Highly recommend for a great stay
The decor is very nice it feels like a time capsule with the history blending into modern comfort. The staff were so kind helped us with our requests without any hesitation.
It was a bit pricey but worth every penny.

the architecture is amazing, blending history with modern comfort. air-conditioning control lights are annoyingly bright at night.

No bedside sockets for charging devices!!! Low voltage lighting gave headaches, and steep steps in the loft room pose challenges for elderly guests!!! The location feels a bit unkempt compared to other areas!!!

Loved my stay here! The Heritage Double Room was spacious, with a comfy bed and a nice little pantry area that made it feel like home. Just a heads up, the bathroom window didn’t close fully, so keep the AC on to stay cool. 🌿

A beautiful colonial-style property that feels much cozier than typical corporate hotels. The Garden Room was spacious and well-appointed, making it an enjoyable retreat. Breakfast featured a generous variety, including delightful local dishes like Nasi Lemak. The location is fairly good for exploring the area, though bars are a 10-15 minute walk away. Be aware, though, that the sound from a nearby mosque can be noticeable, and some areas outside feel slightly unkempt.
