Another WoW hotel completed with amenities amd modern design that make you feel cozy + make tireness gone away. Room was spacious and clean but little improvement on the maintainance side as the rotten wooden window can be seen obvious when the moment opened up the curtain. AC not really cold enough due to the design and allocation of AC grill Overall still good and easy to move around & stomach wont be get hungry as eateries from left to right on your choice. Shall be back again when in Town Area

the location was good, near food court, mini mart. we stay there for 3 nights and the room facilities was very complete. toiletries, towel, hairdryer, scales. at first when we arrived, we were placed in the room at the third floor, but because there's trouble in the air con, we were given the upgraded room with big bath room. this's a boutique hotels with modern style.

I had a late check-in at the hotel, but the reception staff were very helpful and accommodating. Despite the late hour, they were friendly and efficient in getting me checked in and settled into my room. It was much appreciated after a long day of travel. It's hotel with a modern design and found it to be very clean. Happy to found a microwave to heat our takeaways. However, I had a difficult time finding parking in the area. Overall, the hotel was enjoyable, but the lack of convenient parking was a bit of a drawback. It would be great if they have a reserved parking spots for hotel guests.

Location is very convenient, easy to get food. Located at city centre, nearby have convenient mart, cafe and hawker centre. Overall is ok. But I feel the room a bit small. I booked for a Deluxe King, basically the room is only for sleeping, not much space in the room.

This place was overall amazingly clean and beautiful, from the lobby to the room. I stayed for 3 nights and I was well rested with the comfy pillows and sheets! Also, great service from the front desk personnel upon checking in and out! Staffs were warm, friendly and well mannered ☺️. Room was also spacious and homey enough and essentials were provided. Definitely would come back here next time! Thank you for the great hospitality!

Modern, newly renovated hotel. Spacious room and very clean. Warm hospitality received. Surrounded by nearby shops, recommended to take Grab as parking is a challenge. Highly recommended. Will definitely come back!

This hotel was a wonderful surprise! It was newly renovated in a very sophisticated style. The rooms were spacious and modern and the breakfast, served at the cafe on the ground floor was delicious. The only detractor (not for us) was the location which was a few kms from the centre of Georgetown but with the ready availability of GRAB cars this was no problem.

It was clean and everything worked. Located in an area with lots of local food options. Didn’t try their brekkie so no comments on food in their premise. We will consider this hotel if to visit Penang again.
