Good location, lovely helpful staff and a nice clean and comfortable room. Room can get a bit warm in the day when you are out and about but air conditioning doesn’t take too long to cool it down. Breakfast was okay but it is always going to be hard for it to top the incredible food across Penang! Would stay again.

An old building with some of its history displayed around the complex. The rooms are a good size with a comfortable bed, good shower, small bar fridge, and a filtered water tap. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Short walk from the ferry terminal and to main areas of old Georgetown.
