Guest Reviews
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Location, style, this isn’t just a hotel, it is an experience if you want to feel immersed in Georgetown.
- Izhar (10/5): - Excellent service, hotel and location , very helpful staff
- Izhar (10/5): - Excellent location and staff and very luxurious hotel
- Cleve Kevin Robert (10/5): Heritage luxury - Seven Terraces is a masterstroke of heritage luxury in George Town, stitching together seven grand Anglo-Chinese terraces into a serene, deeply atmospheric hideaway. Antique Peranakan furnishings, soaring ceilings, and quietly attentive service create a sense of living history without feeling staged, while Kebaya, its lauded restaurant, fuses Nyonya flavours with cosmopolitan flair. Discreetly tucked away yet steps from Penang’s vibrant lanes, this is a hotel that lets the past breathe—sumptuous, storied, and effortlessly elegant.
- Denise (10/5): - Amazing property. Do not hesitate to book, it’s a wonderful Penang experience
- Joan (10/5): 7 Terraces In Georgetown Penang - Excellent and spacious hotel rooms, comfortable king bed and great pillows. Very traditional decor which we enjoyed. Breakfast was very good, afternoon tea by the pool was nice, the bar area great and the restaurant at the hotel was amazing definitely worth eating there
- Charles (10/5): - Lovely heritage hotel in the heart of Georgetown. So much character and charm
- Ronald (10/5): - Nice period place
- Amanda (10/5): - Beautiful hotel in the middle of George Town. Great little retreat, perfect for exploring George Town.
- Charles (10/5): Lovely greorgetown - Beautiful hotel, fantastic room, friendly staff.
- John (10/5): Best hotel - The only place to stay in Penang. Fantastic staff and amazing decor throughout the property
- Taryn Lee (10/5): - We absolutely loved Seven Terraces. It’s close to everything and has such a great vibe. The staff were so kind and friendly and the rooms are magnificent. We will be recommending it to everyone and can’t wait to come back and stay here again!!!!
- Rebecca (10/5): Colonial - Beautiful hotel with great staff in a Colonial feel - location wasn't the best for entry to hotel but other than that it was perfect
- Henry (10/5): - Very happy we stayed here. Very close to lots of places to visit. Room is exquisite, very clean. Has a vintage feel but modern at the same time.
- Matt. (10/5): - Amazing authentic Chinese themed building almost like a museum. Well looked after, great staff and service. We enjoyed our stay, will recommend it to anyone who visits Penang.
- Nur Iffah (10/5): A Home Away From Home - Seven Terraces exceeded my expectations in every way. I was amazed by how well the old mansion has been preserved—it felt like living in a museum. The antiques were in exceptional condition, adding to the charm of the place. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, the service was impeccable. The staff knew who to expect and promptly checked on our stay and departure, showing genuine care and concern. Their hospitality was truly top-notch. My only regret is not staying longer than a day. Seven Terraces is definitely a place that feels like home.
- Yean Lee (10/5): - We love the hotel , it’s so beautiful.
Staffs are super helpful. Parking is right infront of the hotel . Close to shopping area .
Highly recommended.
- Jack (10/5): - My few days at Seven Terraces figure as one of the best hotel stays I have ever had. The staff are wonderfully friendly, attentive, caring, and helpful. The facilities are beautiful. Someday when I return to Penang, I will look to stay here again first.
- Thai-Nguyen (10/5): - Beautiful heritage hotel. Room was awesome with great AC. Need reservation for the restaurant. Staff is nice and serviceable. Afternoon tea by the pool is great. Walking distance to many restaurants, hawker places and sights. Taxi ordered bu the hotel is more expensive than through Grab though.
- George (10/5): - Pretty property in an old part of Georgetown. Very near to all the major attractions and food steets. Suite is big and nicely decorated with Peranakan style furnitures.
- April (8/5): - Stay was relaxing and quiet . Check in was not very welcoming, no cool drink was offered and we weren’t told were anything was. Can’t order drinks or food by the pool. So we had to go out for a couple of hours until our room was ready. Breakfast was average. The hotel restaurant Kebaya was very good.
