Worst staff
The rooms are too small. The staff are very rude and they dont want to communicate or give feedback. They are the worst.

Always a great location to stay in Penang. Convenient location that's between the George Town and industrial area. Plenty to eat around the area and short drive to Queensbay Mall.
