At the beginning of check in, I got a room on the 3rd floor, when I opened it, it turned out that the room had been used by someone else and had not been tidied up again.
Then the receptionist moved me to a room on the 1st floor, the room was more spacious, but the floor was dirty as if it had not been swept, there was only 1 lamp so it was not bright enough.
The bathroom was clean, only they didn't provide a toothbrush and no mineral water.
Hopefully in the future more attention will be paid to the cleanliness of the room.
Oh yes, in the room there is a direction of the Qibla and prayer mats and mukena for Muslims.

The location is the only thing that wins, it's close to everywhere. There's no elevator and no one helps carry big suitcases.

Khách sạn hơi cũ và hơi tối do đèn, hầu như các phòng đều được cho thuê lưu trú dàu hạn. Địa điểm nằm ở khu dễ dàng di chuyển tới những địa điểm tham quan khác. Giá cả cũng hợp lí.

This hotel is strategically located within the City Center of Georgetown and walking distance to Esplanade, Padang Kota Lama. Bed was comfy and will definitely come back again!

Good enough for those who just stay overnight. The air-con not cold enough. Old towel should be changed to the new one to maintain the cleanliness. Water heater, hair dryer and garbage bag should be put in every hotel room especially for the Family Room. WiFi not strong enough.

Cheapest hotel near the Esplanade, 3D House, can walk around it as difficult to get parking.
