Plenty of gorgeous historic boutique hotels in Georgetown but this one makes an enormous effort on service and, while not without some bumps, it shows. A few room quirks: surprisingly only 2 or 3 TV stations, with no English news. Yes, you are not here to watch TV but... AC is rather loud. The hotel is above Il Bacaro Italian restaurant--a very good place. Breakfast there (Il Bacaro, complimentary with hotel stay) offers many options, fresh and homemade.

This is easily the best serviced apartment in Georgetown. It is quite possibly my dream home. What we loved the most was all 3 bedrooms have an attached bathroom. Everything else is excellent and exceeded our expectations.

This hotel was a surprise on so many levels. Loved the people who worked there and the vibe. The rooms were spectacular .... Huge space, 2 bathrooms, outdoor space, lots of thought given to detail. The restaurant was extraordinary. Breakfast was a la carte and delicious. Coffee was excellent. Great attention to detail. We didn't want to leave.

The toilet seat was in need of repair, it was out of alighment so was not comfortable.
The wash basin area is too small. Water get splashed onto the sides.
Towels given were frayed at the edges

You get what you expect from Marriott. At least I did. I was there for work hence it worked for me. Would I go back for leisure but I may also look at other options which is in the neighborhood for the price range. That said they delivered what a Marriott is expected to deliver.

My boyfriend and I stayed at The Prestige for 4 nights 5 days. The check in went fast and smooth and the staff were super friendly. We had a free welcome drink voucher. The room was spotless and the decor looked exactly like the pictures on the wensite. We immediately felt like we were staying in luxury.
The only improvement area for the room is that there was no bin in the toilet which is necessary for women to have. Also there werent enough sanitary bags in the room. The minibar options were...

Edison gives you a warm welcoming experience at their heritage home- high attention to detail of service from the team, tastefully designed clean rooms, open concept pantry with access to coffee/drinks/snacks through the day.
It's fitted with modern finishing with a hint of Peranakan architecture. But the most memorable, is not about the architecture because you can find that plentiful around George Town. It is the people that makes the difference, it felt that we were staying with friends-...

I spent a bank holiday weekend with a friend in this lovely hotel. The decor is extremely tasteful and welcoming. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The staff is discrete, professional, helpful and polite. Breakfast is served on a lovely covered terrace by the pool and they offer everything you need, from eggs, toasts, fruits to more local dishes such as nasi lemak. The location is very good and you we were able to walk eveywhere in Georgetown. There are plenty of little cafés and...
