A beautiful hotel with an interesting heritage in the heart of George Town. The staff went above and beyond, always with
Pros:

Due to late flights, we arrived at Yeng Keng Hotel at 5am. I had informed the hotel and they had been very communicative and reassuring that there would be hotel staff to greet us; it was no problem at all. When we arrived, they were truly delightful, bringing us a refreshing local drink and checking us in quickly and with huge smiles. We were shown to our rooms which were spotless and very comfortable.

Cons:

Very little! The hotel café/restaurant closed between 3-6pm so there was no way to order any food or drink (other than water or tea/coffee) during this time which was a shame.
