Netherlands 🇳🇱

Overall, it was a very pleasant stay!

Pros: We really appreciated that the hotel has preserved its traditional cultural style. The environment is clean and well maintained, and the beds are very comfortable. The sea view from the balcony is simply exciting and refreshing. especially Mr. Nicholas, who left a very positive impression on us. The breakfast offers a wide and plentiful variety of choices, making this a truly wonderful place to stay for a relaxing holiday. The front desk service was excellent, Overall, it was a very pleasant stay! ✨

Cons: However, the service from the staff at the Western restaurant downstairs could still be improved.

Absolutely Superb!

Pros: Absolute luxury! Such an incredible hotel, so elegant, with everything and more that you would want for such a top class hotel. Staff were very accommodating and breakfast was absolutely top notch - including the English afternoon tea! Our room overlooked the sea and was incredibly large and very well equipped. Overall a superb stay!

Cons: Very expensive drinks in the bar

Lars 8/10

Germany 🇩🇪

Best stay in Georgetown, average in ASEAN

Pros: Still the place to stay (Heritage Wing) if you like Heritage, spacioys room, lush gardens, sweeping sea views and proximity to the Georgetown heritage area. Two pools and multiple restaurants provided - mostly in keep with the Heritage theme.

Cons: While its a grand dane of hospitality and likely the best in Georgetown, its not on par with other ASEAN luxury heritage properties of the same league (though room prices are). Service - provided inconsistently and simple requests feel like a burden asked Rokms - Fixtures and Fittings could easily be brought into 21st century without breaking the heritage look and feel.
