The property is located 7.9 km from Straits Quay, 7.9 km from Penang Botanic Gardens and 10 km from Penang Hill. The property is non-smoking and is situated 600 metres from Wonderfood Museum. The common area is so beautiful and inviting. The owner is very friendly and tries everything to make you feel comfortable. Because my bus was delayed, I arrived after check-in time, but it wasn't a problem. The accommodation is located in a quiet street, but still close to everything like restaurants etc. They provide water and tea, and the kitchen is well equipped in case you want to cook... I shared a room with one other girl, and we had plenty of space for our stuff. The AC is running well!
