We wanted to stay in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Old Town and his hotel has great reviews and was uniquely designed to showcase the local culture compared to other more modern hotels. The hotel was a former business/residence that was converted The breakfast buffet was nice, the room was big, clean and the bathroom was modern. It was just a few blocks away from good eateries. There is only 8 rooms in this hotel and was a nice boutique hotel. Well worth the stay.

The interior of the hotel has strong peranakan influence, making it a photo worthy place to rest and recharge. The staff are also friendly, warm and take pride in their work. However, there can be greater variety in the hotel breakfast selection

Certainly a heritage style property, that's in the heart of Georgetown and minutes away from famous food and heritage streets. Amenities are basic, but still an overall comfortable stay

Fantastic property in the middle of the historic bit / Chinatown. The place looks like it’s been newly refurbished to a high standard. The staff were super attentive and the location couldn’t be better.
