I stayed at 1st floor, room floor unsecured, old wood floor, can see through below, it also makes sound when we stepped on it, so disturbing coz i bring my baby. Blanket and bedding seems like not clean (might be) but no odor. Room not as in photo, im quite disappointed. No tv remote. Have aircond remote but malfunction. Room door hard to open, stuck to open from outside, inside much easier. Overall, what I paid is not worth what I get

Booked this hotel due to its cheap deal and heritage style... so I am prepared not to have much expectation on it. No lift. So carry your own luggage. Let me introduce some of their rooms: Room G102 Door spoilt, difficult to open and close, ppl can peep through from outside. Fridge with water leaking. Aircon not cold. Room G103 Aircon not cold. Both rooms have no doors to separate sleeping area and toilet/shower. Room G105 better and bigger. But aircon and fan are noisy. Not sure if it's dampness causing the mouldy smell. Those rooms near the reception or those at ground floor are better than those at level 2. But overall, no noise reduction between rooms, no toiletries, no hair dryer, no kettle, no tv signal. Complimentary breakfast are kuehs, toast, diluted coffee, tea bags... decent breakfast so don't compare with those hotel international breakfast buffet. Seen three receptionists (one at a time), not sure their shift will change or fixed. Ard morning to noon (don't seems like a Malaysian): Not so friendly, gets irritated easily. Evening to night (a slimmer middle aged lady): Make an effort to check on the problem. Midnight to morning (a guy): Willing to change the rooms when requested and passed message after his shift. I prefer the lady who prepared breakfast cos she is the friendliest person in this hotel. Try to chit chat with her, at least she will smile back. Location of this hotel is actually not bad... but there are definitely better hotels just a few steps away.

The room was not ready by 2.00pm. No towels were readily placed in room. The attitude of the front office staff was terrible.
