Nice hotel, well located.

This is a very good hotel well located in the heart of Georgetown, close to all the sites. We did not find it noisy as some have commented. It is a heritage property which has its great charms and also some limitations. The rooms are comfortable with air-conditioning, but quite small. There is a very welcome pool. And the restaurant provides a decent breakfast. There are not many places to sit together as a family in the evenings, as the pool area is locked at 7pm.

What a peach of a hotel, you're treated brilliantly by all the staff, they cannot do enough to assist you. Breakfast is lovely with a selection of choices, didn't try the restaurant in the evening as was too busy trying the multitude of dining options around George Town. Would highly recommend this hotel.
