I had a bit of a mixed experience during my recent stay. The hotel is quite new and clean, which I appreciated, and it's located conveniently next to a food alley. However, the room was cramped, and I struggled with limited space for my luggage. Overall, it's decent for a short stay if you're okay with a few downsides.

The room was very cramped, with limited space for luggage. Even though it was a family room, it still felt small.

Cleanliness is quite an issue here; if you forget to request cleaning, you'll be stuck with the same mess until you ask again.

I had a great experience at this hotel in Penang. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to various eateries and local attractions. The room was spacious and exceeded my expectations for a budget hotel, but I did have some trouble with the tour operator outside the hotel. Overall, it's a solid choice for a comfortable stay at a good price.

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel with spacious and clean accommodations. The staff were thoughtful, especially with their gesture to apologize for the late check-in. However, the noise from the street was disruptive at times, and some amenities like toiletries were not provided. The location is very convenient for accessing local markets and transport, which is a plus, but the overall value feels mixed due to certain limitations.

I recently stayed for a couple of nights, and while the hotel had some attractive aspects like its cleanliness and modern feel, the cramped rooms and lack of amenities made my experience less enjoyable. The location is quite convenient with easy access to food stalls and transport, but the limited parking was a hassle. Overall, I expected a bit more for the price I paid.

I recently stayed at this new hotel and was pleasantly surprised by its clean and modern vibe. The rooms were spacious enough for my family, and I really appreciated the friendly service from the reception staff. Though the dining options around were plentiful, I found the parking situation to be a challenge. Overall, it’s a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers looking for convenience in Penang.
