United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Historic building vibe was great.

Pros: Location. The decor and artworks. Decent checkout time. There was a lift to all floors.

Cons: Rooms weren’t serviced every day. Normally I don’t mind this, but there just wasn’t enough of anything for 3 days. Only two towels (thin), two each of tea bags and coffee. Toilet roll ran out on third morning ( the box of tissues filled the gap).

Pros: The hotel was beautiful! the room was exactly as it shows in the pictures. The bed was big and comfy, the bathroom and bath was great, clean as well. The staff and people around was always friendly. The breakfast was delicious. The location is near all the good spots of George town, you can get there walking easily. We loved our stay here, we'd love to come back someday again!

Huge room in an amazing location. Family was very comfortable and easy to explore local area.

Pros: Very happy with room, location and buffet breakfast.

Cons: I hoped the gym would be more modern and with more equipment. Buffet breakfast could get a bit repetitive if you are staying for any length of time. Staff had limited knowledge of local attractions and were unable to offer their personal views on things families would like to see and do. Some personal recommendations would have been welcomed. I good tourist bump of Georgetown much needed, things like night market locations.

Pros: Beautiful hotel with antique Chinese furnishings and decor, this gave the hotel a distinct character which reflects the history of the city. It was very clean and the room was huge, and staff were very helpful. Great location to walk or take a short taxi to many of the main tourist destinations.

Cons: It had very poor wifi signal
