龚龚永昕At this price point, it's fantastic value for money. I'd definitely return. Although the location is a bit far from GT, I would still consider it for future stays as it's not far from the commercial area, and transportation is decent.
GGuest UserI'm not sure what to think about this hotel. It has all the essentials (water fountain, ironing board, hairdryer), but the room is poorly soundproofed – you can hear almost everything from outside the windows. There's no elevator, and you have about 10 steps to climb plus more steps to even enter the hotel (which is tough with suitcases and bags). The common areas are extremely hot, and there's no luggage storage (though it was mentioned in the listing, we just didn't see it). On the positive side, the location is great, and check-in was fast. Thanks!
VVivian NoraI mean what could possibly ask for a lot with this price but the location is convenient after all.The room is small & the toilet is just mobile toilet and the hair dryer was broken when we stayed there but they came & replace it with a new one in the morning.Check in is easy just with passcode but it’s hard to contact to property on time actually.The bed was not too soft but it’s okay for travelers.Overall Clearly needs renovation since the room is dusty & hallway is quite smell.
GGuest UserFor travellers who travel by train, the location is excellent, walkable to the train station. Why walk when you can get a grab car easily? To walk off all the rich food we eat!
The hotel is also within walking distance to the ferry terminal (Penang Sentral). So if you arrive via ferry from Georgetown, no problem! I walked to the ferry terminal to take a ferry to Georgetown!
Adding to the convenience, there is a supermarket and self service laundromat near the hotel.
The hotel has a lift, which is convenient, if you are assigned a higher floor. No need to carry yourself and your luggage to your room. But no chance to work off the extra calories. I'm not complaining, though
Reception is 24 hours. I had to leave very early as I had an early train to catch, but was able to collect back the RM50 deposit. Oh yes, RM2 was collected during check in. Trip.com had informed me at the time of booking, so this is not a surprise to me
The room that was assigned to me is spacious. The bathroom is well laid out. Shower on one side, WC on another side and sink in the middle. Shower gel was provided. Shampoo was not provided. It might be because the gadget for the shampoo container was broken.
I booked a windowless room. But because it was spacious, I did not miss not having a window. I paid a higher price for my room, I don't know why my receipt showed a much lower price.
In summary, I would stay in this hotel again if I go again to Butterworth

HHooi SinI stayed at Mode Inn Icon City for 1 night and had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel's biggest strength is undoubtedly its location. With numerous restaurants, cafés, convenience stores and other amenities within walking distance, everything I needed was easily accessible. The convenience of the location is likely one of the main reasons for its popularity and room rates.
The room was clean and equipped with the essential amenities needed for a comfortable short stay. The bed was comfortable, the air-conditioning worked well, and the overall check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
While the hotel was generally well-maintained, some parts of the property showed signs of age and regular use. This did not affect my comfort during the stay, but guests expecting a newer or more modern hotel should manage their expectations accordingly.
The room size was the main drawback. Even though I booked the largest room category with a window, the room was still quite compact. It was perfectly suitable for a solo traveller staying one or two nights, but couples or guests with multiple pieces of luggage may find the space rather limited.
At approximately RM150 per night without breakfast, the pricing is slightly on the higher side for a 2-star hotel. However, considering the strategic location and overall convenience, I can understand why the hotel remains a popular choice among travellers.
