The rooms are big, but rundown. The interior is circa 30 years old, just the carpet, the bathroom and the TV are newer. But it was clean and the breakfast was good. Due to the condition, it is more a 3 star hotel than a 4 star house. And for the same price you can book a luxury apartment on AirBnB with a useful concierge. The reason why I give one star, is the taxi scam at the end of my stay. I asked the concierge to call me a taxi. An dirty ugly man with a scrappy car (fits the hotel) took care of me and after waiting a while he came around and asked for 60 ringgit (normal price with a much better budget taxi was 8 ringgit, with a premium taxi 16 ringgit). I refused to drive with him and saw a licensed taxi just some meters behind him, but there was no possibility to ask the driver. The ugly man scared him away and called a friend. His friend with a bus arrived some minutes later, just 40 ringgit for a whole bus. I accepted the ridiculous price just to escape the ugly man.
