Bathroom was super cute with clean white tiles, hallway was clean, amenities worked well, room was simple but perfect for me, privacy and security was good. Neighbourhood was quiet, with old buildings and cats and a couple of curious, friendly dogs.

    Navigating the city was a breeze from Pelangi Homestay. Public transportation Grab options were conveniently accessible, and the staff was more than willing to provide helpful tips on getting around. Whether by foot or public transport, getting to popular landmarks was quick and straightforward. This pricing is consider good and value for money The comfortable beds provided a rejuvenating night's sleep after a day of exploring the city
