    this is definitely not a 4-star hotel. The room is very dirty, with stain on the bed linen and carpet. The wardrobe floor even have bits and pieces of potato chips. The faucet of the bathtub is hard to control, with water either too hot or too cold. Bathroom walls have mildew. They charged RM2 for toothbrush too. The phone in my room is not working, […] and if you need something from housekeeping or room service, you have to call at least 2 to 3 times. Definitely not a place we wanna stay again. Read more

    The hotel is near the bus terminus at Komtar 8 minutes by walking. It certainly has its glorious days perhaps a decade ago. Room includes breakfasts and cabled internet (though hicups at times). It caters for numerous tourists groups, so it does not rely on retail customers much. If basic rooms are available, you get what you pay for. For deluxe rooms, […] much higher in prices, I have not tried, I doubt if it is money worth. Staff are friendly, but the ancillary facilities are not good, you could not watch much on TV. Read more

    The Korean Restaurant offered us meals at 10pm, excellent quality and quantity and served courteously; otherwise the room was spacious although run down and with molds at corners. The bed was nice and sheets clean, though. It was quite centrally located, and opp to the nice Wesley Church, with Evangelical services.

    Room was satisfactory, and our room had a (semi) sea view. Wireless was only available at the hotel lobby, and cabled internet access is provided in the room.

    We chose the hotel for its location which is near to the eating places and we are not disappointed as it it linked by the hotel's back door. Ask for higher floors where the rooms are newly renovated. Hotel lobby badly needs a facelift but who cares if you're only there for like 5 mins? Don't miss the courtyard buffet steamboat at Golden BBQ Steamboat […] at Jalan Nagore which is just behind the hotel (beside Pinang Plaza where there's Giant supermarket and Guardian Pharmacy) at RM20 (adult) RM10 (child) which includes free flow of drinks, dessert and ice cream! There's also a row of hawker fare behind the hotel for a hearty and satisfying breakfast. Read more
