Guest Reviews

• Andria (6/5): - Room is humid
• Zulkifli (8/5): - Room neat n tidy. Clean..nearby ferry port.
• ahmed (2/5): Not friendly at all - I booked a room thru Hotels.com but when I arrived to the hotel the welcome was rude. The guy told me the hotel was fully booked, then when he saw I had this booking with Hotels.com, he told me "well we got an other hotel, wait we will drive u there" I wait around 1 hour, then a guy took me there, it was a bit far and the hotel was horrible and the room was worst, without window so I asked them to cancel the booking but they didn't and it looks like that Hotels.com does not care much about that, I still have no refund!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice environment but low facilities
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The room was very dirty, no sheets for the bed, the mattress was dirty too.
• Kim Chiu (2/5): - Terrible... The bed had no headrest so there were unsightly marks made by people who leaned on the wall..!
• SITI (8/5): - happy to stay
• Verified traveler (10/5): - the staff was friendly and the room was everything you could expect from a budget accommodation.
• howard (10/5): Cheap & Suitable, with nice managers - Low-cost, budget hotel. Staff are extremely nice. (When they realized that I wasn't leaving town until the evening, they even offered to let me take a shower after I had checked out.)
• まさ (6/5): まあまあ - 冷蔵庫がほしいなあ。 陽が当たらない部屋だったので暗かった。 場所はリトルインディアすぐそば。 部屋ではワイファイがつながらなかった。
• Jianhua (10/5): Enjoyable - Clean and worth this price 干净，值这个价
• syam (8/5): Sangat power - Sangat menarik dan dekat dengan tempat tempat tumpuan. Saya amat amat amat amat amat amat sarankan kepada semua untuk datang ke motel ini. Sebab sangat sangat sangat sangat murah, selesa dan mantap. Jom jom jom kita pergi ke motel friendship kerana sangat sangat sangat sangat sangat sangat sangat berbaoi. Itu sahaja dari saya untuk anda semua
• Wantana (10/5): - Good
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Det läckte från taket i rummet, och luktade mögel. Det fungerade bra för en natt men hotellet behövs verkligen rustas upp. Detta dåliga intryck vägde dock upp av damen i receptionen som var så extremt hjälpsam och underbar! Hon fixade biljetter till Langkawi för oss, och sen hämtade hon dem till och med medan vi var iväg och åt, så vi behövde bara kliva på färjan
• Booggy (2/5): A éviter! - Chambres sans fenêtres. Hôtel et chambres vétustes, linge de toilette usé, personnel peu accueillant !
• kanchi (6/5): - Whenever we needed assistance, staff were quick to help. Service with a smile. Really made my trip memorable. Love and kisses Kanchi
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Requests 2 Single Beds but given 1 queen bed. No table, no chair.
• Michelle (6/5): - A lot of mosquitos in the room. Right in the heart of little india, great location. good for the price, just, like, 30 mosquitoes in our room.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Towels smell bad. No tv and kettle in the room, hopefully they at least provide tv in the future. Nevertheless, the location is good because museums are within walking distance.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Ok for the price - Just basic, don't expect too much for the price
• Verified traveler (6/5): Du får hvad du betaler for - Hotellet rummer det, man skal bruge og intet mere. Madrasserne var meget urene men sengetøjet dog relativt rent. Et fint sted hvis man blot ønsker et sted at opbevare sin baggage og en seng at sove i.
• shih hsiung (8/5): - 地點好,住宿費用便宜還算乾淨,老闆是華人夫婦態度親切,缺點沒有每天打掃,房間無電視
• Guest (6/5): - The room is ok. Cannot expect much due the price. If u can at least provide the tv it would be better.
• robert (6/5): - Good location. Room infested with ants. Bed and bedding terrible.
• RM (2/5): Not a nice place - The room is basic which is fine for what you pay. However the beds are probably 20 years old. You can feel the springs. Couldn't sleep and one will get a back ache. Not really a budget inn to supply such amenities. Wont recommend it to any one for whatever reason. Hope the management does something about this soon.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Handig en schoon motel - Het is een motel waar je heerlijk tot rust komt in de drukke stad.
• Hans (2/5): Fruktansvärt! Bo aldrig här! - Rum 221. Hemskt från början till slut. (När jag skulle lägga upp bilderna så hängde sig sidan, så orkar faktiskt inte skriva om allt en gång till) Mögelstank i hela rummet. Som att gå in i en vägg. Sunkigt och missfärgat lakan av smuts. Inga sängkläder förutom lakanet och ett gammalt skitigt överkast som skulle användas som täcke. Kudden var faktiskt relativt ren. Badrummet var vi bara inne i för att spotta i handfatet efter tandborstning. Vi ville varken duscha eller gå på toaletten där. Trasigt! Hål och revor i väggar och golv. Lampor som inte var bytta. Utsikten var till ett rökrum/rökruta på 1 kvadratmeter. "Mysigt" När vi skulle sova kände vi oss tvungna att ta på oss långärmade kläder med huva och långbyxor för att slippa nudda lakanet. Vi la den trasiga handduken uppe på lakanet som extra skydd för den kändes lite renare. Fruktansvärt. Aldrig. Aldrig mer detta "hotell". Förstår inte varför hotels.com har med det. Nu vågar jag inte försöka lägg upp bilderna igen.
