"Takoyaki" These little round balls of yumminess are light and squishy and filled with different ingredients like cheese, pork, or octopus. Then covered with a sweet soy sauce and mayonnaise and fishy flakes. We ate them with small skewers. These were the appetizers to more delicious delights!!

Staff are friendly. Amenities are adequate. Location of the hotel is good with restaurants and shops nearby. However, bed linen and towels seem "yellowish" which leaves a bad impression.

It’s a good but not great property. Clean with a nice lobby and access to lots of restaurants and shops. I would stay here again, but it’s not my first choice in George Town. My favorite thing about the hotel is that it was washing machines and dryers!
