Smooth check in with friendly staff”

when u share ur positive energy u will get positive results, upon check in our room was on the 1st floor no lift only stairs, but after having a good chat with them and saw that we had two kids and a few loads of luggage they asked back for my room key and checked for an available room on the ground floor, i just kept quiet even though i knew it was more money, the rooms had bigger space, to my surprise they upgraded us for free. Good job to this hotel and staff, much appreciated. Of course we gave them Harum Manis Mango from Perlis as a thank you.

This hotel was good for the money we paid. The rooms were clean and tidy, the bed was nice but so loud when you moved. The floor boards were also loud. But this hotel was really nice, breakfast was just toast but had different toppings. Good value for money. The location was good I have seen reviews saying its loyd but its not at all. Once you're in the hotel and in your room you can't hear anything out side. So God knows where people have got that from. Over all a good stay. We was only there for 2 nights but ended up staying for 4 nights.

Heritage of old kind”

We picked this place because of the pool which was great after a hot day walking. We prefer not to be in the centre of tourist areas and loved the surprises you find such as the best roti chani across the road, the new world food complex, the trendy shops and bars and an amazing second hand Japanese shop, all walking from hotel. We also walked to the heritage area easily but very hot and often caught a grab home. Hotel is faded grand reminded me of many places I stayed in in India. The rooms are large, our family one was and well cleaned each day. Staff helpful.

We are staying at this hotel not for the first time! The hotel is old, but the rooms are large, very conveniently located, not far from the Thai Embassy! 7 minutes by car and 20 minutes on foot! There is a nice big pool, we always take rooms with access to the pool! Normal breakfast! Nothing special, Toasts, Asian rice porridge, eggs and omelet, coffee, tea! Near there is 7-11, some good cafes with a place for food (Indian and vegetarian), a small market and food court! To the shopping center 10 minutes on foot, to the Tower Komtar 20 minutes on foot!

Excellent”

Lovely , understated place to stay . I really appreciated the solid beauty of the building. The Staff were really helpful. However, the Complex seems a bit tired (tropical weather does that ) . Needs some money thrown at it -.bit of paint and the street frontage smartened up would be a start. Nothing too dramatic though - its dignified faded charm is what makes it a comfortable place to stay . Private outdoor areas to sit are a winner. I tried the Chinese restaurant in the complex- food was really delicious and staff were pleasant. There are many street food stalls and great restaurants in easy walking distance but without the tourist crowds of in town . All the towels and bed linen could do with an update but what was available was clean. I will happily stay again.
