Toilet tank had a little trouble refilling, but that was easily fixed by adjusting the water control taps behind the toilets. Otherwise - everything perfect.

Each room comes with 2 ceiling fans plus an AC. Sufficient to keep the room cooling. However, facilities can be better. For instance shower head and bidget are abit worn out. I would give 5 stars for the customer service and will definitely patronise the hotel again if I am visiting Penang.

The hotel has a wonderful antique feeling to it from the entrance, the main areas, and the rooms. The single and the duplex rooms were equally spacious which was very appreciated. The staff is also 24/7 and so helpful when checking in and out. There was also complimentary tea time from 2-5 each day my family was there.

Not sure why this hotel has received so many good reviews. The hotel is full of historical charm that is for sure but after we went to our room we found the bed sheet has a huge brownish stain on it. We requested the service desk to change it but they said it was too late (10pm) and all the stuff has left. So the lady gave us the new bed sheet and we put it on top of the bed. Then later we found the blanket sheet also has a lot of visible stains, and then there are also a bunch of holes on it as well, the edges of the blanket sheet cover was yellowish brown color, there is a hygiene concerns of this hotel.The fridge when open has light, but it does not work. I put a bottle of water in it and the next morning is is still at room temperature. We checked out one day earlier despite that we paid for two days stay as we were not comfortable to stay due to the hygiene concerns.
