7am breakfast, only 1 person is working and not quite ready to serve your guests. Coffee machine not working and no one to ask. No one is there. The bread is straight out from the fridge.
The location is next to a motorcycle shop. Very noise when they are testing their customers bike.
Room is clean.

Location is very good and staff friendly, but concierge services were poor when seeking advice re places to eat. The room was comfortable and had a nice balcony, but one floorboard was broken, covered by a mat. Breakfast was disappointing - many items in the warmers were cold and it was hit and miss getting eggs cooked the way you liked depending on who was on duty. Often food that had run our was not restocked in a timely manner at times leaving little choice. Overall it appeared that the kitchen was understaffed and not particularly vigilant.

Super cute, but the hardest mattresses ever
This hotel is *super* cute, and the breakfast spreads were quite good (I've had better, but those were pretty extreme). The location is great for walking around downtown. Note that the Transfer rooms require walking up two flights of stairs. The wifi speed was good, but maxed out on three devices. The second day there wasn't a lot of hot water for some reason. Check-in was a bit slow, but not unreasonably so. My biggest problem was that the beds were *super* hard. While I hope to visit Penang again, I won't be staying at this hotel just because of the mattresses, they were that bad. It was practically just a 1-inch layer of foam on top of a box-spring, it was that hard. Unfortunately hard mattresses are sort of a southeast asian thing so I am not sure other places will be much better either.

This hotel is in the perfect location. It had everything you need and very comfortable as well. Can be a little noisy as it’s located on a main road but it’s not too bad and they do provide you with ear plugs. Excellent staff, everything is as described on the site as well.

Online view differs quite a bit from the actual
Overall experience is okay. Service staff are accommodating. The only not so pleasant experience is the constant body odor in the room - not sure if it's from the guest prior to my stay or it's from the housekeeper who cleans my room. I had to open the window and put the fan in full blast whenever I return to my room.

Nice location on the edge of GeorgeTown, which is an easy walk away. The hotel offered an overall old school charm bringing back memories of the times spent in Singapore in the mid 60's. Room comfortable and big. Bed a tad too hard for my liking, but OK. Nice decor, balcony over looking the green and lush courtyard with interesting bird life. Just a tad noisy because of traffic (motor scooters with dodgy silencers!). Plenty of very good eateries in the general location, including 2 rather good hawker centers nor more than 5-6 mins away on foot.

Unfortunate incident
Beware if you got a duplex room with stairs. The stairs is so slippery despite us being very careful both of us slipped and got injured. When we inform the front desk they were not concerned at all and just nod. Another guest heard our conversation and mentioned she nearly slipped as well but it was a room without stairs.
Please take note and for kids and elderly please do not book the room with stairs.
There's a lot of dusts as well. Cleanliness not that good
