"Hotel was located in a fantastic area, walking distances to alot of eateries. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there again."

"The rooms and facilities were kept in good condition. The Hotel I have stayed in many times over 15-20 years from time to time, although a little bit older than the new high end hotels nearby, is still extremely well maintained and the location is excellent ( relatively short walk to) near Gurney Plaza. Will probably stay again in future when visiting."

"We stayed in many hotels in Malaysia. This one by far was the best one! "

"All staff are excellent. We had a lovely stay here for three nights. Food is really very good with much choice. If we are in Penang we will definitely come here again. "
