Pros:

Charme de la maison historique très bien située avec un côté intimiste, des petites attentions appréciables et l’amabilité du personnel

Cons:

De par l’architecture de cette maison, pas d’isolation phonique avec les chambres du dessus et l’absence totale de lumière naturelle dans notre chambre du rez de chaussée. Des petits déjeuners qui pourraient être plus copieux et l’absence de produits de confort dans la salle de bains

Immer wieder gerne
Pros:

Eigentlich alles, aber…

Cons:

Wi-Fi ist nicht überall verfügbar, es gibt blind spots.

Nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil, aber das Frühstücks-Konzept ist ungewohnt: Es wird ein Menu frisch und sehr gut zubereitet (z.B. Continental oder eine Nudelsuppe oder French) - ein Buffet gibt es aber nicht. Wem das Menu nicht passt, muss hungern.

Die Wassermenge in der Dusche ist eher knapp bemessen.

A really special place
Pros:

I stayed in Amistar 1 I think and it was a beautiful room. The hotel is really special - an old Chinese house in the middle of Georgetown. I found it wonderful. The interior courtyards were lovely places to sit, the thoughtful snacks in the room were great, the breakfast was so lovely - different every day and really special. The staff helped us with restaurants. I thought it was great. Thank you so much.

Old Charming Historical Mansion
Pros:

Location fairly good. In Little India and a few blocks from Chinatown. Walking distance to Armenian Street.

Old world charm. Different breakfasts on different days: one day dim sum, 2nd day continental, 3rd day Indian, 4th day French style toast but using Chinese Mi Gui (Turtle Bread).

Cons:

Could do some repair which really cost minimum. Like the arm of a chair in the dining room came off and stuff knew about it. All it took was some furniture glue to fix.

Some historical photos in the main reception area but the descriptions were way too small and too high up to read. What a pity.

A huge step from the sleeping quarter into the bathroom. The landing was too narrow so it was scary to step into the bathroom in the middle of the night. See photo.
