Staff were helpful and easy to talk to. Close to ferry wharf and bus station. Easy walk to most areas once you know the area of George Town. Good local food court across from hotel.

Well located in Georgetown near to facilities.

Very comfortable and relaxing stay. Great view of harbour and history of the hotel building was very interesting (originally a godown for the port).

Really nice hotel; great staff

Pros: Staff and value
Cons: just needed a balcony room
Location: Location was ok-- you need to do lots of walking tho. Hop on hop off bus good and taxis very cheap. You do need to travel to see highlights
Could not fault this hotel apart from needing a balcony room to dry swimwear. Would certainly recommend but always ask for room with balcony; great value but not close to a swimming beach if this is what you need. Would go back again at any time.

Nice hotel very close to bus stop

Pros: Structure of the building, nice and clean room
Cons: we were a little disappointed that we did pre-book the hotel's limousine to the airport, but it didn't arrive on time. So worried we won't make it
Location: great location for public transportation,3D museum and amazing world just next door from the hotel so very handy.
* Very friendly staff, every where you go they greet you. * Their restaurant "Spice" (level 2) had beautiful food and the waiter was very nice and friendly, however it was very pity there were no one there to enjoy the good food.

Good value classy hotel

My fiance and I stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Pros: The room was tasteful, modern and clean and the staff helpful. Buffet breakfast included was a good addition with a decent range. Nice pool and basic but decent gym facilities. Cons: The Saturday dinner buffet range was basic but we enjoyed the dishes. Uber drivers can't seem to find the lobby! Recommended :)
