6.2/10

The hotel is strategically located facing Selat, the clock tower, Dataran, Padang Sri Gelam, and more, making it convenient to access various attractions. The rooms, while a bit old, offer a nice view but may have maintenance issues like non-closing toilet doors. The service could be improved as there were instances of unfriendliness and unprofessional behavior despite some essential services being available. On the positive side, the location is peaceful, near essential amenities, and close to popular spots like the JDT training center and fast-food options.
