The hotel was clean, the rooms where extremely spacious and huge. I was offered a room with nice views of the garden. The bed, it was exceptionally comfortable.
Wi-Fi was pretty slow, made me a little nervous.

In overall, the place is homey, has welcoming staff who work in the kitchen and housekeepers. Have to say I truly enjoyed fantastic and delicious breakfast. It has stunning very central location close to Komtar tower for those needing public transport around the island.

Absolutely gorgeous and ideal place, I enjoyed very polite personnel.
The property seemed fairly clean and the room was extremely spacious. The room I booked was kept clean when requested and available with 2 double beds. It was right in the heart of George Town, and around 4-6 minutes walk from a shopping mall. There were a market and a big supermarket around the hotel. This hotel was value for money, seeing price-lists in other hotels.
