Jannahariana, Malaysia

The location is great, really close to attractions in Georgetown.

Traveller, Malaysia

I did not expect that there is a swimming pool inside the hotel. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Easy access to malls and attractive places. Also they gave us the access to check-in early.

Raihana, Malaysia

Plenty of spaces to sit and relax bean bags etc small pool, computers, 24 hour reception.

Matt, United Kingdom

Walking distant to transport hub shopping area and street food Ac and bed was satisfactory

Ridzuan, Indonesia

Beside the Komtar bus terminal Complimentary beverages n biscuits Good aircon and clean bathrooms

Eddy, Malaysia

I asked for a quiet room which we had away from the other rooms. The staff were very helpful. It was a good central location for Komtar food shopping and the UNESCO heratige centre of Georgetown. Flat screen TV hairdryer and safe in the room. The staff offered a local map. They happily stored our suitcases until we left. There was a communal kitchen with a cooker fridge and sink downstairs and a handy shop next door.
