The whole hotel was just so lovely, from the large room to the amenities and the bar and restaurarestaurant srestaurarestaurant
An absolutely fantastic hotel. We stayed in the heritage wing and found the staff wonderful, the food delicious and the room kept clean and tidy. We will be returning to this gem.
Room okay with everything we needed, we felt breakfast was just okay too. In relation to the staff we found them rude and very matter of fact!! I wouldn't stay again
The hotel is beautiful and the room is spacious and well decorated. The staff is friendly and attentive. I also tried the spa facilities and the message was excellent.

Great hotel, perfect situated just outside old town in Georgetown. Only backside is the very few sunbeds at the pool, annoying. Breakfast good, not fantastic. Rooms on the otherside es really great! And great service. Gym ok but quite small. On the Whole a good hotel that for sure can be recommended.
Always love to stay in this hotel. The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcome your stay. Enjoyed the Breakfast buffet at Sarkies esp roti canai, char kyaw tiau, and the juices.
