9/10 Wonderful! (36 reviews)
It’s a good but not great property. Clean with a nice lobby and access to lots of restaurants and shops. I would stay here again, but it’s not my first choice in George Town. My favorite thing about the hotel is that it was washing machines and dryers!

Aside from walking, we took Grab as our primary transportation. There is always food to eat at any hour of the day. Locals are friendly and some Grab drivers would give you suggestions on where to go or not worth going.
