What recent reviews say

Families appreciate the clean, spacious rooms and responsive host, but lifts are chronically slow (20+ minute waits reported) and shower plumbing needs fixes. Pool gets heavy use and maintenance suffers for it.

  • clean rooms
  • spacious
  • good for families
  • pool amenities
  • responsive host
Watch-outs
  • slow lifts, long waits
  • poor shower setup
  • dirty pool
  • parking far from units

Best for: families needing space and a pool in Penang
Think twice if: you have a high floor or are in a hurry; elevator waits exceed 15 minutes regularly.

Strengths

  • spacious rooms, often upsized
  • responsive host
  • swimming pool
  • family-friendly

Worth knowing

  • Host upgrades rooms beyond booking (4-person booking given 7-capacity room)
  • 40-floor building with only 4 lifts, 2 often in maintenance
  • parking often floors away from assigned unit (24th floor, 8th floor parking)
  • rain showerheads positioned poorly, requires manual repositioning
  • pool heavily used and maintenance quality varies
