The room was cleaned daily, beds well made but only bath towels were given and had to asked for hand towels daily, would be nice that hand towels were given daily. TV programs isn't that superb and the picture resolution was grainy and unclear. Would I want to come back to stay again...maybe, unless the rectifications were done.

Hotel is posh in the reception area, but really old and outdated rooms. Very misleading photos. We booked a room, but when we got there, the room was tiny, and so old, it felt like someone died in it. We asked to be moved to another room. They charged extra to be moved to a room they considered better but was only slightly bigger. It has the same dated, stale smell and energy. The room was booked and paid through an online platform, and we were quoted an extra $5 that needed to be paid at the property for tax as part of the listing. But when we got there, it was almost $50 more. They had a sign on the counter explaining the tax act, which was fine, but was not advertised as part of the listing, so quite abit additional to be paid with lack of transparency. The listing could have been more transparent with the taxes and per night additional charges or include as part of room rate. Don't mislead the price, as people using booking apps are usually looking for a good deal. I wouldn't recommend the hotel.

The building is old. The small bath towels were all well washed, well used, well worn. Thin, dull colour and kind of musty. The bed was extremely hard and gave me neck aches. I asked front desk if I could talk to the manager. She said she will give me a mattress topper. Of course it did not help. With the invisible manager and only 1 more night to go. Let it be. I will warn my friends not to go there. Anyway, the food was good.

We stayed here for only 3 nights. Originally 4 nites but due to Independence weekends celebration there were no buses or train available from KL to Penang. So, we missed our first night stay. Staff Service is so.. so not so impressive - I’ve requested for two fresh Towel and they delivered two towels but the 2nd one looks really outdated for Floor usage not for the body. I Will not recommend this hotel.
