The service and every staff member I interacted with were amazing, but unfortunately by room just hadn't had a good clean in a very long time. Mildew in the bathroom and crumbs under the bed, just not in a great condition.
The hotel is very nice, but it is dated. It is good value for money. The swimming pool is very big and there is a nice gym. It is walking distance to most attractions.

Was Hacked and Had Crdit Card Charged!
Place is in rundown condition. But, for the price it is fair. My problem, and I should say my big problem, was that I was hacked when using their QR code to order room service. They have a third party app that stole my credit card info. I spent a day in the police department and making expensive calls to my credit card company etc.. AND THE WORST PART - no attention or apology from manager. No compensation and no care at all. IT came to the room and they said they would remove the QR codes from the hotel. They did not. Unacceptable.
I received charges from some company!

Experience for check in is ok. But went into the room, amenities are not provided fully.
1) Toothbrushes and toothpaste (booked two rooms, one room have it, the another don't have it
2) Both rooms only provided with bath towels. Hand towels are not provided.
3) Carpets are dirty, don't appear vacuumed for a super long while.
4) TV has no proper channel. I have decided to manual re-tune all the channels via the settings and it finally got some proper channels, but not according to the channel list shown.

The hotel is a bit old.
The location is a bit off the center of George Town but still walkable if you don't mind.
The swimming pool is on the small side.
The rooftop restaurant is great. You can see the whole Geroge Town almost.
There is a big night food court right next to the hotel where you can get all kinds of food for dinner.
I liked the staff and their hospitality. The hotel is good value for the money. The room service is excellent. the sea-view from the room is breath-taking.
The staff was helpful. We were able to borrow unbrellas which was useful. Conveniently located to a hawkers stand delicious. Had maps so street art was found. Need a map for the walking tour which was fun but could only find it on our phone. Need to post ideas so people could see more actuvities in this wonderful city.
the bed blankets are just individual 2 white sheets sandwiching a thicker blanket. The sheets will separate during sleeping . kettle is dirty with black stains, door is creeking when opening. no place to hang any clothes after washing as the wash line in the bathroom is broken.
Stay was nice but certainly it could use some facelift. Lift lobby reeks of cigarettes and the TV uses AV connection that don't really have options and the options that worked had very poor reception. Not much of accessible power sockets close to bed and worst of all there was no lighting options if you want to have some light to work on something. I have seen some moody pubs have better lighting.
Big plus point is walkable distance to the World Heritage Site of old Georgetown

Overall this was a big surprise, as I had read mixed reviews that were posted, yes it is an older hotel but it has great charm and larger rooms only minutes from the centre of George Town, and the best thing of all the staff were amazing , and the food was excellent
