The room was just nice for a 2 person stay for a few nights. It was clean and had enough amenities that made our stay rather comfortable. It is RIGHT OPPOSITE the Georgetown Ferry Terminal and a few mins walk from major tourist spots like Chulia Street, Armenian Street, the Clan Jetties, and Fort Cornwallis. Its location is very strategic. Our stay was very comfortable and very value for money. For a budget hotel, it is really well-maintained and definitely exceeded our expectations.
The street can get a little noisy as the hotel is situated on Pengakalan Weld, a main street. We also had issues with the iron, it wasn't clean and made stains on our clothes but could be washed off.

die gute Lage unmittelbar gegenüber dem Hafen und dem Busbahnhof und bis zur Altstadt ist es auch nicht weit. Außerdem die gute Ausstattung des Zimmers mit sehr guter Dusche und kleinem Sofa als zusätzliche Sitzmöglichkeit. Aus meiner Sicht ist das Hotel für einen Aufenthalt in Penang empfehlenswert! 
Was kein Frühstück angeboten wurde! Jedoch gibt es in fußläufig Nähe genügend Möglichkeiten zum frühstücken.

The hotel is close to the piers and main restaurant shopping areas, little India, Fort etc. It was very cheap, clean, had fridge, T/C making and nice ensuite but no restaurant. The road it is on is very busy as it is the main road around Georgetown and has rumble strips which are very noisy. We were meant to get a view room and were at the back and looks into a multi level carpark. So there are no views from the back, maybe the front across the water but then it is noisy. They give you WIFI code for 24hrs, then need to get a new one. Guess it is safer than some hotels. We had breakfast at JOJA Bagels in Bishop St, excellent and cheap.
Noisy front road, view at the back is a new multi story carpark (not on a google map yet) , they say a price for breakfast but there isn't a restaurant at present. Place to eat close by. Photos attached are the room and the view.

Air conditioned room and channels on the TV. Alright location
Check in took nearly 45 mins and the staff were so unhelpful. We asked to print our bus ticket and they said no, even though there was a printer. There may have been a policy against this but come on, if you have travellers they will need to print bus tickets or plane tickets. Not air conditioned in the lobby either. Room was very basic, but clean.

The location is nice - just steps from the historical center and all the attractions whilst on the quiet street. However the road is still a bit noisy in the night. The room is spacious, the harbour view is nice.
The staff wasn't helpful at all. I've arrived at 8pm with 2 big luggages and little baby. Nobody helped me with the luggage instead of this they immediately asked to pay for the room first not even giving time to rest after the road. Very poor english speakers unusual for Georgetown. When I've asked for a place to have a dinner they've mumbled something unrecognisable but the next day it turned out that the restaurants were just steps from the hotel and still open.
The bathroom is so dark it is hard to see yourself in a mirror.

Nice rooms.
Sadly, the ferry terminal opposite has closed and many small eateries too. So this is no longer in a great location.
Major renovations done throughout (eg floors)....but work not completed. Windows need replacing and all walls need painting
Wifi boosters needed for higher floors

location was convenient to visit the Jetty area. However road strips (to slow cars) were installed directly outside the hotel. Cars driving past causes a loud whining sound that can be heard constantly 24 hours a day as the road is a major road.
1. Air Con Completely Broke Down. On the 2nd night the aircon broke down. The hotel made NO EFFORT to fix or do anything to resolve the issue. This is Malaysia and it is unbearably hot in the room with our an aircon or even fan.
2. WiFi Does NOT WORK. I can accept if WiFi is a bit slow But for the 3 days there, it didn’t work at all. Telling the counter staff didn’t change the situation.
3. Dirty. There was NO cleaning of room by the hotel despite the ‘Pse Make sup Room’ tag put on the door. U have to ask for bottled water.
4. Impossible to rest with the loud whining sound for cars driving past the front of hotel bec it’s a high traffic road with road strips.
5. No Response from Hotel on any of the Major Issues brought up to the counter staff or via email.

the staff are very friendly and helpful. location is great. room was clean and suitable.
the wifi was PURE TRASH. we could not stay connected for over a minute at any point during our three night stay. the laundry service was ridiculously overpriced especially considering clothes came back not properly cleaned.

Very clean and worth for price.
The lift is located at 1st floor. Got some stairs to reach the lift. It becomes difficult for disabled person to use wheelchair.

We had the loveliest room with a view of the harbour. The hotel is located in the heart of Georgetown, close to most things tourists want to see.
There was traffic noise from outside which was hard to ignore.

The room is small, but cozy. The bed is very comfortable. There is a hairdryer, iron, Wi-Fi, refrigerator. Convenient hotel location, great staff. Very good bathroom!
When booking it was stated high floor and sea view, instead the room was on the first floor and overlooking the parking lot. On the first night, someone was smoking in the next room - the smoke through the ventilation went straight to us. After complaining to the staff, the problem was solved - thank you!
