The hotel offered a spacious and unique layout that was quite impressive for the affordable price we paid.

I had a delightful stay at this boutique hotel, which is just a stone's throw from all the iconic restaurants and attractions in Penang. I loved the small indoor pool and enjoyed the clean and spacious room on the first day. On the downside, the noise from the nearby mosque at night was a bit distracting. Overall, it offered great value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this boutique hotel. The location is fantastic with easy access to many nearby attractions and great food options. The rooms felt airy and spacious, but the air conditioning was a letdown as it didn't cool effectively. The service was professional yet a bit impersonal since communication was primarily through WhatsApp. Overall, it had its perks but wasn't perfect.
