I would obviously go back to this hotel again whenever I visit Georgetown in the future. I love how suitable it is for solo travelers. The bathroom is so spacious and clean + the hot water works properly. Really worth the money!

Value for money. The only downside were the wild birds making noise at 3 in the morning. Information for RM 100 deposit should have been made known. Otherwise hotel is good.

We tried to call the hotel staff, but they didn't even pick up the call. The room pillows were too flat. During the morning period, a lot of ambulances passed by, and the soundproofing was so lousy.

Overall, it was okay. There was only one night where the AC wasn't cooling, but it was back to normal the next day. There was a brief power outage. Otherwise, there were no issues. The room was clean, and the location was quite good.

Everything is okay, except the iron is far from the room. You have to go down from level 7 to level 2. Everything else is okay. The room size is really small. If you want to pray for 2 people at once, you can't get out. And if you want to pray, you have to stand right in front of the door because the room we sat in is quite narrow.

The hotel is small, the lobby is also narrow on the 2nd floor. The room is also narrow, I got a bedroom with no ventilation/windows. The cleanliness of the room is just so-so. When I first entered the hotel, there was an unpleasant feeling, so I couldn't sleep until I finally decided to move hotels after just a few hours of checking in. Then we were required to put a deposit, there were too many rules that were not allowed, the room was noisy too.
