The entrance for drop-off or pick-up is spacious. I chose deluxe for a bigger room, so comfortable and large. Staff are friendly and helpful. The room is clean. After a 2-day stay, the bathroom drain is clogged with a lot of hair, maybe we should tell them to clean it often. I like to stay here and it's one of my best options for my holiday time.

Overview: The hotel is okay for the price. Pros: - Clean - Room is enough for 1 or 2 people - The hotel smells good when you enter, so it's quite impressive - There is a steam iron in the lobby, so it's very convenient for ironing Cons: - The location is a bit far from the center of George Town. It will take you about 20 minutes if you walk (it's best to book a Grab because it's quite cheap) - The room is clean but there are some places that show signs of being old - The power outlet is still a 3-square outlet, so you need to bring an adapter - My room doesn't have a hair dryer, so I have to proactively contact the reception to borrow one - There is no drinking water in the room, you can get water in the lobby If you ask me if I will book again when I come back, the answer is yes. Although it's far from the center, in return the room is clean, comfortable, and you can rest
