Stayed here for three nights whilst in Penang. The hotel was great value for £35 per night, rooms tidy if a little dated, but spacious clean and good aircon. The hotel is quite grand in its own way and we were sort of shocked as we walked in with backpack, shorts and flip flops to see some well attired guests... More

Comfortable rooms, nice pool, good location close to Jalan Nagore restaurants and bars and New World Plaza eateries. Older, but reasonably well maintained. Central air conditioning without individual thermostats.

The name of the hotel sounds good but the real condition is really sucks. The car parking is very limited, dirty and dark. Have to be extra careful especially at night. The room is very old and the cleanliness is just moderate. It is worse than certain budget hotel in Penang. The only good thing is their service. I wrote... More
