The hotel is in an excellent location, right in the main street, but with no traffic noise. Fantastic street food close-by on Chulia Street and in the Red Garden. The room is spotless. As the building is a wooden structure, there is some noise from other guests. The guys at reception are very helpful and friendly with lots of great... More

Walking distance to lots of interesting things. The room was fine, clean and with a comfortable bed. I asked reception to recommend an area with a few bars and places to eat but she didn't know where to suggest but promptly telephoned a freind who came up trumps! Great service with a smile.

Location: excellent as it is right in the middle of Georgetown and in an area where most backpackers stay (thus cheap food, drinks and laundrettes, all within walking distance). Upon arriving, we were greeted with a smile and a given a free upgrade :D One slight downside - the en-suite bathrooms were designed as wet rooms so when you shower,... More

Nice , neat and friendly place right in the heart of George town... They do not have a common kitchen so you got to have breakfast outside. There are many eat outs for breakfast , lunch and dinner serving traditional Cantonese food , Italian and Western. Pretty close to the ferry and the bus stop being just a few yards... More

This is a well located hotel with minimal yet convenient amenities... rooms are a bit small, staff are extremely helpful and friendly... the only negative point about our room was that the bathroom is so small that taking a shower will create a mess of the whole bathroom including the wash basin. We had a family room (of 4) and... More

Fantastic boutique hotel in a central location in Georgetown. The renovated colonial building provides ample charm in a World Heritage city. Standard room was somewhat small, but clean and functionally minimalist with a high ceiling that compensated for the lack of floor space. Amenities were top-notch, with flat-screen TV with international channels and coffee service in the room. The bed... More

We stayed here for three nights in April. The location could not be anymore centrally located. It is quite easy to get around town. There are bus stops on the main street right outside of the entrance. The all white room was just perfect! The bed was very comfortable, the shower always had hot water running and there is staff...

After a long day traveling from Thailand, arriving here was a real treat. The room was very clean and modernly decorated. It was small but I made use of the closet to store my bag. The bathroom had a rain showerhead with truly hot water. The lobby and building are beautiful and in a great location, the heart of Chinatown... More
