Excellent location and reasonably priced. Would benefit from renovation and a more tourist-freindly approach.

Plus: helpful staff, spacious room, nice view. Cons: fridge not working. Aircon is difficult to adjust (need to climb on a chair to adjust manually). Wall is not sound-proof, thus it's a bit noisy during praying session from a nearby mosque and a karaoke. Overall:value for budget

A really good hotel in an excellent location, right in the middle of everything and a really easy walk to Komtar to get buses everywhere. Hotel was a little shabby but very clean and our room on the 10th floor had an absolutely fantastic view over Penang. No breakfast but several places just outside, as well as an internet cafe and a laundry.
