늦은밤 도착해서 잠깐 잠만 자려고 예약했는데 나름 괜찮았어요.공항근처 호텔들중에 청결상태가 안좋다하고 벌레나오고 늦은밤 체크인하기 다소 불편한거 같더라구요.그래서 이곳으로 결정.시설은 오래 됐지만 벌레없고 침구류 깨끗했어요.가격대비 만족이에요.

便利なロケーション

ガヤストリート、スリアサバ、ボート乗り場が徒歩圏内、コンビニも至近距離で、すごく便利！その分車通りも多いので、外の音は聞こえます。廊下の音も聞こえます。シービューは建物の間から見える感じ（シービュー重要視していないので全然問題ない）。Wi-fiは使えますがそんなに強くはないです。 立地と値段を考えたら大満足です！！！

Great location, friendly staff, fantastic Italian restaurant on the ground floor (which I assumed was part of the hotel, but apparently it isn't). Frustratingly, they ask for a deposit in cash when you check in - even though you've paid for the room in full in advance! I didn't have enough cash on me and refused to go to an ATM to get out only the cash needed for the deposit to stay here for 1 night, as I was leaving Malaysia the next morning and wouldn't need that cash so it would be a waste. After a while, the lady on reception agreed to take the only cash I had left - which wasn't the full deposit amount, but I appreciated her being accommodating and realistic.

スタッフに道を尋ねたが、あまり知らない様子で、徒歩3分の距離をgrabを使えと言われた。 結局、自力で解決した。 無愛想なスタッフもいるし、親切なスタッフもいたが、特に問題なし。 ガヤ通りから徒歩3分でとても便利だし、カラフルな建物なので目印になって迷う事が無かった。 スリア・サバや、フェリー・ターミナルも徒歩圏内で、思う存分観光を楽しめた。
