"Very good nice "

The Granite Luxury Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay! The rooms were spotless and the air conditioning worked perfectly. It was very convenient having the gym and pool on the same floor. The location is excellent. A special thanks to the staff for being so helpful-they even arranged our transportation to Ipoh upon request. Highly recommended and will definitely book again"

Areca Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has a wonderful antique feeling to it from the entrance, the main areas, and the rooms. The single and the duplex rooms were equally spacious which was very appreciated. The staff is also 24/7 and so helpful when checking in and out. There was also complimentary tea time from 2-5 each day my family was there."
