The Granite Luxury Hotel
We stayed here for three nights while visiting Georgetown. Nice room that was very clean. Location was walkable to many things and also a quick Grab ride to anything. Only thing we didn’t know was no restaurant attached so we couldn’t order room service and no coffee! They did have tea available ...

Staff, hotel smells of mold and sewer and let it rides. We had to force the staffs to go up to the room to admit the smell to proof that we did not make up to get refund. We had to suffer for four days with the smell. They said can not do anything about it
