Apartments w: Penang, Malaysia

Was looking forward to my stay in Penang but was left disappointed. Imagine entering the toilet wanting to take relief but was greeted by strands of hair floating on the toilet bowl unflushed. How awesome was that, especially knowing that I paid RM 200 + per night. There were 2 rooms in total, with 1 facing the corridor. I was shocked when my room was well lit with lights off at 3 am in the morning. Who, in their correct mind, would install shades with no coverage, knowing damn well that the lights over the corridor are on overnight. To make matters worse, the extra bed in the room was a hindrance to the door. That's the maximum I can open without lifting the edge of the mattress. Did I also inform you that the rooms are not soundproof at all? Noises from the corridor, the living room and even from the other room can be heard clearly. It's definitely a big no no for light sleepers. While this may not be an issue pertaining to the homestay, I would also like to inform that the lifts are always packed, even during weekdays. We have no choice but to take the stairs down 14 floors after a 15-minute wait. So definitely plan well ahead if you have decided to stay here.

Wszystko było w porządku, tylko zameldowanie nastąpiło późno. Trzeba było czekać pół godziny, aż pokój będzie przygotowany. W tym czasie może być szczyt sezonu, bo to święto państwowe, ale to w porządku. Pracownicy płci męskiej (zapomniałem zapytać o imię) byli bardzo przyjaźni i gotowi odpowiedzieć na potrzeby gości podczas zameldowania. Natomiast pracownicy płci żeńskiej (Chiny) również zapomnieli zapytać o imię i nie byli zbyt mili, kiedy byliśmy gotowi się wymeldować i wręczyć kartę. Nie uśmiechnęli się, chociaż przeprosiliśmy za trochę spóźnione oddanie karty, ponieważ i tak wymeldowaliśmy się wcześniej z pokoju. Trochę spóźnili się, żeby zwiedzić basen i poziom 13, żeby zrobić zdjęcia dla rodzinnej pamiątki.

this is my second stay here..will always be my frst choice if i’m in penang..love the hospitality,cleanliness and the strategic place…easy access to the beach and many choices of food nearby..

Location is good. Very close to many eating places. The unit is not big, but got 2 rooms. Balcony is small, most likely just for fresh air. View from room also not bad. However, there is no place to hang clothes in bedroom 2. Fridge is small with small freezer area only. Facilities got small play ground for kids and sky pool. Small but still able to make kids happy.

There is parking space for cars . Location is a bit away from old streets with tourists , which means it is quiet . But you need to take a grab car to Art street for 10 mins , or wait for a bus . Bus stops is nearby behind the building . You can walk to Gurney walk seaside area from hotel . WiFi signal was good. TV has YouTube ,popular apps .

Layout is nice and comfortable. The kids love it. I like the drawers provided under the beds. Initially I was worried about lack of a cabinet for clothes. Water dispenser is very well used by us. Plenty of power sockets near the bed. Swimming pool had a great view. Chlorine taste was crazy strong though. Kids thought the water was salty. Biggest gripe is that this place is too popular. 4 lifts serving the 30+ levels of patrons are not sufficient. During peak periods like meal, arrival or checkout timings, we waited more than 15mins to get into the lift. Overall very pleasant stay.

I stayed on high floor and was able to enjoy a beautiful city view from the room. The room was well-equipped with convenient facilities such as hangers to hang our towels and an LG brand water dispenser where you can choose the temperature you prefer for drinking. Overall, everything was good and comfortable. The only thing worth mentioning is the parking fee. Every day have to go down lobby redeem the parking but the car park still charges RM9 (we stayed 3d2n), which is something guests may want to take note of.

My family and I had a great stay here, though there is room for improvement.  The place looks and feels a bit dated, which adds to the charm, except for when the air conditioning makes loud noises that disrupt the peace. One of the mattresses in our suite was also a little worn, sinking in every time we sit on it. We have to admit that our suite was big and cosy for all of us, with strong WiFi connection and Netflix.  Moreover, the breakfast could be better. We opted for the stay with breakfast included, and we all were served the same Big Breakfast set. It would have been nicer to have options to choose from.  This place has potential and I might consider staying here again.

Rooms are clean but other 2 rooms are a little narrow than master bed room . 1 master bed room and 1double bed room and 2 single bed room with share bath room . Service is good and location is more good.10 minutes from Shopping malls
