"Room was clean and well maintained. Good WiFi and Air-cond. All staffs were efficient, professional and courteous. Had a very comfortable stay. Thank you."
"Nice room, but very quiet location with little food n shopping options in the immediate surroundings.
The fire alarm went off, but the announcement could not be heard inside the room. This is a fire safety concern that needs to be looked into."
"Being on a unesco world heritage site, I loved their use of Old colonial furniture and fixtures. Staff were great. Very friendly. Great breakfast. Right in the middle of old town Georgetown. Close to the free CAT shuttle bus. The Red Village market a perfect place for great reasonably priced dinner. Would stay there again"
