Pros:

Our stay was amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Satya. All the amenities provided were very thoughtful and the rooms were always clean and cool. It's also located near a lot of great spots to eat and they even provided a list of recommendations and a map marked with sightseeing spots.

Fajny hotel dla chcących zobaczyć stare miasto
Pros:

Hotel bardzo centralnie położony. Blisko do Armenian Street gdzie można zjeść i zrobić zakupy.
Pokój czysty i przestronny. Okna wychodzą na wewnętrzny dziedziniec ale przy temp. 33 st w cieniu i tak się ich nie otwiera.
Śniadanie skromne ale smaczne.
Nie było problemu z wcześniejszym wejściem do pokoju ani z pozostaniem o godzinę dłużej.

Wer in die Geschichte und die Kultur von George Town eintauchen möchte, ist hier genau richtig!
Pros:

Das alte Haus wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail renoviert und zum Hotel umgebaut und ermöglicht einen authentischen Aufenthalt in einer typischen Stadtvilla. Die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten wie auch die Fähre sind zu Fuss erreichbar und weil wir während Thaipusam in George Town waren, haben wir die Lage in Little India besonders geschätzt. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und zugleich unaufdringlich. Jeden Morgen gab es ein besonderes Frühstück mit Spezialitäten aus den verschiedenen Kulturen der Stadt: mal indisch, mal chinesisch, mal englisch - immer mit frischen Früchten dazu.

Great, authentic stay in George Town.
Pros:

Beautiful building. We stayed 4 nights and really enjoyed the ambiance, and the staff were amazing. The room didn't have a window to the outside, but that is part of the experience and the design of the building. There were plenty of areas to sit and relax. It was very peaceful. We were able to get tea each morning. Breakfast was available at an extra cost, however, we didn't take this option. Great location close to Little India and the interesting streets of the heritage area. The massage place next door was good too.

Cons:

It was all great! Highly recommend.

Pros:

Very nice looking place and very well managed. It was like a cultural experience that Ive never got. The rooms were very clean and service from the staff was great. Everything was more than adequate.

Cons:

Maybe the noise from upstairs time to time but this is inevitable I guess being an old building. Also I guess its part of the experience and didnt bother me too much.

Einzigartig, authentisch, Top-Lade, sehr, sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Ich würde jederzeit wieder hier b
Pros:

Die Einrichtung und das Setup ist einmalig. Sehr schöne Details unterstreichen den ursprünglichen Charakter, der jederzeit spürbar ist.

Cons:

Es ist ein wenig hellhörig. Das liegt jedoch an der Art und Weise, wie dieses Gebäude eingeteilt ist und an den Original-Materialien. Man wird von Anfang an darauf hingewiesen, dass es hellhörig ist, also weiss man, worauf man sich einlässt. Es gibt einen Hinweis, dass ab 22h Ruhe sein soll, wenn alle sich daran halten, ist es absolut kein Problem.

Pros:

Home made breakfast prepared on the spot.
Nice central location.

Cons:

Sound insulation of the room.......
Also the windows have no glass: if you open them to get light in, the heat comes in as well. If you keep them closed, you are in a very dark room
