Worth the price! the room come with kitchens and all the toiletries you need. The pool is amazing, nice city view.
The only cons is the room soundproof is not that good, I can hear ppl pass by my room and their voice
The sea view from the bedroom and bathroom was absolutely stunning and really captivated me. I also loved the apartment layout. The living room was spacious, and having a large fridge, washing machine, and kitchen was very convenient, even though we didn't use them. The hotel breakfast didn't have a huge variety, but the food was good, and the service was excellent. Right next door there's a mall with a 24-hour convenience store and two spa places. The night market and food stalls are within walking distance, and Gurney Plaza isn't too far either; we walked there both evenings for some shopping.
Okay, it's cheap, but the location is actually quite far from Kampung Agong, even though it says it's only 11km on the booking. It took us 1 hour 40 minutes, almost 2 hours!
Our stay at Citadines Connect was fabulous. It was really quiet yet the location was nice and central (near lots of sights and great food places). We were lucky enough to be in block B which faces another building so there was literally no traffic noise and we barely noticed other travellers because of the insulation between rooms. The bathroom was very clean and serviced daily beautifully. The staff helped us a lot when trying to book our next steps of our journey to Ipoh. Finally, the infinity pool was a dream, particularly because we had it all to ourselves! Nothing quite like listening to the call to prayer while floating in a crystalline pool 4 floors you. This hotel was the best - highly recommended.
Service was good. Staff were quiet, polite, and professional. Location is good. Walkable distance to 2 hawker places, and the bakery Rotilah just opposite the hotel is a must try! And not more than 10 mins to most tourist spots by Grab. Enjoyed the pool and gym, good to work off the calories taken in. Aircon was good, just that the comforter gets a bit hot after a while. The free coffee and cold water dispenser is a godsend in this brutal weather.
This loft in the city center is relatively decent. It's perfectly located for all the attractions. The airport bus stop is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel. There are two large shopping malls nearby. A big thank you to the staff for letting us check in early. The bed linen was soft and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Shampoo and shower gel were provided for free. There's a water cooler (hot/cold) on the floor. The fridge worked great, and there was also a kettle and toaster in the room.
As for the downsides: The cleanliness of the room was so-so – dusty, with a somewhat worn-out renovation, and some noticeable dirt stains in places. The shower only had lukewarm water. There were no face towels. One of the bath towels had a stain. There were ants running around near the fridge, seemingly knowing where the food was, so make sure to put all your food straight into the fridge. I left a biscuit on the table and ants swarmed it. There are no double-glazed windows, and since our room faced the street, we could hear passing cars perfectly. It's tolerable for a night or two, but not for any longer.
I booked a stay at Citadines at the very last minute of my holiday, and it turned out to be a highlight of my trip. I opted for the unit with a separate living room, bedroom, and bathroom—the layout was incredibly spacious and offered plenty of room to move around.
The facilities were top-notch; having an in-room washing machine and microwave made the stay so much more convenient. My only minor gripe was having to request a dental kit (toothbrush/toothpaste) from the front desk myself. If those were already provided in the room, the experience would have been absolutely perfect. Still, a highly recommended spot for anyone seeking comfort and functionality!
This hotel is perfectly situated between the city and the famous beach. Plenty of food options and shopping malls are right around the corner. Downstairs and in the immediate vicinity, there's a fantastic food court, numerous malls, cafes, and restaurants, offering a huge variety of choices. The food court even features vendors selling authentic local delicacies. I highly recommend this hotel, the scenery is beautiful. Enjoy the sunrise with a cup of coffee and savor life.
I'm not usually a fan of guesthouses, as I often find them not much cheaper than hotels, and lacking in infrastructure, security, and overall guest experience.
BUT! The moment I saw the photos of this place, I was instantly drawn in! I debated for a long time, wondering if guesthouses abroad were safe, and if a Chinese owner might try to scam fellow Chinese travelers!
I booked it two months in advance, and I've finally checked in today!
Everything is absolutely amazing! This is hands down the best guesthouse I've ever stayed at. It's like a hidden paradise, the quilts even smell like fresh sunshine, and the owner is fantastic! I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Penang's seaside. It's super great! They're running a giveaway, pick me, pick me!

GGuest UserFound this gem of a place by accident. With many hotels increasing rates during the festive season I managed to book a room here for a price I thought was way below the average for a 3 room unit.
Of course my expectations were not much BUT when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised - what I say a “bang for your buck” - it was near one of the busiest shopping complexes and close to highways which was a breeze until u hit town (obviously). My room even had a sea view.
It’s tucked away outside the busy streets and to me it gave me the extra quietness and calm I needed after a long drive. I hit the pool and tried the gym - not a big gym but “it’s all there”.
This is what I noticed : bus station and airport was in my opinion nearby (no more than a 20min grab ride)
In short you can’t fault this property for the price you’re paying. I will be back! Tq for making the stay memorable.
