Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers good value for money with its convenient location ideal for exploring Georgetown. The rooms could benefit from brighter lighting, and the furniture shows signs of aging. The service was mostly excellent, although some areas could use improvement. The dining options were average with repetitive choices, but the hotel facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff and a great location near popular food spots. The dining experience, though varied, had occasional inconsistencies. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of popular attractions and eateries. The rooms were a bit small and old but well-maintained. The service was superb, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience offered a delicious variety of dishes.
I was welcomed with cute towel art by the housekeeping staff at the hotel located close to travel destinations, restaurants, and bus stops. However, the rooms haven't been refurbished in the 8 years I've been visiting.
