          value for money, quite near to hotspot if you are too late to check in, around 11pm. you need to be aware that, you might need to call to host. It will take long time for pick up. overall is avarage

          This is my second time staying here. Compared to other guesthouses this was a little cheaper, however the breakfast advertised is no longer available after COVID-19. The staff were really friendly and helpful; the place had a nice atmosphere. The top floor bathrooms are significantly better than the bottom floor bathrooms.

          Decent stay in George Town, Penang”

          Old school building with all its charms in the heart of George Town. Location is great - near the Blue Mansion. Vincent was really, really helpful to me during my stay there. The facilities were great - solid Wi-Fi, decent air con and bed. Hot water was a bit inconsistent and no toiletries provided, which weren't an issue at all for me but something for future travellers to consider. Overall a great stay. Definitely would go back.

          No towel, Bad lighting, Broken toilet door”

          They need to update the lighting, my room had one broken bulb, so its dim, not good for those who read book. The hallways as well, some lights wasnt turn on, especially in front of the toilet, can get pretty scary at nite, plus the old decor, not a good combination 😅 Also no towel was provided, I'm not sure if you have to request or they forgot to provide, I didnt ask, nor is it informed in the bookings. Upstairs got 3 toilet/bathroom but one is unusable because the toilet door was broken, they should really fix that The staff was ok All in all, a not so bad experience

          I can only speak for the standard room with shared bathroom maybe other rooms are better. We stayed at other hotel from the same owner and were very satisfied so hope this one can improve. Unfortunately the mattress and pillow were very uncomfortable, the whole room dusty and a bit smelly (no window). Shared bathroom not clean, out of three just one had showergel, another was not working. WIFI signal so low that as if non existent, at least from our room. Staff was nice, check in and check out without complications, location okay, price also cheap but in comparison with other two hotels from same owner with same price range we would not book another night here
