What recent reviews say

Guests consistently report clean, comfortable rooms at a fair price in a well-located spot near Kek Lok Si and Penang Hill. The owner Michelle and staff respond quickly to queries and requests, including late arrivals. One reviewer noted a water heater issue; another mentioned basic items like toothbrush and mineral water are not included.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Many guests report unresponsiveness after booking and poor room condition. This place offers budget pricing and fast WhatsApp replies during check-in, but reviewers consistently cite cramped rooms, limited amenities, and lack of a physical reception desk as drawbacks.

Guests consistently praise the clean, peaceful rooms and genuinely helpful staff who respond quickly to questions. The main draw is affordability paired with proximity to Air Itam market and temples, though some note rooms are tighter than listing photos suggest and lack climate control.
