        Loved how spacious the room was and the interior design was quite unique as well. Was worried that noise will be a problem as mentioned in previous reviews but it didn't bother us at all. Only downside is there was no parking allocated for this hotel and no pick up point in front. Suggest to future guests to park/Grab to Areca hotel in the row behind.

        The residences location is strategic, surrounding with foods. There is roti bakar selling in the morning beside the hotel, and famous chendul opposite the road. Overall, the hotel is nice to stay, but because it is next to the road, the noise might be a bit annoying and the sound proof to the next unit is not good enough, can be improved.

        Beautiful Place BUT...”

        The rooms are large and gorgeous and the location is right smack in town, beside Komtar. The big problem is the loud noise coming from a nearby club at night, non-stop until around 3 am.

        Spacious Room ”

        It's located in the centre of city, surrounded by a lot of local food. Walking distance to the famous Chendul stall, further down a lot will be the traditional morning market. Other than that, the room is really spacious and the design is very cozy.

        It is nice but it is by the roadside, so it may be not a good choice if you are a person that won't have deep sleep.

        MOUSE IN MY ROOM ”

        found out there was a mouse in my room while netflixing during midnight. No front desk staff, no numbers to call to if emergency like this happen. so we two girls stayed up all night worrying cz we heard scuffling sound and it was scurrying in room still! Finally staff came to work in the morning, informed them about the situation and their response was rather disappointing. They were just looking at us and no words, no instant solutions and not even an apology for what we’ve experienced in their hotel. We asked for another room for us to rest till we do the check out that morning. The staffs’ attitude were fine, nothing rude but when the situation informed, the responses were like none of their businesses. The customer service could be improve and refine in a better way. Room was nice but cleanliness can be done better.

        Poor hotel maintenance”

        Location of hotel was great and convenient. Room was spacious and comfortable enough. Sadly, hotel is in dire need of better management and maintenance. Shower in ground floor units were designed with no floor drop, resulting in water flooding and ponding over the bathroom floor. A serious design flaw compensated with a cheap rubber curb that does not work. The aircond provided was not sufficient for the size of the unit or in need of service, as the hotel was left stuffy and hot. A ceiling fan should be installed to overcome this and to provide the option to visitors for added ventilation. Ground floor units are most probably cheaper imitations of the famed upper floor units.

        The drainage system in our room is so terrible. The shower will flood when you're showering. I like the location and interior design, but the shower time is a pain in the ass because it will flood. I am not sure about other rooms though.

        Disappointing Heritage hotel, wouldnt stay again”

        I have booked for this hotel from Friday till Sunday 3rd of January till 5th of January. the property owner charges more than agoda agreed on the total amount of RM420.09 but instead they charges my credit rm449 without pre informing us on the hotel fees. After check in to the hotel, we noticed that the air conditioner was not working properly and feeling very stuffy. the staff told us that there will be another room available but when we tried to enter the room, it was locked inside and do not disturb sign was on. no compensation nor proper explanation were given to us. On the 2nd night, the noise was unbearable , loud banging music -deep bass electronic music was continuously till 4.30am, and the hotel is in fact located on the busy street on the corner. The interior of the hotel was nice and attractive but it wouldn't live up to expectations when you will have to deal with stuffy room the whole night and then loud noise on the 2nd night. Will not recommend to others

        Disappointing Experience ”

        The interior design and vibe in the residence were superb and beyond amazing. What failed us was the cleanliness and service. The cleanliness for the residence was below par, we found a few previous tenant's items during our stay. Other than that, it was a very nicely designed residence, just that it's a shame with the management for below par cleanliness.

        Couldn't sleep until 5am”

        The music from the night club across the road won't stop until 5am in the morning. The sound proof is not good enough. The management should take action against the night club on this issue. Not recommend to stay here unless this issue is resolved.

        Weird knocking sound throughout the stay”

        Hotel staff do not clean the room throughout the stay (probably due to RMCO), so all of the toiletries will not be replenished. Staff is always not around, especially when you need them. Sound proofing is bad, so the noise from the street is bad throughout the day and night. Not recommended for light sleeper. Besides that, there’s weird knocking sound like once every hour, throughout our stay.
