Elegantly appointed, the staff were fantastic. I was treated to something increasingly special. Thank you.
Pros:

Incredibly situated in the heart of Georgetown, I was able to gently wander from my room to all the restaurants and shopping that I wanted to. Great location.

Paid for higher cost room, downgraded to small room with no discount or refund bah?
Pros:

A/C broke down, put me in a smaller uncomfortable room and did not refund for the failure. Granted the hotel was full - so what -

Cons:

Management

Very central location but somewhat nosy at night mainly from vehicles/ motor bikes. Staff excellent.
Pros:

Very friendly staff attended to all requests

Cons:

We stayed in Blossum room just above reception . Quite nosy at night when guests returned to accommodation. Road noise was generally high. We had to use ear plugs to mitigate noise. The building is very traditional which meant there are more rules than normal accommodation. May not suit all guests.

Esperienza unica in perfetto stile coloniale
Pros:

Boutique hotel in perfetto stile coloniale, posizione centralissima, sembra nuovo, nelle stanze c’è un buonissimo odore, lo staff è gentilissimo, tutto perfetto, esperienza unica e imperdibile

Cons:

Tutto perfetto, forse si potrebbe arricchire la colazione con un piccolo buffet, gli italiani lo gradiscono molto
