Lovely hotel with a bit of character
Pros:

Lovely hotel with a bit of character in the heart of Georgetown. Staff were friendly and helpful and allowed us to store our bags when we went on a trip for a couple of days. Dinner in the bar was really enjoyable.

Cons:

The only downside was the price. A perfectly normal dinner for two people cost us 100 Euro.

Basic verblijf als goede uitvalsbasis voor bezienswaardigheden
Pros:

De locatie is erg centraal en vormt een goede uitvalsbasis om Georgetown te verkennen. Het bed is heerlijk en de airconditioning werkt fantastisch. Ik was al erg vroeg bij het hotel om 09.00 uur 's ochtends en desondanks was mijn kamer en vrij en kon ik zonder extra kosten inchecken. Het diner was prima, vooral de Franse uiensoep is een aanrader.

Cons:

De badkamer is vrij basic en de kamer is erg klein. Ik maakte gebruik van de airport shuttle service van het hotel, maar die shuttle stond helaas niet op de luchthaven om mij naar het hotel te brengen. Ondanks mijn reminder kwam de shuttle mij niet ophalen, zodat ik maar een 'gewone' taxi heb genomen. Het ontbijt was niet geweldig. Voor twee gebakken eieren met toast betaal je relatief veel.

Wresting on its laurels
Pros:

Lovely old building in a quiet area. Aircon works and the hot water comes through eventually. Only a few restaurants in the area but dinner at the hotel is decent, if expensive.

Cons:

Breakfast was expensive and a very poor quality. The staff (with the exception of the night receptionist lady) were unhelpful and surly. We had a problem with our room which we reported early morning but wasn’t fixed. The manager eventually came to look at 9pm and also couldn’t fix it. No apology, no offer of a free drink for compensation, just a shrug and ‘deal with it.’

Pros:

Old world, which was nice. Wood floors and furnishings to match. The room was comfortable. Staff were pleasant and the manager was very professional and friendly.

Cons:

No facial tissue provided. Blowing one's nose using toilet paper is not ideal. Toilet appeared not to have been flushed when I checked into the room.
