Room good, but too many problems

The room itself was fine. Large, and with views over the city. But ... The shower was only lukewarm. The TV had only 5 channels, none were English language. The fridge was wired into the same circuit as the lights, so it turned off when I removed the key to leave the room. When I returned at the end of the day, all the stuff in the fridge was warm, and also sitting in a pool of water because the icebox had defrosted. The aircon turned itself off every few hours for no apparent reason, requiring a manual reset.

Good value

Very correct, everything ok, it's not luxury but a casual hotel which needs may be some refreshment a bit outdate. I would suggest to choose a room facing the harbour and the sea, opposite the main entrance because on the other side you will hear the sound boom boom boom, infra bass from the nightclub across the street 'till 2 am at least. I was there during the week so I can't say for the we.

It is one of the oldest hotel but the bathroom and room flooring are well done. TV set only limited to 2 channels as the rest of channels are mute and very poor quality transmission etc. Limited amenities on a small fridge n 2 bottles of water no boiler for hot water. Cupboard in room very dull n old only did paint works to look new but dusty n dirty.

5-15 mins walk to most things we wanted to check out in Georgetown area. Really good price and in a safe building with 24-hour friendly front desk. Downsides: quite noisy at night cos it’s located in a busy/ lively area; the room is basic with a few issues (broken lightbulbs, very thin towels). You need your own shampoo and shower gel. Overall good value for the money.

Being rated 2 star is seriously overrated!!

Booked and paid (even specially requested) for non smoking floor and given a smoking floor. The receptionist just don't bother about my concern on smoking floor and just mentioned that it's first come first served. The room condition is poor with the bed, toilet, fridge, etc were all darn old. Felt eerie entering the room. The door knob to the room came out and it took a few hours for them to decide to give me another room. I would recommend to top up another 100 for a much better room with better facilities and service.
