"Walking distance to old George Town. Also very close to high street malls. Breakfast amenities were good with a wide selection. Had dinner one night due to late arrival and this was fine also. Cleaning staff were prompt and efficient. The hotel is also easily accessible to the hills and the Temples by Grab taxi. Would recommend for sure. If there was one downside was that the pillows were too hard. Would recommend one soft pillow and one hard pillow."
