Everyone who works in that hotel, from the reception to the kitchen and housekeeping is super nice! The rooms were very comfy and clean. The hotel is easy walking distance from the main sights in George Town and they are helpful getting you reliable taxis to go anywhere outside of town. The property has a lot of character, which I appreciated. Highly recommended!

Lovely heritage hotel in Georgetown. It’s about 10 mins walk from the Armenian street area and lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Rooms are a decent size and amenities. It doesn’t have a lift, so beware if you have access issues. Breakfast is fine. Staff are super friendly and lovely. Other reviews mentioned the noise, we had rooms overlooking the pool on the 1st floor (not ground) and these were quiet enough. Other people mentioned the lack of pavements but I think this is Georgetown as a whole.

This is a very good hotel well located in the heart of Georgetown, close to all the sites. We did not find it noisy as some have commented. It is a heritage property which has its great charms and also some limitations. The rooms are comfortable with air-conditioning, but quite small. There is a very welcome pool. And the restaurant provides a decent breakfast. There are not many places to sit together as a family in the evenings, as the pool area is locked at 7pm.
