    I loved the architecture of the hotel and it felt like stepping back in time. I loved the cool central courtyard and the air conditioned rooms were an excellent escape from the sun.

    The coffee at breakfast wasn’t great. Otherwise completely ideal.

    Gorgeous old colonial building in the perfect location to explore Georgetown. Exceptional staff and a decent breakfast (apart from the coffee!) Would definitely recommend - super clean, powerful air con and stunning surroundings. Definitely worth a visit.

    Room was a little bit too small.

    Very authentic atmosphere of the hotel. The hotel is recently renovated, neat and clean. Clean, nice pool with sunbeds. Good breakfast. Very nice and helpful staff. The famous Georgetown Food Street is very close to the hotel. Location is quite central - you can reach a lot of interesting places on foot.

    The hotel is on a busy street in Georgetown and the storm drains aren't always covered so when walking down streets in Georgetown you need to constantly be alert.

    Lots of love and attention has been given to the hotel decor which is beautiful. The bedroom is comfortable, although not particularly roomy. Lots of choice at breakfast. The pool was great to cool off in the afternoon especially as it was very hot and sticky when were there. The staff are very helpful too.

    - breakfast is the same everyday - their double bed is actually two beds pushed together, mine happened to be making a lot of noise every time I move - pillows are too soft - staff are all polite especially the guard and the Indian lady at the entrance, but one time, I needed some directions to a famous food stalls nearby, she told me she would get the front desk to assist us, we waited at the front yard for a good 10 mins but no one came. Turned out, the front desk staff was there all along at the reception! Miscommunication perhaps? I don't know - Lastly, if you didn't leave a "do not disturb" tag on your door handle, they will knock on your door at 9 am. You can't sleep in.

    Beautiful interior. Great location. Polite staff Overall, a positive experience

    Colonial vibes all the way. There was a major problem in the city with the water supply, but the hotel was on top of things and didn't affect us in the least. Centrally located, i'm not sure what more we could have wanted
