The rooms are simple yet comfortable, providing all the essentials you need after a tiring day at the theme park. The air conditioning works exceptionally well, keeping the room refreshingly cool, even in Penang’s warm climate.

Hospitality

The owners are very welcoming and attentive, making the stay pleasant. They were always ready to assist with any inquiries or needs, adding a personal touch to the experience.

Laundry facilities are conveniently located downstairs, which is a huge plus for travelers on extended trips. Being able to do laundry without leaving the premises adds to the overall convenience.

Overall, this budget hotel is a great choice for travelers looking for a clean, comfortable, and safe place to stay near Escape theme park.

While it may lack the frills of a luxury accommodation, it makes up for it with its affordability, friendly service, and practical amenities.

Came for a short vacation and was looking for a hotel near Batu Ferringhi Beach.
