Review on Premium Deluxe Condo @ Penang

For my trip it's just 7 of us (4 girls 3 guys), so we look for homestay from Airbnb (homestay cheaper maaa). Then we found this place called Premium Deluxe Condo @ Penang.

Location: Times Square,Georgetown. Next to McDonald.
Rooms: 1 Master bedroom (Queen sized bed) and 1 bedroom (2 Single bed with 2 additional pull-out bed).

Just a photo of the Queen sized bed, ignore me please T^T

Extra Information:

• Air-cond provided in living room and both bedrooms
• 1 free parking lot
• laundry room (we did our laundry there lol).
• 2 washrooms (one with bathtub)

Price: around RM579 for 2 nights, deposit is not included (RM300++ if I'm not mistaken), so divided by 7 of us it's just RM82.70 (its quite cheap actually).


ADVANTAGES:

1. Location, it's very near to most of the famous restaurants and museums in Penang Island (Georgetown maarrr), this is the main reason we choose this homestay, obviously. Since we're soooooooo lazy to look for places to eat, a large number of stalls present within walking distance is HEAVEN FOR US :D

 The night we walked to a steamboat restaurant for dinner. Yay!

2. Also, the apartment is very very very nice. It's not like Nyonya or traditional Penang style or nice nice hotel room style or with whatever theme), but it actually has a home-sweet-home feels, and of course clean and tidy and comfy :D. However, the fragrance candles (not sure if it's FOC lol) seems to be collecting dusts, that doesn't harm tho, it's okay :3

This is the Penang Nyonya style house, I wanna stay in these kind of homestay/hotel the next time!

3. The apartment is actually quite high class, they even provide swimming pool and gym for the residents. SWIMMING POOLLLL ME LOVE ME LOVE. Erm, they actually have a few more facilities but we did not get a chance to try those so you can just check it out by yourself from the link above.

Yes, we went to swim :D 

Despite the slide that doesn't work (at night), it's nice and big and fun!

PS: The swimming pool close after 10 (if I'm not mistaken)

4. Hi-fi. Nothing much, just feel pro. We used our pendrive to play songs, so I guess you can connect your phone by USB cable too. 

5. Towel provided. It's very useful because we use it when we went to swim

6. Convenience stores, to buy beers. There is one located near the lobby while another in the shopping mall just outside the entrance to the apartments.



PROBLEMS: 

1. No Wi-fi in the homestay, but they have a Wi-fi room in the lobby (we tried, but meh). It's not really a big deal for me tho, since we have our own phone data, but I can imagine the inconvenience for foreigners larrr. 

2. The residential parking can seriously make you speechless. We have to drive at least 20 turns to reach the free parking lot. We thought some ghost put a curse on us the way down seems to be never-ending during our first descend. (鬼打墙 有木有!!)

3. There's nothing much to watch on TV as there are limited channels. They don't have Astro On demand and Wah Lai Toi, emo :( Well, it's just a temporary residency, can't say much, and we had fun in the apartment without TV tho. #pokercardsrock

*Don't worry guys, those are just minor problems, the apartment is still good ^^
