“Avoid unless you really desperate for a cheap place to stay.”
I can’t say much except that it was cheaper and available for a long weekend in Penang when everything else was booked. The staff was helpful but had limits to what they could do. It was really a budget room above a shop. The 3rd floor had no lift. It was above a mamak shop and we stayed during the Champions League final, which was not pleasant. There was an attached bathroom as claimed but no toilet, which we desperately needed, so we still had to go outside for a toilet, which didn’t flush. The staircase and the interior had a smoke smell and some musty odor because there was no ventilation. Checking in was the longest process I’ve ever experienced; it was the only one I’ve had that required a deposit (maybe they didn’t trust their own guests) and a copy of a driver’s license. The room was tiny but had two beds. It was relatively clean but the bedding was cheap. We had thin pillows and bedsheets with tiny fluff balls. It was uncomfortable and the traffic noise was like the windows were open. The photos were tinted/etc to look nicer, I guess. I don’t mind being budget but be clear about it and don’t pretend to be something you are not.
