“The air conditioning worked well, and fresh linens appeared daily, which, combined with the location near the old town and a handy 7/11, makes it a decent budget option. While designated non-smoking, the cigarette smell from the top floor unfortunately drifts, and that is my only real concern. For the price, though, it's a solid base for exploring George Town.”
