Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were exactly like on the photos and cleaned promptly during breakfast. I enjoyed the communal table setup and the original style Peranakan furniture. The service couldn't have been more attentive and helpful, always giving their best service. The location was perfect, tucked behind a lovely garden for a very private setting yet within walking distance of many highly recommended food spots. The dining options were fantastic with tons of local delicacies to try. Overall, a delightful experience with some minor drawbacks.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and well-furnished with excellent bathroom amenities, and the hospitality was top-notch in a prime location. However, the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, a great value for money choice.
The hotel exudes a wonderful Jawi heritage vibe, with well-maintained facilities and an excellent bathroom. The second double bed in the gallery is a unique touch. The staff goes above and beyond in delivering attentive and helpful service, making my stay truly delightful. The location offers a perfect balance of being within walking distance of great food spots while nestled behind a serene garden for privacy. The dining options feature local delicacies that are a must-try, enhancing the overall experience.
