The room was spotless and well appointed. There is a local hawker centre about 400 meters away which we walked to for dinner. The bus stops were very handy and only 2MR to George Town. Zeus coffee was 5 mins across the road which my coffee enthusiastic enjoyed for price and quality.

Great location. We did have a big room to begin with but found quite a few ants so was moved to another block in a much smaller room - not much of an issue as the room was lovely with comfortable bedding. Great location to explore.
