Stylish , modern and comfortable. The room is clean , the design feels fresh and the staff were friendly. Loved the rooftop pool and the views from the gravity bar . Great location close to malls, eateries and tourist spots. For me this hotel is perfect for business trips and work travel not really a resort style place.

Check in was nice and smooth and they actually give our ice cream, as you wait for that one minute of checking in. which is a Very good idea as the weather is hot outside. The concierge was great too, soon as our cab arrives they come and help with our luggage then delivered to our room. That was a great help. Room was nice and clear give a feeling of welcome. The fridge in the room have a sticker telling one that the drinks is on the house, lot of hotel don't have that. If one needs to choose a hotel in Penang this is one of the hotel I strongly recommend.

Right next to the gurney plaza which was very convenient. Staff are super friendly. Only downside is the location is far from all sightseeing areas if you want to walk everywhere. However driving distance is not bad.
