"Spacious comfortable room with decent air conditioning and spotlessly clean. Good and adjustable shower with huge shower room and nice sitting area in the room. Staff were always helpful and friendly, and there good recommendations for dining and spa treatments. Free ice cream available in the pool area and filtered water available to help yourself. A great location for exploring Georgetown. Music from local bars carried at night but generally stopped by 1am latest and didn’t stop us sleeping."

"A beautiful heritage terrace house in a fantastic location in George Town, within walking distance of many attractions. We stayed comfortably for two nights, with three guests each enjoying their own king bed and sharing two well-appointed bathrooms. The furniture, décor, and amenities were all thoughtfully chosen.
