Maravilla
Pros:

La ubicación del alojamiento era idílica para visitar los principales puntos turísticos y está rodeado de infinidad de restaurantes.
Nos alejamos en la suite chulia, esta dividida en 2 estancias grandes (ambas con televisión) + el baño, lo que lo hace muy agradable.
El staff fue increíblemente amable. Al día siguiente, nuestro autobús salía tarde, y nos guardaron las maletas para que pudiésemos seguir turisteando.
Creo que había leído alguna reseña negativa del desayuno, en mi opinión, para estar incluido, es suficiente, tortillas al gusto, tostadas, salchichas, fideos y algún dulce. Si quieres otras opciones, tienes muchas cafeterias top alrededor y una tienda de cookies famosa.

Cons:

No destacaría nada negativo

Super verblijf gehad.
Pros:

Heel fijn hotel. Mooie schone kamers met goede douche. Prima ontbijt. Personeel zeer vriendelijk en attent. Lokatie uitstekend. Zwembad ook heel fijn.

Cons:

Eerste nacht geluids overlast van straat tot diep in nacht echt harde muziek (maar volgens mij was er ook festival?).
Tweede nacht hele avond geluiden van bovenburen gehoord, leek wel of ze meubels aan verplaatsten (wij hadden ook kamer beneden).
2 persoons kamer boven is wat krapper met minder kast ruimte.

A beautiful hotel with an interesting heritage in the heart of George Town. The staff went above and beyond, always with
Pros:

Due to late flights, we arrived at Yeng Keng Hotel at 5am. I had informed the hotel and they had been very communicative and reassuring that there would be hotel staff to greet us; it was no problem at all. When we arrived, they were truly delightful, bringing us a refreshing local drink and checking us in quickly and with huge smiles. We were shown to our rooms which were spotless and very comfortable.

Cons:

Very little! The hotel café/restaurant closed between 3-6pm so there was no way to order any food or drink (other than water or tea/coffee) during this time which was a shame.

Sehr gute Wahl, um George Town zu erleben
Pros:

Kleines historisches Hotel in der Altstadt. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Kleiner sauberer Pool, wo wir nachmittags im ein Platz gefunden haben.

Cons:

Beim Frühstück hätte es mehr unterschiedliches lokales Obst geben können.
