Stayed here for recently in single bed room. Hotel service is great. Fast check in and check out. The staffs are very lovely, and welcoming.Love the rooftop breakfast! Room spacious with own balcony and bathtub. Look bit old, but well cared and everything from water heater to aircond,worked well!
Around 300m from main road (Penang Road), can easily catch free bus at bus stop nearby, we even went to airport using airpot rapid bus that pass thru this road.Avoid walking alone past 11 pm. Shops mostly close at 9 pm.10 minutes walk to Komtar (bus central) and Prangin Mall. We were able to explore Georgetown only by foot from the hotel! Yeay! For location outside Georgetown such as Penang Hill or Batu Ferrighi,easily catch bus at Komtar with cheap fare.
TIPS : Prepare small money as bus drivers DO NOT provide change.Use tourist maps which you can get freely at hotel or Prangin Mall information centre.
Food : Walking distance to famous Nasi Kandar,Roti Bakar Meleleh stall near Caltex and Char Kuey Teow at Bee Hwa Cafe in front of Ibupejabat Polis Kontinjen Pulau Pinang,also jeruk Pak Ali nearby in Chowrasta Market.
Conclusion : I love this hotel with friends, if travel solo as female, i prefer hotel closer to main road such as Garden Inn or Cititel. May stick with this hotel if the state improve condition of Argyll Road (more lamps,and less construction). For the price and hospitality, this hotel is the Best in town! Recommended!
