Pros:

..

Cons:

La colazione viene fatta in una bakery esterna all'hotel, con tre menù fissi, che si ripetono ogni tre giorni. I prodotti extra della bakery sono molto buoni, per cui ci vorrebbe una maggiore varietà e scelta per gli ospiti dell'hotel.

J’ai adoré !
Pros:

Un hôtel 10/10! Je suis très heureuse d’avoir opté pour cet établissement pour notre semaine à Penang ! (Chambre 509 très silencieuse avec une superbe vue)

A calm and well-appointed refuge in busy George Town
Pros:

Clean, spacious room and refillable drinking water jugs - every floor has refill stations and I love the way they are reducing plastic bottle use by doing this. The swimming pool is open 24 hours (also the gym) and it was great to cool off with a dip after dinner. Breakfast is behind the main building at the excellent bakery and offered three good options that change daily. The hotel staff are really friendly and helpful and it’s an easy 10 minute walk into the centre. I was happy to be slightly outside the busy streets but within easy reach of all of the sights and restaurants and able to walk everywhere I wanted to go.

Cons:

Nothing

Parfait
Pros:

L’emplacement, l’ambiance, la mise à disposition de machines à laver et séchoirs… tout!

Cons:

Piscine trop froide
Proposition d’une version petit déjeuner enfant (croissant confiture, sans devoir payer parce que ce n’est pas dans le menu)
