Almost perfect :)”

Very clean. All well equipped. Just that during my stay in room 1508, when i turn the water on (both the shower and the bath tub water tap), water came out from both ways. Not affecting any of our comfort but it sure wastes a lot of water. Please get the maintenance to fix it. Next, the noise insulation could improve a bit more because even though my room is on 15th floor, i can still hear vehicle sounds even all windows are properly shut. Bed, pillows and blanket are awesome. TV channel ok quite number of channels to choose from however the receiver could be improve so that you can get rid of those flickers on the screen. No harm to give a 9/10 for my stay. :)

Excellent value for money hotel. Quite near Jalan Penang street, Komtar etc. (almost walkable). Very good Indian restaurant "Passions of Kerala", a few mins away. All the attractions in georgetown are very near. However, Batu Ferringhi beach / Spice Garden is a bit far (around 12 kms). The breakfast was excellent, with variety of foods. I used the gym on all the 3 days. Swimming pool is good, though a bit small. Room has all the amenities like iron, dryer, coffee / tea , hot water kettle, hangers etc. The staff at the reception were very cordial in giving information about the tourist attractions. Fully carpeted hotel.

The room is breathtaking, wall-to-wall carpeted, spacious bathtub. The only downside is the AC, warm and the temperature is static. Overall, will definitely stay at this hotel in the future!
