Reviews and Ratings
This place feels more like a hostel than a hotel. While the price is a bit steep at 232 RM for a family room, the location is very convenient as it’s right across from the Island Hospital. However, with minimal amenities such as only soap and a towel, I think a better three-star hotel can be found for the same price.
