It was ok…old hotel in the heart of Georgetown. Staff were great in efforts to make you comfortable while staying there. Beds a little hard and staying in the old town is maybe good for a night but we stayed 3 nights.

The hotel presents as a preserved nyonya style building. It has beautiful nyonya style tiles and decor. The internal courtyard is enclosed with a mobile roof and very pleasant to sit. Staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. Beds were comfortable and the shower had an electric hot water heater. It was clean. Good food courts and restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance

We wanted to stay in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Old Town and his hotel has great reviews and was uniquely designed to showcase the local culture compared to other more modern hotels. The hotel was a former business/residence that was converted The breakfast buffet was nice, the room was big, clean and the bathroom was modern. It was just a few blocks away from good eateries. There is only 8 rooms in this hotel and was a nice boutique hotel. Well worth the stay.

The interior of the hotel has strong peranakan influence, making it a photo worthy place to rest and recharge. The staff are also friendly, warm and take pride in their work. However, there can be greater variety in the hotel breakfast selection

Certainly a heritage style property, that's in the heart of Georgetown and minutes away from famous food and heritage streets. Amenities are basic, but still an overall comfortable stay
