Hazirah 8/10

Malaysia 🇲🇾

Better than expected

Pros: Clean. Bed was also comfortable. I really appreciate the shower, had good pressure and shampoo was not the usual hospital shampoo you normally get in hotels. Also how they set up the parking is good as well. Small details like that I appreciate.

Cons: The lift is not suitable. It’s extremely slow and not logical if only 3 people can fit in at once. Better to use the staircase since it’s only 3 floors. Also the aircon should be improved and / or cleaned, barely could feel that it’s cold.

I love it

Pros: The location is superb, there are 2 cafe downstairs, so it is very easy to eat. Pretty close to attractions in Penang like Padang Kota Lama, Kapitan Macalister Road etc

Cons: Lift is unique which is not the normal lift but the hotel have stairs so if you are young and healthy, just use the stairs. TV is hard to navigate but I was fine not using it so not a major issue, as long as the room is super clean and comfy for my 2 nights stay, I am more than happy

Thoughtful

Pros: Many small details were thoughtfully decided upon.

Cons: Lack of a number to call reception. Need to print it for clients in room to know they can use their cell-phone to ask reception about anything.

Wan 8/10

Malaysia 🇲🇾

Pros: The location is strategic and is close to many food amenities.

Cons: The soundproofing in the room is very poor, and I was woke up by the noise from the street in the morning. Additionally, the bathroom doesn't have a proper dry and wet separation.