• KWUN MING (4/5): 旅館太舊，不值得推薦 - 旅館經營了很多年，房間已經很殘舊，加上好像沒進行過翻新，感覺很骯髒。房間內只得睡床一張，桌子一張，浴室一間，就這樣吧了，連一張椅子也沒有，也沒有電視，WIFI 訊號也不好。唯一優點是旅館的位置好，走出大馬路便有免費的 CAT 巴士可乘搭，去很多景點都很方便。總結來說，用相同的價錢可以入住其他更好的旅館/旅舍。
• jason (6/5): decent for the money - dark, a bit dingy, dated decor, thin towels, short blanket, wifi okay. close to little India and the jetty.
• Orlando (4/5): - First we were told to come back in two hours after a long bus trip as they couldn't find our expedia booking. Then they gave us a room furthest from the wifi router. When asking the night staff where is the TV and free wifi advertised, we were told a bunch of different stories, then told the truth which was some rooms have TV but now none of them work. We were however moved to a room without bugs and closer to the router on the second night.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Everything looks ok,but tv is out of date,not functioning and useless
• Verified traveler (10/5): The best hotel for a short vacation! - For a low cost hotel, this hotel is beyond my expectation. The room is so clean that you can even lie down on the floor. Amazing
• Peter (10/5): - Only issue is the mattress. We were unable to zzz on the first night. Until we turned over the mattress for the 2nd night then the problem solved
• Verified traveler (6/5): Room too close to Penang street, noisy at night. - My room on the 1st floor was next to Penang street, and it was noisy at around 1 am due to constant motorcycle noises. Could hardly get a good night's sleep.
• Jason Yoon.KT (8/5): Trip to PenangAnimeMatsuri2016 - Simple, Great, Kind Staff and Boss
• Verified traveler (6/5): Value for the price. - Overall is good except for the blanket & towel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Cheap but comfortable and nice place for backpack traveller
• To Yin Francis (6/5): A very basic inn with fair charge. - It's a very basic inn with hot shower and air-con, Fair for the charge. Close to some major sightseeing points. Easy to reach the bus terminal. Quiet area. The counter keeper "Mr. So" is very nice and helpful. Almost no WiFi signal inside room 223, but good once out ot the room.
• Kevin (6/5): Nice hotel but very bare/spartiate room - very bare room, only a bed and a small table (no window, no TV, no bed table, etc.).
• Verified traveler (2/5): Uncomfortable stay - It was a last minute booking -one night stay. One can actually easily feel the mattress spring.Any movement on the mattress will produce a loud springy noise - very bad condition. Blanket was old, dirty and worn out. TV (dated and small) not working and only one out of three ceiling lights was working.
• S.K. (10/5): A Surprise Hidden Package - All Pleasant Ambience Convenience In Close Vicinity Amidst Good Room Service.
• Verified traveler (4/5): ok hotel - Simple hotel. Good location. Sheets were not clean. Wifi worked in room. Not super friendly. Can't expect much for that price. Overall ok.
• Max (10/5): great price, very nice staff - we loved the location, it's perfect. the room was nice. nothing luxurious but amazing for the price paid.
• eli (10/5): good price and awesome stay - hotel room was nice for the price
• Verified traveler (6/5): OK for price & location. - Good hotel for the price, however, our blanket was a torn / worn rag. Asked for a different one and they didn't have any extra.
• Sulaiman (8/5): Deposit-Less Stay - The lady there is very kind & welcoming. Location is very convenient for candidates sitting for IELTS exams. Best thing is that no deposit is involved.
• Satish (8/5): The great holiday - Was a great 1, with great ervice at very cheap price. And the old chinese aunty at counter was very friendly, showed us guidance on way to go to our destinations and even provided with bus ticket services which helped us a lot. But, cons was stairs was too high, no fan in room (Only air-cond), weak wifi signal. otherwise everything was considered very good
• mani Shankar (6/5): Decent Experience - This hotel is most suitable for bachelors and friends. Value for money. Very decent with a/c, attached toiled and hot water facility.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Bare rooms, good location - The hotel was located in a great location near lots of food. However, the room was very bare (even for a standard room) the evening receptionist was not helpful at all. The morning lady receptionist was very friendly though. I'm not sure if it's a usual thing (it wasn't explained to us when we checked in) but the electric in the room got turned off at exactly 8am sharp. From a few other reviews I read it seemed to happen a few times. It was annoying as the room is very dark and 8am is way too early to switch off the electric. That said, air conditioner was good and water heater worked well. Pictures of rooms are extremely deceiving though, the room we were given was nothing like in the photos.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The hotel is well located in the UNESCO heritage zone of georgetown. For a budget traveller, the rates are worth the accommodation.
