The room is okay for just sleeping. It's just that the toilet outside is not very clean. The only plus is that it is in the city center.

The hotel is very well located in the centre of Georgetown, and the price is affordable. The staff was unavailable most of the times. We even needed to buy towels outside since no staff available. The air con was not cool enough. We asked for another room, and the staff couldn't help.

Pelayan sangat ramah, nyaman tinggal di sini, untuk ruang kamar sederhana dan versi rumah tua gitu karena masih banyak dinding yang menggunakan papan. AC kurang dingin, ditambah kipas angin, nanti yang tidak bisa tidur dengan AC jadi perlu di perhatikan ya hahahah.

As far as I stay there it is safe, indeed an old building, as the name implies. for complete facilities, there is air conditioning, fan, toiletress, towels, blankets. But there is a deposit of 50 rm (yesterday because of low cash, I negotiated with the rupiah of 200 thousand), (Allowed hehe) and tax 10Rm in addition. But worth it according to price. the location is close to komtar, so delicious everywhere there are free paint buses and gamma gama supermarkets that are cheap for buying souvenirs, there is a top komtar also if you want to see the penang from a height, cheap eating places are also close. Try various kinds of breakfast with Indian bread.
