Generally the place was so-so. The staff at the reception was grumpy when we checked in.

The good thing about it is that it was right next to the eating area along McCalister road, so it was convenient to eat

Good location with food around

No widows. When I sleep on the pillow I smelled stale smoker's odour coming out from the pillow.
Good location where many types of food are available just next door.
Friendly and helpful front desk guy.

Room was rather small and had no window. Hard to move around. There was no bench or platform to put our two baggage. My Wife put her baggage on the single chair provided. I put mine on the floor. Imagine the discomfort I endured squatting down opening and closing my baggage. I am s senior citizen at 70.

Stay in 118 Hotel Macalister

Surprised the room has no fridge. Staying at the 1st floor is noisy as the room was facing the city road. Overall, stay is ok.

Budget hotel in Penang

Hotel was very well located being surrounded by restaurants and foodstalls. Quiteclose to Komtar. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel itself was quite basic but clean and well serviced, Included a kettle with coffee making facilities. TV channels were limited and mainly in local languages.

Budget hotel with clean room

The place is strategic to KOMTAR & 1st Avenue, however it kinda far to the tourist spot at Georgetown
Furthermore, there doesn't provide free parking, therefore, getting a parking is quite tough.
Overall is a good stay.

Nice budget hotel near food

My room is triple with a double and single bed. Overall the size of the room is decent, with some walking space, ideal for resting at night. May nt be able to contain larger suitcases.
The facilities are basic, with one shower/shampoo dispenser. Toothbrush n toothpaste nt provided. So if you are particular abt toiletries, do bring ur own. Limited hangers for clothing and they are secured to the shelf.

Note that there are no shelf in the shower area to put toiletries. There is a metal shelf outside the shower area for u to hang clothing/towel.

Only one roll of toilet roll provided per day.

House keeping service is only available when requested by putting the sign outside the door.
The receptionist will remind when checking in.

Complimentary bottled water and coffee packets are given.

One down side is aircon is leaking. Management may want to fix it.

Also there are no safe provided.
There is only one room access card issued.

The hotel is in good location that only thing I like. I can't believe the hotel didn't provide phone to call out or front desk. No refrigerator in our Luxury family suit room and the worst thing u can hear the noise from outside and next room in hotel. It cost 200 ringgit a night for luxury family suit that is unworthy.

Room 401 is very very small for a family of 4. Hardly any room to walk after we put our luggage. It would be good if they could put more hooks in the wc so that we can hand our clothes and provide more hangers.
