Great location at Gaya Street with night market & morning market selling many interesting foodstuffs and wares. Convenient as many dining shops nearby with Chinese, Malay & Western food easily available. Hotel is clean & eco-friendly with hospitable staff. Will definitely stay here again.
Strategically located in the city centre, you get a contemporary-themed room - spacious, clean, and well equipped. A restobar serving great food just across the street and numerous other famous food stalls within minutes’ walk. Almost perfect!
They say first impressions last. When I first entered the building, I was already welcomed by a nice smelling stairs going up to the lobby which I can say is very welcoming. They have a unique elevator, too! All the staff share a very friendly smile. The bed is clean and comfortable. They also have comfy slippers. Lastly, the hostel is nearby to many shops, restaurants and market.
Everything is good, need to expect Fri and Sat would be noisy due to api api night market, busker sing till 10pm. Just didn't expect renovation carry out in midnight past 1am, dont have much sleep to catch early flight in morning.
