From check‑in to check‑out, the service was warm, attentive, and efficient. Staff greeted us politely, responded quickly to requests, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy and elegant—quiet, clean, and tastefully decorated, creating a perfect relaxing vibe. The lobby and common areas felt sophisticated yet comfortable, and the overall environment was peaceful and pleasant. Every detail showed great care for guests. We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great service and a lovely atmosphere!
I rate full stars for everything! Love their lobby and cafe environment which is really suitable for us to relax ,slow down while enjoying their fresh brewed coffee❤️
Spacious room with reasonable price ~24 hours front desk service provided ,and location that not too far from town which is attract me the most. Will definitely be my first choice when travel to Penang !
Spacious and new rooms with a modern design.
Excellent value for money.
I like the lobby vibe and the complimentary drink vouchers perfect for redeeming cocktails and freshly brewed coffee!
This was my second time staying at this hotel, and I’m happy to see they’ve added several new facilities since my last visit. The new amenities include a gym (with a giant treadmill!), a kids’ club, yoga sessions, and a self-service laundry area, which make the stay even more convenient and family-friendly.
One of their biggest highlights is the complimentary freshly brewed coffee — definitely a plus point!
The hotel is located about 10 minutes away from the town center and the airport, which makes it very convenient and easy to travel around Penang Island.
They don’t serve free buffet breakfast!

Bathroom lock for Room 1032 is not aligned properly, making it hard to lock the bathroom door. And the almost transparent glass panel is quite visible from outside of the bathroom when someone is bathing.

Disliked: Amenities
My stay was disappointing because several basic amenities and services did not meet the standard I would expect from a hotel.
There were no complimentary coffee or tea-making facilities in the room, which is a basic convenience provided by most hotels. In addition, breakfast only starts at 8:00 AM, which is far too late for business travellers who often need to leave early for meetings or work commitments.
The hotel's location is also quite inconvenient, as it is far from restaurants, shops, and other essential amenities, making it difficult for guests to access basic services.
Another issue was the low water pressure in the shower, which affected the overall comfort of the stay.
Overall, the experience did not meet my expectations. The hotel falls short in providing several basic necessities that are commonly available at other hotels. I hope these issues can be addressed to improve the experience for future guests.
