What recent reviews say

Guests praise the location near Padang Besar and reasonable rates, with some finding the decor pleasant when clean. Recent stays report dirty toilets, stained bedding, mismatched photos, and noise from mechanical systems; older reviews raise safety concerns about a converted shophouse with high stairs and no emergency exit.

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