good comfortable and friendly

An enjoyable stay. The reception staff are very helpful and I feel I must also make a positive mention of the housekeeping. the breakfast had a good spread and the hotel is handy for lots of eating places. The hotel evening buffet is very good value.

Veloittavat ylimääräisiä kuluja,huoneluokka väärin ja kun huone vaihdettiin oikeaan luokkaan,saatiin tilalle todella paljon vanhempi ja kulahtaneempi huone. Huonesiivous piti joka kerta soittaa erikseen paikalle kun ei neljään mennessä iltapäivällä oltu käyty yhtenäkään päivänä. Ei käsipyyhkeitä,jotka luulisi olevan automaattisesti jopa yhden tähden hotellissa.

short overnight stay.

Lagila lounge was advertised with special drink promotion and we were looking forward to have a drnk and relax. At 1130pm it was apparently closed and there were no staff there. Place was dark and empty. No wonder the hotel cannot generate revenue! When it was the Sheraton, it was lively and it had atmosphere and vibrancy. The room was very comfortable and clean. Hotel is very calm and quiet.

Disappointed believeIng this is a 4 star hotel, but this hotel will qualify for 2 stars Or less due to the toilet and bathroom conditions. We have booked 2 rooms but have to change rooms due to the cleanness of the bedsheets in both rooms. Although we were given connecting room in a different floors toilets and bathrooms in all rooms are very bad due to its age. The room we stayed for remaining 4 nights has cracked vanity top, water leaking on the floor through the cracks I believe management is well aware of the conditions of the rooms, and ignoring. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone unless the major renovation is done. I do have pictures and videos of the rooms. We wasted over 2,500 RM for 2 rooms. Keep the cool and to enjoy our 5 days holiday in Penang we decided to continue to stay here. Keep away from this hotel!!

Excellent hôtel ! Seuls petits bémols : la piscine était un grand jacuzzi, oû des enfants se baignant tout habillés (religion oblige) occupaient les lieux en permanence. L'hôtel était un peu excentré, mais je l'avais choisi pour sa piscine, sans pouvoir en profiter. Un immense food court et un centre commercial tout près.

OK, men ...

Ett stort hotell med tydlig inriktning på lokala resenärer. Vi var i stort sett de enda europeiska gästerna. Frukosten var därefter - första hotellet som inte ens har ost på frukostbuffén! Rummet ok men varför jättetjocka madrasser när det känns som att ligga på en planka? Sängarna i Sydostasien är visserligen oftast hårda men dessa tar priset.

Likes: The location was good as it was close to many eateries and tourist sites. The hotel's dinner buffet was very good but the lunch buffet was disappointing. The pool area was quite good. Reception & dining staff were pleasant. Dislikes: The whole hotel needs major refurbishing. Bathroom tiles were full of mold, bath tub chipped in many places. Only 1 hand towel was provided when we asked for 2, it was taken away the next day and not replaced. Cleaning staff need more training. Sink in bathroom badly situated therefore water leaked onto floor which made it slippery and dangerous. We asked for it to be fixed twice but was never resolved. The cleaning staff instead put a floor towel to cover up the puddles. Bed was hard and pillows harder. Towels were paper thin.

Very poor maintenance, especially the bathroom. Shower curtain dirty, walls need fresh coats of paint, bathroom tiles need to be cleaned, esp in between the tiles; black stains. Tap head to change water flow from shower to bathtub & vice versa not working. Room carpets don't appear clean & room feels gloomy. Overall room was depressing!
