Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I booked this hotel for the second time because of its advantages – very good location, nice room, very helpful and extremely friendly staff, very good afternoon tea. And when in Georgetown, I would probably come back here again – excellent value for money and the unique, very pleasant atmosphere of this hotel.
Negative: Afternoon tea was very good, but the breakfast was rather mediocre
Summary: I highly recommend staying at this hotel
