Great location in the historic part of town. Very modern and nice decorations and ambiance. Super super nice and comfortable rooms with private outdoor tub. Very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

The place is fairly clean, although there is still a fair amount of dust in the room. The amenities are odd, as there is no hand soap at the sink. Additionally, i discovered a pool of water in the refrigerator. Overall, it was a decent place to stay overnight, but the cleanliness of the place could be greatly improved.

My deluxe room is spacious and comfortable, with nice modern furnishing. It has all the amenities a traveler would need (ie kettle, coffee/tea, hair dryer, mini fridge). There are limited council-run public parking spaces at the front and nearby. Do note that the big private parking beside the hotel no longer charges RM8/night as stated in the booking website.

The hotel is modern, clean and strategic. The service is polite and the price is reasonable. The food court, cafe and night market are conveniently located within walking distance. However, there is no lift inside the building.

Toilet di hotel ini sangat bersih. Tidak disarankan untuk membawa keluarga dengan barang bawaan yang banyak atau banyak. Tidak ada lift dan efek insulasi suara di kamar sangat buruk. Yah, harganya tidak sepadan dan tidak sepadan.

This place is in a prime location in the city, close to cafes and restaurants. The hotel room with the bathtub is spacious, spacious, and clean. The price is definitely worth it. There is a mosque nearby, but if you are a heavy sleeper, it doesnt affect much. Parking is easy to find or you can park in the public parking area and pay with the smart penang parking app for rm 6 a whole day. Its definitely worth returning.

This is the ideal spot for you if youre searching for a hotel that is stylish and comfortable to stay in. The rooftop jacuzzi at this hotel is by far its best feature. The jacuzzi is closed for use even though it is so recent for being very retro. The roof jacuzzi is, to be precise, the best feature of this hotel. This hotel, after a very pleasant stay that was based on a contemporary design, a very charming appearance, and comfortable stay. The bathroom, in particular, with its full glass walls and black and white tiles, is simply stunning. The bathrooms interior design, including the full glass walls, is extremely breathtaking. I was very unimpressed by the decision to get a room with a balcony and a bathtub. The balcony is an excellent addition, and when you raise the blinds, you can bathe as if you are outside. Theres seating and tables so you can even drink coffee on the balcony. I took many photos while I was there, including the stairs and the buildings facade. The positives end there though, though I am rather impressed by the fact that breakfast is provided. Since being close to eating places around the hotel, it is still a problem of parking. I was even told that the parking lot may be closed at night even though the parking spot is assigned by the hotel. I found this disturbing because I was also informed that parking by the

Kamar menghadap ke jalan, kamar mandi pakai kaca, tapi ditutup gorden. Parkir terbatas. Lokasi strategis, kalau tau jalan 😁

The location is quite central. The room size and the newly renovated design are satisfactory for the price. However, there is a noticeable sewerage smell, and the bath tub lacks hot water.

4.6/526 Sep 2024

I had a pleasant stay here, and the staff was not only professional but also very friendly and helpful. The rooms are all well designed with romantic yellow lights, which gave us a feeling of home. Whats amazing is that they have a bathtub which is really nice and a glass bathroom which is suitable for couples spending their honeymoon together. Looking forward to staying at modern hotel guyana again.

The boutique hotel in georges town is modern, clean, and surprisingly spacious. It is in a very convenient location and on a quiet street so there is less noise. There is easy parking outside the hotel and the hotel is well located for food and bars. The rooms are well stocked and very affordable.

Excellent service, spotless accommodations, and lovely bathtub, making it an ideal choice for those seeking proximity to all the places we want to visit. The longest travel time is 22 minutes.

All in all, fine. The room was fine, but there was no lift inside this hotel. And i was also surprised by the bathroom. There is no free parking here. You have to pay around myr 10 if im not mistaken, then you have access to the parking next to the hotel with unlimited access in and out. Parking will only close after 12 a. M.

Recently refurbished to a trendy hotel. Great location, within walking distance. The room is clean, comfortable, but small. The weekend is very noisy as you can hear the conversations next door.

The hotel is in a prime location for food exploration in penang. The hotel is designed in a contemporary style and is housed in the historic building. Its comfortable and clean. I just hope the staff can assist guests by providing them with a lot of bags, or at least helping open the door.
