If you need internet don't stay here. The free WiFi is very unreliable often with weak signal and often not working at all. The place sometimes seems like a dosshouse too. I couldn't sit in the upstairs lounge one evening because there is an old Chinese guy asleep on a camp bed. He sometimes sleeps in the lobby area and... More

If you want to stay where you are kept up half the night either by the lady down the alley, t.v. or just people talking then stay here. There is a man sleeps by the stairs with shorts on, legs wide open. One of the day staff was asleep, cause he had been drinking earlier during the day. Also we... More

Stayed four nights in a twin room with private bathroom- cost 55MR a night. Great location for town and also the majority of rapid penang buses leave from street nearby to go to other parts of island. Rooms were big and clean. I note alot of reviews comment on noise. Agreed there was some from the lady in the alley.... More

Watchout: there is a homeless women sreaming and shouting every few seconds throughout the night. Every 30 minutes she beats heavily with a wodden lath onto the alleys metal handles, which sounds like construction works. Even with my industrial earplugs I could not sleep at all (this is very very seldom). She has here standard "sleeping" place directly below the... More

The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and the price was o.k. They promised us a room at 12 pm and when we arrived they had rented to out, so they gave us a bigger room for a discount but still more than our original room quote. The real problem came during the night with the noise. The Star... More

The location is very good, in the center and there is a bus stop of the free shuttle bus nearby. The room was spacious and aircon and shower worked well. The only downside was that the bathroom would smell at times and the place was full of ants (the ground floor, the upper one might not have this problem), but... More

Found this hotel to be of good value and clean. The location was quiet, was a bit concerned at window that opened into the alleyway that ran along beside the hotel which had a stinking sewer (like all streets in Georgetown) but it was fine. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

I stayed here one night on Thurs 24th Jan 2013. I found it after traipsing around town looking for a place to stay! When I arrived, I was told there was only one room left, and it was the small room! I was shown it, and it was indeed a small room. You walk in and basically get into bed,... More
