Highly recommended, comfortable for a quiet rest even though it's right on the main road, and close to everything within walking distance. Highly recommended for those on vacation and who like to explore without using Grab or buses, aka walking.

The hotel facilities were quite diverse and very convenient for guests. The room itself was clean and comfortable, although the bathroom had an issue where water would leak out every time I showered, making the whole floor wet even when the glass shower door was fully closed. The location was also a bit far from food places and convenience stores. The service was decent overall, but the night shift reception staff seemed rather unfriendly, especially during check-in and even when I called from the room. At one point, when I went to the reception for assistance at night, there was no staff at all in the lobby, and another couple was also waiting to check in for several minutes before someone finally appeared, possibly from the back office area. However, some of the morning and afternoon staff were super friendly and very helpful, which made the experience better.

The hotel is so cozy, clean, and new. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Location is good, walking distance to restaurants, bubble tea, and Mamak stall. Parking lots are open air but easy to access.

Greeted with almost 3 hours of delay for check in. Luckily gotten the best room (partial sea-view) as promised by staff. Since it’s a fixed menu for breakfast, might as well send it to the room rather than pickup from the lobby and the ‘chef’ seems like out of hand handling the crowd.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the nearly three-hour delay during check-in. We understand how frustrating this must have been, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We are glad that our team was able to arrange a room with a partial sea view as promised, and that this helped make your stay more enjoyable. We also appreciate your comments regarding breakfast. Your suggestion to have the fixed-menu breakfast delivered directly to guest rooms is valuable, and we understand your concerns about the pickup process and the waiting time during busy periods. We have shared your feedback with the relevant teams as we continually look for ways to improve the breakfast experience for our guests. Thank you once again for your constructive feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a smoother and more enjoyable stay in the future. Have an amazing day - Nixon/lyf Champion

The location is perfect, but the room is too small. Even praying on the bed is a challenge due to the lack of space.

Beautifully designed, specially the pool and the lift. Appreciate the pantry at each floor for you to reheat your food because Penang is famous for its food. But overall it doesn't feel like staying in a hotel, it's more like a motel. Comfort level is not there. Bedroom overall feel more like a 2-star motel rather than a hotel. Location was rather far from famous street food too. Nothing much in this area. So sadly I don't think I will return again.

Location is very strategic and nicely located near shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. - 30 mins from the airport - 5-10 mins to markets and foodie places.
