Live in the center of George Town, Penang & very close to Comtar, so it’s very convenient. Breakfast is so good with many choices of local and international foods. We like the staff and their services..

The location of the hotel is ideal as it is near a shopping mall and is near to all the famous food stalls. The only cons was the water leakage daily that made the floor wet. Perhaps you might want to look into it

Great view, alls good with this hotel. Nothing exceptiknal, but above average. However location is not immediately near any food stalls that opens late. Quite abit of traffic right outside the hotel during peak hours. Do plan transport early.

Super strategic and convenient location within Georgetown vicinity.. easily access to tourist attractions by just walking (if you don't mind to walk under malaysia weather) or e-hailing at reasonable prices.. strongly recommended..

The place is very luxurious but not too grand. Rooms are great and filled with good quality products. Really enjoyed my stay here. Parking is free underground

Location is really good - I would even give 10 stars out of 5 stars because it is surrounded by big shopping malls. Can walk for food and supermarket. Nice lobby and staff friendly. There is gym and pool though pool is abit small. Breakfast was ok sufficient but could be better with choices compared to when we went to Thailand and Bali. It gets full seating around 8am. Room size I think good and we had the sea view to enjoy. Overall I was pleased with my stay.
