Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious with a lovely comfortable lounge and a balcony offering a view of the courtyard, but they were quite dark. The service, on the other hand, was fantastic, starting with a warm welcome from the staff. The location was convenient and designed for comfort, although being so close to the street made it noisy at times. The dining experience was good, especially with the option of both western and Asian cuisine. The facilities were sufficient, but due to noise levels, it could be hard to fully enjoy them.
The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Georgetown, offering a tranquil stay amidst historical charm and close proximity to local attractions. The service provided is outstanding, with accommodating staff ready to enhance your experience. The dining options, while decent, could benefit from a wider selection. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.
The hotel is located conveniently on Love Lane offering clean and comfortable rooms with authentic local breakfast served in beautiful plates. The design and flavors of the rooms are diverse, providing a delightful experience. The staff puts in a lot of effort to restore the old shop house but is limited in availability during late evening hours. The location is perfect for exploring the historic core zone with easy access to street art and local food, guaranteeing a quiet night's sleep. The dining options offer a mix of Western and Asian cuisines, though some items are sourced from street hawkers for a modest fee.
