The environment and service were quite good, and the staff spoke Chinese. The only downside was the poor soundproofing in the balcony room because it was right next to the road, and the motorcycle noise there was incredibly loud, which affected my sleep. If you like the hotel, you could try requesting a different room type next time.

This hotel is absolutely steeped in history and culture, and the rooms are incredibly comfortable. They provide Aesop amenities throughout, and the minibar is completely free – it's just amazing, I loved it so much!

I love this heritage house so much that we have to stay a few nights here. The front desk person told us that this heritage house was actually owned by one of the Royal family previously, and it was recently sold in fact just last mth to a local business man. The entire house was well maintained and all the rooms are spacious with fully functional amenities you needed. The welcome drink was really nice, they change every morning with fresh chill drinks. Every corner of the house is a great spot for photos. Quite worth the stay.

Everthing aspect of this hotel were excellent and perfect! Except for 1 point - there is no lift nor electric chairlift available to access to the guestrooms. This is a huge issue for guests who are unable to climb stairs or disabled. This is a real pity as my mother-in-law could not enjoy her stay with us, and we had to book another hotel room nearby for her instead which does not require her to climb any stairs.

The hotel is well located and thoughtfully designed, with a spacious bathroom that adds to the overall comfort of the stay. With only eight rooms in the entire property, it offers a low-density environment that feels exclusive and uncrowded. For guests who value privacy, quiet surroundings, and a peaceful atmosphere, this hotel is an excellent choice.

Good experience and lovely, friendly staff. Only thing of note would be to ensure you are happy with the dates you pick before making a booking through trip as trying to modify the dates is very very time consuming and difficult. Better to book directly with the hotel itself for those unsure of the dates they pick. Otherwise a beautiful hotel

A very enjoyable experience with some of the best decor of any boutique hotel, not just in Asia. The staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and make us feel special. The hotel lacks decent gym facilities and the pool needs a mid-height front privacy wall to separate it from the street, but otherwise, it is fabulous. The food is good to very good and the international wine list is broad and well balanced in price and variety. And, the first drink on the house each evening helps settle you in for the evening after a hard day's trekking around Georgetown. Much to be liked. Recommended vs any cookie-cutter hotel for the same price.
