Reviews and Ratings
When I walked into my room, there was a musty smell that disappeared once I turned on the AC. The rooms are old and can get quite noisy, not ideal for light sleepers. However, the room was spacious and had no fridge. The location is near to almost everything, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience was basic at best, but the price was reasonable considering the value. The staff was very helpful, especially Norain at reception who went above and beyond to assist me, even managing to book a train ticket last minute.
The hotel is in a convenient location with great access to local food stalls and cozy surroundings. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and nicely overlook the pool, fit for a group of six. While the dining experience offers some ordinary dishes, the American breakfast is enjoyable. The friendly staff and good basic breakfast add to the value for money.
The hotel is in a convenient location, a short walk to Gurney Drive and the town center. The rooms were clean with fresh sheets and towels but can be noisy for light sleepers. The service was friendly overall, especially Norain at reception. The dining options were basic, with room for improvement. The facilities were decent, but a bit outdated.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms at an excellent price, although service could be more efficient. The strategic location for food lovers and proximity to key attractions are standout features. Dining options vary from excellent to needing improvement.
I found the hotel to be comfortable and clean, but the presence of mosquitoes was a bit bothersome. The staff were friendly and helpful, although the check-in process and cleanliness could have been more efficient. The location, while cozy, was slightly off-center and confusing to find. The dining choices were limited, despite the lovely classic American dishes offered. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel's location is a plus point, being very near to George Town and within walking distance of the Heritage Town. The rooms were quite dim with some powdery sawdust on the bed, although they are thoroughly checked before allowing a guest to be admitted. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were instances of a lack of communication and attention to detail like leaving dirty towels on the bathroom floor. The dining experience was excellent with very good service. The facilities are satisfactory with opportunities for improvement.
I was excited to stay in a room ready with 2 queens for a group of 4 adults, but it only had 1 queen and a single bed. However, the rooms were clean and fresh. The service was a bit pushy about upselling and didn't seem efficient, although some staff were helpful. The location was strategic near key attractions but could use better room access. The dining options were limited, but the in-house restaurant was reasonable. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel had spacious rooms that were great for 2 adults and 3 kids, but exhausting if on the second floor at the end of the corridor with no elevator. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but there were no specific comments on the rooms. The location was convenient for accessing local cuisine and shopping areas, with hawker stalls nearby. The dining experience was disappointing, although the facilities were not commented on specifically.
The hotel could have been cleaner, and the toilet's condition made me uncomfortable due to my leg problem, but the rooms had clean sheets and towels and were located conveniently opposite the pool. The service staff were friendly and helpful, although they took longer to check me in when there were no more guests. The location was both good and bad: centrally located near Gurney Drive and the town center, yet difficult to access due to one-way streets. The dining experience offered excellent dishes but at a high price per head. Overall, the facilities were adequate.
The hotel is conveniently located with friendly service, although some maintenance issues in the rooms and limited dining options. The proximity to attractions is a major highlight, but a lack of luggage assistance could be improved.
