Pros:

An amazing place to stay full of history. The room was spacious and had all the amenities you could require. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Excellent location to explore George Town. Breakfast was good, a wide range for different tastes. We went on the tour which is complimentary for guests. The pool area, although small, was well maintained and had a few sunbeds. We didn't feel disturbed by visitors or noticed any noise at night time. Tremendous service at all times.

Das Hotel versetzt einen in eine längst vergangene Zeit. Obwohl es sich um ein historisches Gebäude handelt, fehlt es nicht am nötigen Komfort. Sehr aufmerksames Personal macht den Besuch zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis.
