamer en de badkamer, de yacuzzi in de kamer, de zeer behulpzame staf
Negatief: slecht onderhoud (yacuzzi bracht water met veel zand, de kaart voor het kamerslot werkte verschillende keren niet, de aircon begaf het (resulterend in een verhuizing naar een andere kamer)

Location is very good and staff friendly, but concierge services were poor when seeking advice re places to eat. The room was comfortable and had a nice balcony, but one floorboard was broken, covered by a mat. Breakfast was disappointing - many items in the warmers were cold and it was hit and miss getting eggs cooked the way you liked depending on who was on duty. Often food that had run our was not restocked in a timely manner at times leaving little choice. Overall it appeared that the kitchen was understaffed and not particularly vigilant.
Free breakfast, free afternoon tea, free happy hour drink. Swimming pool facilitated beside the restaurant. The room is quit big included a living room and two terraces. The bathroom is a bit dirty, if you are really focus on bathroom cleaning , please dont choose this hotel.

Vårt sällskap hade två rum på olika våningar och olika riktningar. Mot gatan var det svårt att sova pga ljud, rummen var inte så rena och det luktade överlag rätt unket. Vi hade förväntat oss mer av ett 4-stjärnigt hotell. Personalen och frukosten var dock jättebra.
This hotel is *super* cute, and the breakfast spreads were quite good (I've had better, but those were pretty extreme). The location is great for walking around downtown. Note that the Transfer rooms require walking up two flights of stairs. The wifi speed was good, but maxed out on three devices. The second day there wasn't a lot of hot water for some reason. Check-in was a bit slow, but not unreasonably so. My biggest problem was that the beds were *super* hard. While I hope to visit Penang again, I won't be staying at this hotel just because of the mattresses, they were that bad. It was practically just a 1-inch layer of foam on top of a box-spring, it was that hard. Unfortunately hard mattresses are sort of a southeast asian thing so I am not sure other places will be much better either.
This hotel is in the perfect location. It had everything you need and very comfortable as well. Can be a little noisy as it’s located on a main road but it’s not too bad and they do provide you with ear plugs. Excellent staff, everything is as described on the site as well.
My room was some mosquitoes there. It was so disappointing. The room was OK. A little bit old......

Online view differs quite a bit from the actual
Overall experience is okay. Service staff are accommodating. The only not so pleasant experience is the constant body odor in the room - not sure if it's from the guest prior to my stay or it's from the housekeeper who cleans my room. I had to open the window and put the fan in full blast whenever I return to my room.
Nice location on the edge of GeorgeTown, which is an easy walk away. The hotel offered an overall old school charm bringing back memories of the times spent in Singapore in the mid 60's. Room comfortable and big. Bed a tad too hard for my liking, but OK. Nice decor, balcony over looking the green and lush courtyard with interesting bird life. Just a tad noisy because of traffic (motor scooters with dodgy silencers!). Plenty of very good eateries in the general location, including 2 rather good hawker centers nor more than 5-6 mins away on foot.
