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.
