Reviews and Ratings
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. While the room location was perfect, some areas could have been better maintained. The peaceful ambiance was a major plus, making it a great stay overall.
The hotel has a great view of the sea from the spacious rooms, perfect for a family of 5, despite the dated furniture and facilities. The service was friendly but lacked problem-solving skills. The location is strategic with easy access to popular tourist attractions, although it lacks proper management. The dining experience had limited variation and poor quality at times.
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. Dining experience was a hit or miss, with some cleanliness issues during breakfast hours, but the hotel's location near the beach is unbeatable.
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 with good value for money, providing a pleasant place to relax. However, there were some minor disappointments like difficulty crossing the nearby dual carriageway. The dining experience offered a good variety despite some shortcomings in the spread.
I had a wonderful time at this hotel. The room had a beautiful view of the sea, but it was a bit too cold for my liking even with the air conditioning off. The service was top-notch, with helpful and efficient staff. The location was convenient, right between Georgetown and Batu Feringgi, making it easy to explore nearby areas. The dining experience was average, with limited breakfast options. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms offered pleasant views of the sea and local fishing boats, but were in need of renovation and were quite noisy with children running around. On the bright side, the hotel was spacious and fairly priced, making it a decent choice for a stay.
The hotel is in a convenient location with a bus station nearby, but it's not very close to historical sites or beaches. The rooms are old-fashioned with outdated furniture and TV, and the noise level can be disruptive due to the central air conditioner. The service was a mix of friendly and rude interactions. The dining options were limited and the restaurant atmosphere was not appealing. The hotel facilities were not up to standard and lacked cleanliness in certain areas.
The hotel is conveniently located for easy access to Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi, with clean and inviting surroundings. The rooms, though comfortable for the price, could use some improvements in terms of amenities. The dining experience, while offering a lot of Asian food choices, may be somewhat limited for certain tastes.
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. The dining experience offered common Malaysian fare, but with some local delicacies that might not suit all tastes. The facilities are well-maintained, making it a comfortable stay.
