I have experience staying in self-check in hotels before this, but this one was terrible. Despite having to make 3 rounds in jammed traffic just to find a car park, I also been told to get my room key at the other 118 hotel right once I arrived at the reception counter. Although the uncle who worked at the counter wanted to help me riding his bike, that 118 hotel staff refused and still asked me to get it for myself. Finally I got my room key after having a debate to allow that uncle to ride his bike to do his job.

Very near to transport hub (KOMTAR) which made it very convenient to go everywhere. The only downside is that the checkin desk is at their sister property about a five minute walk. Also did not notice any elevator. The above two points were not an issue for me but may be a concern for people with mobility issues. The property is well maintained and very clean. Checkin and checkout was very smooth. I enjoyed my stay of four nights and would use them again if need be.

不錯的住宿地

Check-in櫃台與房間在不同位置，事前並未告之，到房間的地址之後還要再找check-in 櫃檯，令人感到疲累。 櫃台可溝通中文，需另收押金。 房間不大，但很乾淨。 有一對外窗，但沒特別的景色。 距離光大公車站很近， 附近吃的也很多。

Clean hotel. Bath towels, hand towels and bath mat. Soap dispenser in shower. Soap bar also provided. Air conditioner, fan, hot water and wifi work well. Don’t forget to flick the switch outside the bathroom to activate the air conditioner and hot water. Water bottles provided. Also water dispenser (cold and hot) near reception with coffee and mugs. Saw umbrellas also. Good movies on TV. Tan (reception lady) very nice and polite. Do try Kuantan rd morning market, Cecil st food court, Friday night market van praagh and Ais Tingkap. Free CAT bus from Komtar around Georgetown, last stop at ferry. Then it starts again at the ferry to Komtar in a slightly different direction due to one war streets. Chowrasta market also has hawker stalls in the alley in the morning. Do not go to New Lane hawker food - overpriced and not the best in flavour. You will not be able to sit unless you buy a drink.

以這價錢很不錯 不豪華但它們最近油漆 所以整體好乾淨整潔。 來檳城如果不自己開車不坐的士的話 坐巴士是最好選擇。 光大大廈是所有巴士都經過的交通樞紐。 這位置離開光大是對面馬路 它附近有Gama 和 Time Square 平價的擺街和店舖食市有好多。

My one night stay

Came here due to its location as it is near time square. However, the room is really tiny and towels were not clean (spotted black stain and with holes). Hotel room is warm as we can't keep the air-conditioner on when we are out.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel was good, very clean and comfortable and located in an area that is well serviced by supermarkets, transport, a variety of food stalls and small cafes, and a laundry across the road. The room was bigger than I expected. Communications were a bit of an issue - I couldn't get any hotel wifi reception on my iPad or mobile phone reception in my room, admittedly not major problems but annoying. I wasn't all that impressed at getting hit with a further 8 ringgit "government tax" on top of what I had already paid with my reservation through Hotels.com. It's only 8 ringgit and perhaps a state tax in Penang (??) but no other hotel I stayed at in Malaysia found it necessary to pull that stunt. All said, it was a good hotel, clean,comfortable and safe and offers great value for money.

Holiday with husband and in-laws

Good value for money. Stayed 3 nights, was on holiday with husband and in-laws. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hot and cold water dispenser in the lobby. Hot shower, air conditioning, TV, good size room. Walking distance to the small local market (Kuantan Market), eateries (on New Lane), shopping malls (M Mall and Penang Times Square) . Easy to get around.
