Value for money

Excellent service from the staff. Location is good and the place is beautiful and clean. I love this hotel.
goh, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property had a colonial feel to it. Located a street away from the main road, which was an advantage as quiet. The room (Loft) we booked was comfortable and spacious. The staff at Breakfast were kind and polite. The location was central and walking distance to the main attractions. Also easy to get a taxi (grab).
Jeenal, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed at the family suit. The room is large and clean. The hotel is located at city center and a lot of restaurants nearby. For the breakfast included, the choice of food is limited.
Lai Sze, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful clean hotel - lovely design and furniture throughout. Very large rooms, ok breakfast. Liked that bottled water was provided and water plentiful around the hotel. Afternoon tea was a nice treat in the afternoons. Great location - easy to walk everywhere. Only complaints would be the room always smelt musky - like it needed fresh air. And the hotel is next to an event space so it can be loud in the evenings from the event music and from event staff packing up after the event. During our stay there were 2 events on. Overall, I would recommend.
