The hotel had amazing rooms, a huge space with a comfortable bed, loads of seating, and a beautiful bathroom with a jacuzzi bath in Georgetown. The service from the staff was excellent, very polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, especially Grace. The location is in a quiet street on the edge of the Georgetown tourist bustle but still within walking distance to everything. The dining experience could have been more fabulous, although the breakfast was good and delicious. The facilities were great.

The hotel is located in a fairly quiet area, but within a 10-15 minute walk to the old town restaurants. The service was top-notch with friendly and attentive staff. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, although there were no food options available during the day. The rooms, unfortunately, had a smelly and dusty atmosphere, with sightings of cockroaches, despite being spacious.

The hotel's location in Georgetown was advantageous, being close to major sights and a short walk from the heritage old town. Despite the walking distance to attractions, Grab taxis made it easier to navigate the area during the hot weather.

The dining experience, although appreciated as a complimentary service, had limited options and a late breakfast start time at 8 am, which could be inconvenient for early risers. The staff was generally friendly, but there was room for improvement in the drink service.

The service is top-notch, very friendly, and welcoming, providing detailed directions and valuable advice. The location is excellent, near popular attractions and local eateries, enhancing the overall experience. The dining options are decent but could use more variety to elevate the experience.

The hotel felt like a walk back through time with its curious vintage furniture and rustic rooms, but lacked natural light and had an overpriced feel. The floors creaked badly, and the view of rubbish on a rooftop was disappointing.

Rooms

The rooms, albeit quite small, had a vintage charm with curious furniture. However, the lack of natural light and overpriced feel didn't make for the most comfortable stay. The view of rubbish on the rooftop was off-putting.

The location was a bit off from the heart of George Town but offered an authentic, 'gritty' experience with many food options nearby. It was ideal for walking into the center, despite getting lost a couple of times trying to find the way back.
