The hotel offers a strategic location near the beach and town, which is great value for money. However, the rooms appeared damp and shabby, and the lack of payment details caused inconvenience during check-in. The service was friendly and helpful overall, despite some encounters with rude restaurant counter staff.

I woke up to the awesome sea view every morning from my room, despite my request for a non-smoking room. The hotel is located right at the beachfront, offering a lovely and peaceful setting.

The hotel offers a fair experience overall, with spacious rooms and a balcony providing an ocean view. However, the lack of soundproofing can be uncomfortable, especially with noise from the surroundings. The service was a mix of helpful and impolite encounters. The location is convenient for some attractions but may require transportation for others. Dining options are limited, though there is a small terraced area. The facilities are adequate for a decent stay.

The hotel offers a relaxing seafront location, with pleasant surroundings and a spotlessly clean pool. The rooms are spacious with a big bathroom and terrace, but they could use some renovation for a fresher look. The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff members.

The hotel is at a long distance from the receptionist counter, but it was clean. The rooms need improvement as they were dirty and very old. The service was a mix of friendly and rude encounters. The location is still accessible to local restaurants and shops, but is inconvenient due to being next to a difficult-to-cross dual carriageway. The dining experience was good with a variety of choices, though the dining room was small. The hallway to rooms was dirty with stained carpets. Facilities need enhancement.

The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and town area, making it easy to access. The rooms, although on a lower floor, were clean but lacked a full view of the sea. The service had some issues with communication but showed kindness towards guests with special needs. The dining options were limited, especially for foreigners, with some dishes not appealing to all tastes. Overall, the facilities were satisfying but could be improved.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms facing the sea were comfortable and rather spacious, but I felt the hotel needed improvement in its locking system. The service was pleasant, especially by Mr Prakash and a Muslim girl in a black tudung, although there was a lack of explanation about the differences in booking pictures. The location was convenient, being near the beach area and town, but it was challenging to cross the dual carriageway. The dining options were varied, but vegetarians may find the selection limited. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.

The hotel is strategically located in Penang, in between Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi, with a small sandy beach and brilliant service to both areas. The rooms are spacious with a partial sea view, although somewhat far from the lobby. The service was exceptional, with a warm welcome and a renovating touch to our room.
