Dirty environment, not able to get extra hand towel from hotel, location is far from George Town, can’t get Chinese breakfast from nearby places, very disappointed with the hotel And there is no fridge in the room to store drinks
Very special place in the grounds of an interesting Chinese Temple which can get rather busy. It is on a beach mainly used by locals with small fishing boats but great for swimming at the far end. There are many eateries and a Tesco nearby.
Comfortable, clean and friendly.
The more than adequate set breakfast of fried eggs, sausages, slices of meat, baked beans and toast was served in the small dining area enabling conversation with other guests.
The only thing that disturbed me was the lack of view from our room. The windows had wooden shutters permanently closed from the outside apparently to keep out the mosquitoes. As we were only there for two nights and were out most of the day this was not a huge problem and It certainly won’t put me off staying there again.
I recommend the 8 Boutique to anyone who wants a good place to stay which is just that little bit different.
It doesn't look like much on the outside (much better to look away from the building towards the open sea!), but the room is nice and spacious. Not all of the windows seal up completely, but the a/c kept the room comfortable. The shower worked great. I wished there had been a small refrigerator in the room, but there was one downstairs in the office/breakfast area. I would stay here again if I needed a budget option in this convenient location!

Above a Chinese Buddhist temple. Next to a cute beach. But that is ruined by evening crowds and nasty dogs on beach in the morning.
Decent air conditioning but must be left on at all times to get decent temperature.
Good breakfast.
The owner was really friendly as well as the workers. The room was comfortable and it is exactly like the pictures. With the price given, it has exceeded the expectation. Although the heater has a bit of problem, otherwise it is all good and the TV has Astro. Parking wise is a bit of a nightmare since it is closed to the tourist attraction, but the parking fees only paid once and it will all be good. Love the memories and the time spent in the hotel, hope there is next time.

Big failure!!!
Very poor! Smokey, noisy room. (Barking dogs in the night, Hotel owner also yelling around bedtime,) Ppwer outage. TV set not operational. Booked a room with breakfast for two ppl, but hotel owner refused to give another slice of toast. Check-in desastrous. Confusion over durance of stay, guest name and passport numbers. Seem to understand 5% of English. Supervised during breakfast the action of the guests, just as uf he wanted to restrict the consumption of tea and coffee.
Never, ever again!!!
The hotel is super close to the beach, much closer than what I've expected.
The hotel offered us a spacious room with a bath tub that is big enough for an average Asian guy to take a comfortable bath.
The down side of the the hotel is the Indonesian guy works there does't speak much English.
Helpful and friendly hotel staff.
Very pleasant and spacious room for a modern look hotel.
Room is very well maintained and clean.
Though the bedding is not as premium but I did had a good sleep.
Very safe place. Minimal parking fees but its okay. No big deal.
Could visit the Secret Garden day and night.
Breakfast was really good. Fresh from the stove.
Hope the hotel owner could expand upper floors in the future. Better view from higher floor. Really nice to see the sea
Great value and extremely kind & helpful owner. Right beside multiple temples, including one that has a popular light display at night. Also next to a nice crab restaurant that gets quite crowded.
청소하면서 사용한 타월을 그대로 놓고 가서
프런트에 가서 새타월을 요구했더니, 세탁한 타월이 없다며,
아메리칸 스타일이냐며 자신들이 할수 있는 일이 없다고 했다
사과도 아니고, 그런 대응방식에 체크아웃을 요구하니,
환불은 익스피디아에 알아보라고 해서
체크 아웃을 하고 다른 호텔에 투숙했다
필요한 곳에 가까운 장점밖에 없는 곳이고, 다른 사람에게 추천할 생각따윈 없다
싼 것은 비지떡이란 말이 맞는 것 같다.
Very isolated. Staff not friendly at all. Very isolated . No telephone in the room. No reception after 9.00 pm. Reception, kitchen,and breakfast room all together in one cramped place.
Beautiful beach right outside your doorstep, great seafood restaurant and a chinese temple next door makes this hotel a unique and memorable experience. Its a more quiet and a more beautiful alternative to a hotel in the heart of town. Only a 10 - 15 minute drive into the popular tourist attractions, the location is ideal and you can still get around quite easily. A simple breakfast and coffee are included.
Ruime kamer. Mooie badkamer. Alleen was het een beetje rumoerig vanwege brommers en de tempel.
Ook deed het slot het niet waardoor wij de beheerder moesten bellen omdat wij opgesloten zaten in de kamer. Wel moeilijk te vinden.
