Impeccable
Pros:

Located centrally in the heart of Georgetown, walkable to a lot places of interest, cafe and local coffeeshop.

Impeccable service display by 88 Armenian from the moment we step in. The team is very knowledgable to share travel tips on both the touristy and very local tips for discerning guest who wish to follow local footsteps.

Thank to Amber & team for taking care of us even though it was a short stay. But the exemplary service left a deep lasting impression from recommending breakfast timing, the small chats, helping with the luggage and walk with us to the vehicle to sent us off. The service standard is really on par with big hotel group such as Raffles, Four Season, Capella and more.

Once again thank you Amber & team for the hospitality. Will be back to Armenian during future visit! 😊

Cons:

Light sleeper do take note that it is located between two mosque that will conduct Fajr Adhan daily. Keep an ear plug handy if required.

Outstanding hospitality in a perfect location
Pros:

88 Armenian was our favorite hotel during our 3-week vacation thanks to the incredible hospitality. The rooms were clean, modern, and spacious, and KC was especially helpful with local recommendations. We loved the thoughtful turndown service, the bath butler experience, and the delicious breakfasts with Peranakan and local dishes. Aesop bath products were a lovely touch. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Georgetown, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, hawker stalls, and street art. A wonderful boutique hotel experience — highly recommended!

Luxury Touches, Perfect Location, Incredible Value
Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at 88 Armenian Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional — genuinely warm, attentive, and always going out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. A special thank you to KC and Amber, who truly stood out for their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. They made us feel so welcome, and the rest of the team were just as fantastic — friendly, thoughtful, and always happy to help.

Breakfast was amazing, with great quality and variety, and the complimentary snacks and drinks in the fridge were such a thoughtful and generous touch. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to the Revere Suite, which was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable — a real treat.

The hotel offers excellent value for money and is perfectly located right in the heart of the action. Everything is within easy walking distance, making it incredibly convenient to explore the area.

An outstanding stay made even better by an incredible team. Highly recommended, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing it was perfect.

Pros:

I don’t even know where to begin in pointing out the positives. Let’s then begin with the most important element: the people. 88 Armenian has a great staff. They are interested, bright, positive and ready to advice on all matters. Moreover, they are excellent in providing service.
The rooms are awesome: large, complete, great showers and even better beds. The boutique sized hotel is by definition compact but you do not notice this in anything lacking but rather it empathizes the personal touch. The breakfast, for example, is perfect and changes every day. And with “changes” I don’t mean small details but the entire theme. I stayed for 3 nights but would have gladly stayed a while longer. So i’ll certainly return!
