Generally the place was so-so. The staff at the reception was grumpy when we checked in. The good thing about it is that it was right next to the eating area along McCalister road, so it was convenient to eat

Good location with food around
No widows. When I sleep on the pillow I smelled stale smoker's odour coming out from the pillow. Good location where many types of food are available just next door. Friendly and helpful front desk guy.

Room was rather small and had no window. Hard to move around. There was no bench or platform to put our two baggage. My Wife put her baggage on the single chair provided. I put mine on the floor. Imagine the discomfort I endured squatting down opening and closing my baggage. I am s senior citizen at 70.

Stay in 118 Hotel Macalister
Surprised the room has no fridge. Staying at the 1st floor is noisy as the room was facing the city road. Overall, stay is ok.

Budget hotel with clean room
The place is strategic to KOMTAR & 1st Avenue, however it kinda far to the tourist spot at Georgetown Furthermore, there doesn't provide free parking, therefore, getting a parking is quite tough. Overall is a good stay.
