"The staff are very helpful and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive, especially front desk. Pool area is a very nice place to chill out after a day of exploring. They even serve a lovely afternoon tea snack by the pool. The room was lovely, with so much room to move and great central spot for walking everywhere in George Town."

"The hotel is in such prime location for getting anroubd Georgetown and is such a beautiful building. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Our room for 3 was quite small but ample for a couple of nights. Was so great having the pool to cool off in the heat I would highly recommend to anyone visiting this exciting city."
