Spacious and Comfortable

I stayed in a Deluxe Double Room, and it was incredibly spacious with a large, comfortable bed. The room had ample natural light, and the amenities like the kettle and fridge were very convenient. I loved waking up to the beautiful view right above Armenia Street, and the ambiance was just perfect for relaxation.

Well-Equipped Bathrooms

The bathrooms in the Deluxe Double Room were very well-equipped. I appreciated having an additional toilet on the upper level, which made it easy for my family to manage morning routines without having to wait. Everything was clean and well-maintained, making our stay even more comfortable.

Modern Amenities

I was pleasantly surprised to find an Android TV in my room with access to streaming services. It was great to unwind in the evening after a day of exploring. The WiFi was also reliable, allowing us to stay connected and even plan our next adventures easily.

Charming Pool Area

Though the pool was small, it was a lovely little area to relax and cool off. On warmer days, it was nice to have the option to take a dip while waiting for our tours. It's perfect for families too, as it kept the kids entertained while the adults could organize other activities.

The hotel offered a spacious and unique layout that was quite impressive for the affordable price we paid.

I had a delightful stay at this boutique hotel, which is just a stone's throw from all the iconic restaurants and attractions in Penang. I loved the small indoor pool and enjoyed the clean and spacious room on the first day. On the downside, the noise from the nearby mosque at night was a bit distracting. Overall, it offered great value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this boutique hotel. The location is fantastic with easy access to many nearby attractions and great food options. The rooms felt airy and spacious, but the air conditioning was a letdown as it didn't cool effectively. The service was professional yet a bit impersonal since communication was primarily through WhatsApp. Overall, it had its perks but wasn't perfect.
