A 31-room minimalist boutique hotel on Gaya Street from about RM139 a night — small, quiet, no breakfast or pool, and the jetty and Sunday market on foot. The design-minded budget pick for the old town.
Checked against the hotel's own information and cross-referenced listings. Last checked August 2026.
