This hotel is tucked but in a great location for exploring Georgetown. Breakfast was very good and the staff were lovely. Very close to ferry port and many restaurants although alcohol a problem if you like a drink with your meal as many restaurants don’t serve it, not even the hotel.

Lovely heritage building on the fringe of the heritage area so that you are close to it but with generally more space and less crowds. Large rooms. Eventhough there is aging but it is generally well maintained. The buffet breakfast is extensive- the roti canai station was great! There is even a pool
