An excellent location, close to all that George Town has to offer. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean and very comfortable rooms with all the facilities you might want. And a tasty and varied breakfast offering as well. A great choice.

Quality Hotel with friendly staff. Comfortable bed spacious room. Breakfast buffet had a wide variety of choices and very good food. Would definitely stay here again
4-night trip

6/10

The hotel entrance is quite hidden from the street and it was kind of hard to find. There’s a doorman who opens the door for hotel guests. Since we arrived early, we stored our luggage there so we can go sightseeing in the morning. The room was small but comfortable. The only complaint we have was the lack of bathroom supplies. The shower gel bottle was empty. There were no face towels and no vanity kit. The slippers provided were very flimsy and easily torn. We had to request for the bathroom supplies to be delivered to our room. The buffet breakfast was really good and the service was very efficient. I would choose a different hotel if I were to come back to Georgetown again since there are a lot of hotels to choose from.

8/10

Unfortunately the view from our room was that of a dirty ledge and a huge building blocking everything else. It is a clean facility but quite worn with time. The staff tending the rooms were very friendly and welcoming.

We stayed here for 3 people for 2 nights and it was comfortable. The only thing that bothered us was that there were only enough cups and glasses for 2 people.

Second stay here. Came back for the location and breakfast. Staff are lovely. Would definitely stay again.
9-night trip

8/10

The hotel is very well place for those wishing to explore the city. Little India and Chinatown are fairly close and that's a relief as there are no alcohol sales in the hotel for thirsty guests. This is not mentioned on any site to our knowledge. The rooms are fine, the wifi powerful, and the value is good, But when the place is full, a gloomy secondary dining room is used for breakfast that is huge and warehouse-like, with curtains firmly drawn to hide the dirty windows. Some tidying-up in the entrance (piano) area would make it look like the photo on their website too. It just needs a manager with sharper eyes. The hotel driver, Bala, deserves a medal for fine service.

Enjoyed our stay. Very nice, polite & helpful and accommodating staff. Gym was adequate and better than a lot of other hotels I've been to. Breakfast buffet was quite good with a nice change of food daily. Only terrible thing were the fruit juices esp. the OJ. Would definitely highly recommend and stay again.

1-night trip

8/10

Pros: Our room was large, clean & pleasant, and we were allowed early check in and late check out. The location was very convenient. Cons: The restaurants were closed (apart from breakfast buffet restaurant) and the room service menu only had a fraction of the dishes shown on the menu. The TV service had a very limited selection of channels of interest to a European.
