Friendly and helpful staff. Clean, comfortable room. There are lots of restaurants just steps outside of this hotel including half block of food stalls on street at night. This hotel also offers free shuttle to few local attractions from Friday to Sunday (need to book in advance). I will definitely stay here again.

It is a walking distance like 10-12 mins to Gama shopping center, KOMTAR, 1st Avenue and Prangin Mall. The durian stall is just nearby the hotel near the main road. There is an open concept chinese hawker stalls which operates after 5pm till 11pm. And surrounded by Chinese restaurant. (Probably it suits to those Non Muslim hotel guest or the non halal food consumer.) The hotel swimming pool located at L3 is only suitable for kids. It is just a small pool, water height is around 1.5m. The setback is that, the management should re think about the comfortability of the guest while in the room as well. The water pressure in the shower and the water tap in the toilet, is very weak. I believe the the management instruct the maintenance to reduce the water pressure to save water. This cause a bit discomfort for the guest like myself whom enjoy strong water pressure while taking a shower.

We stayed here for 2 weeks rooms are nicely renovated and hotel is very conveinient situated for shopping and dining out. We did not use public transport because the hotel was central to most places and we just got a Grab and on average we spent 7 ringhit to get to 90 percent of the places we visited, Breakfast a bit ordinary and pool while it was never crowded a bit on the smallish side and very limited seating they can put more seating and should. plus getting out of the pool for the elderly could be a little difficult as there are no proper steps in place but we managed On the whole great place and I would go back.
