The architectural style is antique and has a lot of local character. Breakfast was decent, but it was the same every day; a bit more variety would be nice. The room was quite quiet.

Old heritage hotel. Room was clean. Aircon was not very cold though. Tv list in room need to be updated as some of the channel were not available. Breakfast was ok but is always the same food. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Centrally located, short walk to Penang Rd & local hawker stalls. Also, near to Chowrasta market, where you can eat locally for breakfast & lunch, buy fresh fruits etc..
Hotel is very clean with ac, hot showers & comfy bed. Nice decor.

Good location - walking distance to food and sights. Nice aesthetics too with details to furnishing. Aircon is also strong.
However, there is little sound proofing and it can get noisy whenever cars or motorbikes drives by. There is also a nearby bar that plays music past midnight. The water drainage in the shower was also a little slow and I had to pause my shower so that the water would not pool. Some of the floorboards were creaky too.

The hotel has a very good location in Georgetown and easily accessible to all places of interest. Nice n cozy vibe to rest and relax in. It comes with double-pane glass to minimize road or outside environmental noise n you will still hear a bit of sound from the mosque nearby but it has been greatly reduced and you won’t noticed it if you are asleep.. tv channels a bit limited and no smart tv for u to use YouTube or Netflix. Receptionist Thara is very helpful and speaks fluent English.

pretty heritage hotel decked with old school furnishings. the daily breakfast repeats itself, with buffet style scrambled eggs, ham, sausages, broccoli, prata and curry and some kueh. decent but it's more worth it to go out and have roti bakar and eggs penang style. was a little disappointed with the "garden suite", I mean, when named this way, you'd expect a larger room and a proper garden like open space outside, but it's just a small space filled with weeds for guests to smoke I suppose. didn't spend a second out in the "garden", there's only a small square for a person to stand and presumably smoke. service is great, constantly being greeted hi and bye. the location is excellent, with some reputable coffee shops around, a 10 min walk to the more bustling areas like Armenian street.
