Kriskkumar 9/10

Malaysia 🇲🇾

Overall, fantastic stay. Would highly recommend it. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming

Pros: Fantastic service from the get-go. We had a welcome drink and the staff showed us to our room. In addition, we were also offered a drink at the bar (of our choice). Facilities in the room is great as well! Breakfast was delicious as well. Good location! Not many rooms here, so it feels a bit more tranquil.

Cons: The pillows had a musty odor, likely because they weren't dried properly after laundering. Could have asked the staff to change it, but was too late and didn't feel like dealing with it. Toilet seat doesn't come with a bidet. Some plugs were difficult to use because of its positioning (especially if you have a big charging brick)

Pros: Staff was very friendly and hospitable. Special thanks to Lynn, manager of the Coffee Place, who was exceptional and very attentive to our needs and requests. Great place for latte! The whole mansion was delightfully fragrant and beautifully decorated.

Cons: Quality of cocktails could be better.

Luxuriöse Unterkunft im Kolonialstil mit perfekter Ausstattung und bestem Service.

Pros: Ausgesprochen freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr gut gestaltetes, großes Zimmer. Sehr geschmackvoll designet und eingerichtet. Komfortables Bad, durch Glaswände in 3 Abschnitte aufgeteilt und durch el. betriebenen Vorhang vom Schlafbereich abgetrennt. Kostenlose Getränke. Perfektes opulentes Frühstück. Das Äußere des Herrenhauses ist hervorragend erhalten und gepflegt: Stil 1808!

Cons: Der Pool ist ,von der Strasse und vom Parkplatz aus,einzusehen. Das Becken ist zu flach, reicht gerade mal bei korrektem Schwimmen um nicht auf dem Boden Anzustoßen. Außerdem ist er nur durch den Haupteingang über die Zufahrt und den Wendeplatz zu erreichen. Wir haben ihn nur einmal benutzt und niemanden je dort gesehen.
