Disappointed
There's only 2 bath towels. No bar soap to wash your hands. There's bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. Receptionist said that they would bring extra bath towel, but did not. I had stayed there before covid time and service was much better.

The Laundry promise of same day service printed on their notifications in the room was not fulfilled. It was a false promise and created a wardrobe challenge for me. It is important not to mislead and give PRECISE time and date of delivery. In 45 years of intense global travel this has not happened before. Please instruct Gays Centre Hotel ASAP.

Very close to malls and restaurants. Hotel was clean and cozy. Staff were helpful. No Free parking (charged at RM 15 per day) if you've rented a car. As such 2 less star for the facilities.

Friendly staff. Good wifi. Close to the mall and plenty of eateries around the hotel. Good water pressure and sizeable room. Our request for a sea view room was entertained. One negative point: plenty of China tourists that are noisy, if you're a light sleeper please avoid.
