Très bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal, tout se fait à pied
Les équipes sont professionnelles et très gentilles
le restaurant est bon également

Cons:

Qui dit centre ville dit bruit. Dans un carrefour donc automatiquement on entend ce qui se passe dehors.
Pour les personnes très sensibles au bruit, je conseille d'éviter ou de demander une chambre qui ne donne pas sur la rue (s'il en existe)

Pros:

Location perfect. The colonial style made a difference to where we had been staying previously and we enjoyed this. The shoes off policy is great when going up to the bedrooms. Plenty of restuarants and food stools around and only minutes from the street art.

Cons:

Breakfast was good be get the bloke serving to smile a little!

Comfortable stay in a heritage building with amazing location.
Pros:

Great location, close to Chowrasta Market and walkable to Armenian St and heritage areas. So many eateries nearby.
Rooms are individually decorated with unique character, spacious, very comfortable beds.
Love the water, iced lemon tea and daily treats.
Wifi is decent.
Very unique way of getting luggage up and down!
Staff are so friendly and helpful, the service feels personalised.

Cons:

Being a heritage building, hardly anything is level, and you need to be careful with the changing levels along the corridors and in the rooms.
No lift, so those with mobility issues will ha e problems.
Aircon can be very cold.
Some traffic noise from time to time

Almost Perfect
Pros:

- Location with plenty of eateries nearby. Some attractions are less than 20 minutes walk.
- Friendly staffs
- Clean
- Like the flat pillows and there’re 4 of them
- The daily complimentary dessert or cake
- The vintage decoration

Cons:

- It is better to have a reserved parking for guests to load and unload their luggages. It is a very congested street, so unloading the luggages is a bit of a hassle.
- The closet is very small, so they should have more hooks in the room or bathroom.

Pros:

This was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had while traveling. The preserved structure was beautiful, and the way the decor was kept to match that theme was so chic. The staff were so so nice, they even came every evening to drop off a baked treat or dessert during turn down service (all of which were delicious). It was very clean. The huge bed was so comfortable. The AC works perfectly, for when you want to take a break from the heat. I will 100% be back!

Cons:

The floors are quite slippery, and you leave your shoes at the bottom of the main stairs, so watch your footing. No other notes!

Parfait pour séjourner à Georgetown dans le confort et la courtoisie
Pros:

Maison absolument charmante, jolie et confortable, le personnel est aux petits oignons. Très bon emplacement central. Jolie petite terrasse sur le toit.
Le restaurant italien vaut également le détour (plus pour ses pâtes que ses pizzas…)

Cons:

Rien à signaler !

Un coup de coeur ! à tout point de vue !
Pros:

hôtel coup de coeur de notre voyage en Mailaisie ! une déco parfaite, on plonge dans un autre espace temps, peu de chambres, on se croit à la maison. L'accueil est top, bienveillant, de bons conseils, un vrai sens de l'hospitalité. Les chambres ont chacune un style, décorées à la perfection, le thé froid au frigo et les "douceurs" du soir sont une suite de détails qui font toute la différence. Idéalement situé

Cons:

Rien, tout était parfait !

Charme et confort
Pros:

Chambre agréable très bien décorée. Un salon détente sur le toit et une bibliothèque au premier oú le bois est omniprésent et l’ambiance chaleureuse. Les valises montent dans les chambres par une corde au centre du bel escalier. Très bon petit déjeuner servi dans le restaurant italien. Le personnel est attentif et sympathique. Bref, un séjour très agréable et un voyage dans le temps.
