war ok, aber würde nicht erneut dort buchen
Pros:

Zimmer und Hotel waren ok

Cons:

Preis Leistungsverhältnis passt nicht. Zimmer in die Jahre gekommen, Frühstück ok (Kaffeemaschine bzw. Kaffee zu bekommen, dauert ewig/falls möglich) Pool und Aussicht ok, aber Musik „vor allem Abends - Live Musik“ viel zu laut / Konzert Style.

Nice place to stay and always helpful
Pros:

The hotel is nice and the staff is great. They attend to my requests really quickly. They come in pairs as well to assist and ensure safety is prioritized.

There are not enough hooks or hanger in the toilet. Makes hanging 2 person's towel and clothes difficult. Also, the drainage and sink flows very slowly. There isn't a business center here for hotel guest. There is this Workzspace but the staff at the front desk is not able to advise me how to use it. They ask me to call the number on the door but nobody picks up. But they did provide alternative like where in the hotel I could go to quietly take a business call conference.

Excellent hotel
Pros:

We had a great 3 nights here the hotel was very clean and our room was huge with a lovely bathroom and great views. The breakfast choice was excellent. The rooftop pool was stunning and we enjoyed drinks at the pool bar in the evening. The bartender Jordy was so friendly and professional. Our only regret was the distance to the heritage part of George Town meant a taxi each time we would have preferred to be nearer
