  Budget Hotel in need of MAJOR Improvement

  14 Oct 2019

  Upon entering the room, I was immediately greeted with a strange odour. The first thing that dawned on me was that I had picked a hotel that truly screamed BUDGET in almost every sense. The Superior Room, despite being 'superior' was small enough, yet not unlike the size of hotel rooms commonly found in Japan. I was fine with this, but from my experience every hotel room in Malaysia at this price range has been an improvement in this respect. There was no covered wardrobe, but I was fine with this. It was somewhat unusual for me to find a manhole smack in the middle of the room.A folding door with what I thought were loud flowery patterns leads into the bathroom. The floor tiles were also an acquired taste. Inside, the sink albeit being small was functional enough, but the pipes below were visibly showing brownish stains.The bed looked comfortable enough and seemed like a redeeming feature. But as I lay down, I was shocked to find a cockroach hiding under the pillows. After killing it, I asked the hotel staff to change the pillows for me which to their credit, they did with minimal fuss.All was well until the next morning, when I found…yet ANOTHER cockroach scurrying about in my room. I wonder how many more were hiding in the room?!The next morning, my business associate who spent the night in a separate room informed me that her bathroom had a leaky sink which reeked of a foul odour while another colleague had a blocked manhole in the bathroom.At this price range in Malaysia, I would not come back to Apple 1. Actually, I wouldn’t come back. Period.

  Strategic location near Shopping Mall (Queensbay Mall)

  19 Aug 2019

  Strategic location near Shopping Mall (Queensbay Mall)The standard room is clean but very small without window with air conditioner, hot shower a desk and small chair too! it is very good value for money, especially if you just need a room to night sleep and shower! But was still very reasonable. Please don't complain that rooms are too small, because otherwise you are welcome to pay more and stay in 3-4 star. I would definitely recommend it only for 1-2 nights stay in Penang, especially if you are on budget. :D

  average place with limited services.

  22 Sept 2018

  anything u want (e.g: replace dirty towel , request for mineral water and so on) must be done by office hours. otherwise might end up - " the staff went back ady, you need to come back in the morning" ....haish --really troublesome. the rooms are really small. kinda smelly and cockroaches welcomed us. towels are dirty.parking with flat rate -(u must get Hotel to endorsed ur parking ticket) if not, u would end up paying few rm10 notes per day. remember to bring extra cash , in order you wanted to borrow hair dryer , water boiler kettle (RM50 deposit for each). rooms and bathrooms are partitioned using wood i think.... so u can hear your neighbor's shouting or discussions. do not push room walls or bathroom walls... u will end up break in to your neighbors' rooms... haha...

  Dont stay there unless you have no place to stay

  23 Aug 2017

  Since it is closer to Queensbay and we made the mistake to stay there . The room is terribly small like a match box , the toilet is just a cut away from the headboard and is so narrow that if you are big there is a chance you cannot turn around . There is no window in the room and its dark if no light . Its noisy from people outside . There is not much a lobby but you can sit on the curb outside . For luggage storage there is none , just sit at the lobby door where it is insecuried and anyone can frag it away . You find better hotel elsewhere with the money spent , its even worth riding bus to town than stay here