- Sady (10/5): Old but great - Lovely, beautifully renovated historic buildings and furniture, staff helpful and welcoming
- SHIN HOE (10/5): - A beautiful place to stay in that is so in keeping with the surrounding Peranakan culture
- Pierre (10/5): - The hotel is beautifully restored and looks more like a museum than a hotel. Convenient location close to everything. The staff is lovely. The restaurant serves outstanding food. When i come back to Penang i will stay here again. Thank you
- Gien K (8/5): - Nice property but needs touch up renovation to keep it up.
- Thomas (10/5): - Beautiful property, incredible room with a few rough edges but nothing to spoil a great stay!
Loved the swimming pool and afternoon tea with cakes!
- Mark (10/5): A good choice for Georgetown - We had a lovely stay and recommend this property in Penang. Easy to walk to many parts of Georgetown and Grab drivers seem to know it too.
If you plan to visit the restaurant be sure to book in advance. We did not and they were closed one night and already booked for the other when we arrived.
- Agnes (10/5): A beautiful heritage hotel - This is a very beautiful heritage hotel and I am impressed by the restoration. The rooms are so spacious and well furnished and thus very comfortable. We like the personal touch of the staff and are grateful for the restaurant recommendations near the hotel. Location-wise, it’s a short drive from many tourist attractions and nice eateries. So overall I would highly recommend this very gorgeous hotel for tourists who like a more unique culturally rich experience.
- CHOW LAI (10/5): - So happy to see and proud of the attention to detail, love and effort put into salvaging these old heritage buildings. It was quiet, private and elegant. A wonderful stay.
- Yue (10/5): - A nice and cozy place.
- Saxon (10/5): - Stunningly renovated property from old Malay townhouses. Lots of character and unique design features. Good location in centre of George Town. Large bedrooms. Friendly, helpful staff.
- JONATHAN FRANCIS (10/5): - The owner has taken pains to maintain the property, which is not easy. The hotel is in the heart of Georgetown and interesting places are within walking distance. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Front of House staff went the extra mile! Really enjoyed breakfast and tea at the hotel. Good ambience! Dinner at the Kebaya Dining Room is a must.
- Johanna (10/5): Outstanding hotel and staff - Seven Terraces always goes above and beyond in their customer service. They are beyond helpful and provide great information to those visiting Penang for the first time.
- Sabariah binte (10/5): - Amazing place ! It gives lots of historical essences
- ZHITANG (10/5): - Excellent customer service that would go the extra mile where they can, coupled with genuine antique furniture really brings you back in time as visiting royal
- Kevin (10/5): Great hotel. - This is a great hotel. Good location and huge room. Pool is good but didn't use the restaurant so can't review but it looked good. Very quiet but interesting part of town.
- Dorothy (10/5): - This is an excellent hotel. Service team is wonderful. Ambiance is wonderful. The ambiance is... 20/10. Stay here. It's a magical little corner of Penang. Oh and the restaurant is wonderful.
- Susan (10/5): - An amazing boutique heritage hotel. We loved our stay here, super friendly & helpful staff. We will definitely be back.
- Mark (10/5): - Beautiful architecture and decor. On-site restaurant was exceptional quality, local cuisine.
- Johanna (10/5): One of the best hotel experiences. - The hotel is so charming. The staff was outstanding, rooms were comfortable, and the pool was relaxing. We will definitely stay here again.
- carol (10/5): A Jewel - this is a jewel of a place to stay and Chester and Wendy make you feel immediately welcome. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. The dinner is special so don't eat that day and book a table! Lots of flavors and dishes. The breakfast is a calm civilized way to start the day; include that in your stay. if you are worried about the stairs up to the tv, there is not much on anyway, so there is no need to go up there and the bed/bath area is huge.
very convenient to all the sights within the old town area and yet secluded enough so that you can relax at the pool from all that you have experienced outside the compound.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Easily the most beautiful hotel in Penang and with the most fabulous service.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing architecture. A unique hotel, highly recommend
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A beautifully maintained and furnished property with a small number of rooms so every guest is made to feel special. Excellent location within easy walking distance of the main George Town attractions and with plenty of food options of all types nearby.
