Considering there’s more and more institutions, industries and factories here in Batu Kawan, The Upper House served as the only hotel currently at this area, so definitely suitable to those might coming here for business/work trip. Or even for people who just want to get a rest place and explore the mainland of Penang like me. They have room catered for solo traveller and it is very spacious for one person like me. Big and comfortable bed with smart TV in the front. There’s work desk beside as well. Lots of plugs and USB chargers in the room, with amenities like safe, small fridge, dryer and water basin. There’s also space to keep your big luggage under the bed. The toilet and bathroom are combined together, so it is total spacious inside. The heater however can reach warm only at the maximum for my room. Unlike most hotel with carpet flooring which is soft when your foot step on it, here like stepping on concrete and unpleasant for me. I would recommend you to prepare additional sock to wear. The air conditioning in the room is not quiet enough for me when sleeping, as it will produce sound even I have set it lower. But the cold temperature is good for me. Although the location is located conveniently in this new township, there’s not a lot of eating places around here, unless you go to Design Village or IKEA. Also it is very hard to walk around here. The commercial area in front of the hotel was a consider a ghost town, but hopefully it will get better in future; since this is a very new area. If you are staying here, do remember to check out their swimming pool at the rooftop as well.
Excellent
