Nice hotel. Ada mini swimming pool, ruang tamu. Friendly receptionist. Room attached with private bathroom. Most budget hotel comes with shared bathroom. Others, you need to pay parking rm4 for the whole day, it just behind the hotel. Overall, recommended hotel.

Exceeded expectations”
Most accommodations would definitely look very different from the photos. But for this one, you really get what you see. I stayed in the 4-bed female only dorm room and it was great. The room was well-maintained and the toilets were clean. The common rooms were also well-kept and tidy. Location was also great. Too bad I was not able to explore much in the hostel since I was mostly out to explore the town. Would definitely stay here next time.

the location is really good as it's near the famous food street. the room i got is okay but too many mosquitos and the bathroom is really have a bad smells (smells like a drainage). Other than this is the parking, there is no parking provided and the car park behind hotel is quite pricey as it's charged per entrance.

BAD SURPRISE”
in first don't forget that you have to pay an extra 12 ringgits by night and 50 for key deposit when you will arrive, the room was not the one on the picture and very small for the price, very elementary bathroom, no windows, noisy with beats from horrible music in the middle of the night because walls are like papers, and for sure not a right place if you want a correct internet connection , the answer of the staff was that too much people use it, but that's normally and logical in each normal hotel, so I won't recommend this hotel for people who are looking for individual room , it's more for backpacker , the price is too expensive for this sort of room

Good location, clean, big room for family, nice staff”
This place is awesome! I've booked a room for family w small kids. Requested for lower floor and given the 1st floor. Room was big enough that can accommodate 5 adults (extra mattress) n 2 kids but still fell comfortable. Also there's a indoor balcony overlooking the main rood. There's a small pool and water dispense and small pantry. Location wise, its in the middle of the city. So convenient!definitely will come back n stay here if i will get back to penang. Cons- pub next door is quite noisy. Loud music till 5am.

Basic cleanliness should still be maintained though its hostel”
Table top and Fridge top have not been wiped for ages. A layer of dust was also visible on the top of the kettle. Understand daily makeup of room could be arranged, but din expect dustbin was not clear daily too. Other than the above, its still a value for money well equipped room + the excellent location for budget travellers!

Coolest one ”
Everything was perfect. I was checked-In for private room. I love the stuff that they provided in the room because they were useful. The facilities were the best such as wifi, kitchen, living room, dvd player, swiming pool etc. But there was one thing that made me not really happy, it was the music from the pub which is part of the hostel. It was pounding 24hrs. Anyway my room was on the second floor. I thought It would be nice for people who need silence when sleeping like me to get the room on the 3rd, 4th or 5th floor, so you can sleep peacfully. Otherwise choose another place to stay.

Pros: The toilet and the room are quite clean. Television, hair dryer, heater and so on all well functioning. The swimming pool is very clean as well and it’s good that they provide water dispenser in kitchen. The location is very good as you can just walk to komtar, prangin, 1st Avenue, the famous cendol selling place etc. Cons: There’s oil stained on the bed sheet and I saw a small cockroach climbed over the table. The soundproofing is not that good as I can hear sounds from outside very clear. The WiFi is very slow.

We stayed in the private room for 2. The bathroom was covered in black mold. We informed the reception and showed them photos of the black mold. Even after we informed requested that the bathroom be scrubbed, nothing was done about it. When we asked about it again, we were told that they were water stains. They were not permanent stains as we were able to scrub some of it off ourselves. If we wanted to we could scrub clean the whole bathroom but that's not our job! However we noticed that the shared bathrooms were better kept and considerably cleaner.
