Pros:

The room and the decoration of the place is so unique and pretty. The staff were nice, they helped me to book a taxi to KL when Grab didn't want to take us.

Cons:

The drainage in the shower wasn't working properly so there was some water that stayed on the ground for quite a long time.

プラナカンスタイルの素敵なホテル
Pros:

ロビーや部屋がプラナカンスタイルで素敵だった。
ロケーションもよく、静かな場所だが、近くにカフェやコインランドリーがあるのも良かった。

Cons:

建物が古いためか、排水溝のにおいが少し感じられたが、許容範囲ではある。

Prachtig groot Chinees oud Herenhuis.
Pros:

Het is een prachtig oud gebouw, heel ruim en vol met Chinees antiek. De staff is heel aardig en behulpzaam. Het is zeer centraal gelegen, maar in een rustige straatcen toch in hartje centrum. 3 Minuten lopen van de drukke "Jonker" straat. Ik had een zeer grote lichte kamer, uitkijkend op een overdekte binnenplaats.

Cons:

Helemaal niets.
