My deluxe room is spacious and comfortable, with nice modern furnishing. It has all the amenities a traveler would need (ie kettle, coffee/tea, hair dryer, mini fridge). There are limited council-run public parking spaces at the front and nearby. Do note that the big private parking beside the hotel no longer charges RM8/night as stated in the booking website.

The hotel is located at the heart of Georgetown so I can wonder around the place very easily. However, the staffs are now always on board when I need them. The room, especially the toilet, is now as clean as expected.

Overall is good and clean. Bath bomb and sea salt is provided for the bathtub. However the bathtub looks not very clean. Better to bring your own bathtub plastic cover. The coffee capsule is also provided but no milk was given. The taste of coffee is not very nice. Nespresso better. No lift available. Parking is not free, charged rm 12 per day.

Beautiful, spacious and comfy with all the basic facilities that I require, except there is no USB charging hub available. Love the bathtub with free bathbomb, suggest that the hotel can apply some anti slip in the bathtub. Though it 's just a 1 night stay but husband and I had a relaxing and good night sleep.

The place is strategic because it is very near to lots of convenient stores & eateries. But because it is too close to a food joint which offers free entertainment, the singing was way too loud, which lasted to almost midnight. Otherwise, everything else is great. Small cafes are within walking distance. A halal dim sum shop next door is just superb.

The hotel is not similar to the photos. The first floor is currently under renovations and is closed up, making the overall ambiance like an abandoned building. The room was quite clean, but again is not the same as in the picture.
