10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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.

The only thing I didn’t like was that there were no windows in the room. The staff were fantastic and we even stayed an extra night. It was so convenient to everything in downtown Penang.

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

Very small room. No where to put luggages. Complementary coffee at the entrance but only with sugar. Location is central. Wifi was ok but not super.
