The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel looks nice but it’s a bit worn out, especially inside the room I noticed a few broken things and the overall quality didn’t seem great. It was a pleasant stay overall.

Great hotel in a great location. Staff were wonderful and made us very welcome. Lots of great ideas of things to do. Noise from hawker market opposite was very loud but the ear plugs helped massively. Probably nicest hotel in Georgetown from what we saw.
