My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The room was old and dirty, with leaking pipes and a generally unkempt state. While it was budget-friendly, I can't recommend it due to the poor conditions and unpleasant experience with the staff. I experienced issues with the Wi-Fi and an unfriendly manager who seemed indifferent to our concerns.

I really enjoyed my stay at this budget hotel! The price was fantastic for what I got: air conditioning, my own bathroom, and even a TV with great channels for just 55 MYR. The owner, Peter, is incredibly helpful and knows the area well. The location is perfect, right in the center with an amazing food market across the street. However, there is a bit of a smell from a nearby dried fish store, which some might find off-putting.

The hotel is conveniently located right near the waterfront, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms are basic but clean and offer essential amenities. I appreciated the manager's friendly hospitality, but the smell from the nearby fish market can be quite off-putting, especially in the morning. Overall, it’s decent value for money, but be prepared for a few downsides.
