I found the hotel to be just what I needed: simple, tidy rooms with small ensuite walk-in bathrooms. The extra bed made the room a bit tight, but it was still adequate. The cost for a day's stay was RM100 nett.

The hotel is located right in the midst of the historic district, making it convenient to explore the area, but could use a bit of refurbishment. The rooms, especially the heritage ones, offer fine accommodation with more spacious toilets and comfortable beds. The dining options are limited, which can be a letdown, but the service is friendly and quick to assist with any requests.