- Arnaud (10/5): - The property is very clean, the furniture of traditional Peranakan style very well-preserved. The place is very peaceful, perfect for relaxation. We will come back!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Would recommend - Fabulous 4 night stay in the Argus Apartment. Very quiet. Extremely huge apartment - totally perfect for the 3 of us. Loved all the decor in keeping with its peranakan theme. Enjoyed the afternoon teas by the pool . Didn’t actually use the poi but it looked lovely. Staff were so friendly and helpful at all times . Ate at Lenaka restaurant one evening - what a delicious meal. Totally recommend this place and would come back here .
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Unique restored hotel with good amenities and where the staff are very friendly and provided us with an excellent service. Refreshingly different to the modern hotels where the rooms all appear to look the same regardless of where you are in the world
- Hon Lung (8/5): Surprisedly stingy when it comes to towels - A really beautiful property with a very Peranakan feel. Gorgeous for photos and for wedding photos, but details leave much to be desired. No slippers were supplied until asked. Hand and face towels are not provided by default, and has to be asked for every day. Breakfast and afternoon tea are good, but nothing to write home about. Free drinks in the mini-bar are a nice touch and surprisingly generous given the ask-for-towels-everyday situation. Location is slightly off the main Street but can still be quite loud on the weekends, although the design of the room makes it hard to hear. Overall, great stay for a regular hotel, but average for a luxury hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Huge and comfortable room. Staffs were very kind and helpful for guests.
- Seng K (10/5): Lovely place. - Excellent place and atmosphere. Stewart Apartment was large, comfortable and very luxurious for the 4 of us. Air-conditioning was fully functional amid a hot/humid Penang condition.
- Rebecca (10/5): - Central location
Super friendly and helpful staff
Heritage hotel that brings you back to the olden days
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The room was amazingly decorated and clean and the staffs were helpful and friendly. It was overall an amazing experience
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This hotel boutique was such a special and unique property. It does have a flavour of the mix of Chinese, Indo, Malay and British cultures.
The hotel has 28 suites so every guest gets special attention. I will definetely come back to this place as it s a gem with its wonderful food and a la carte breakfast menu ! The bedroom suite are on two floor and very spacious !
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was gorgeous, staff was absolutely wonderful and outstanding, room was amazing (one of our a/c needed a different remote but it was fine), breakfast was a nice selection of Malay and western choices, on our last night, they brought us some muesli and fruit for our fridge for the next morning as we needed to check out before breakfast service began, which was really thoughtful and appreciated as we had not asked for this. Location of the property was great for walking around Gerorge Town. We truly enjoyed our stay!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very nice hotel (with a few 'buts') - Very nice hotel in a great location. Everything was perfect, or next to it, except perhaps for the breakfast (which is 'à la carte' instead of a buffet), the apparent 'indifference' (although you could of course also say 'authenticity' : ) of some of the staff, and the 'complimentary afternoon tea', which was meager to say the least. Better not to offer any such 'freebies' at all. Still, we would go back for another stay..
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Amazing old town houses with beautiful antiques. Treated very well. Attentive staff. Central location. A little hard to find but more secure that way. Good food. Classic bar. Small but lovely tea. Small but lovely pool. Had suite #3 with 2 floors, 2 bathrooms, balcony. Huge with juice and water and fridge and hairdryer. Shower open so a little odd. Helpful with directions and calling cabs. Great place to relax in crazy, dirty, wonderful Penang. Used a white noise machine to sleep so not sure how noisy at night. A little hard to control a/c level and stairs could be tricky for some. Friends stayed at E and O. Question of whether you want strictly modern or something older but well done with local flavor.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - One word sums up this boutique hotel: exquisite.
What comes through clearly is the love and attention to detail that was put into its renovation and refurbishment, to keep everything as authentic and as elegantas possible.
It gives an inkling of olden times past.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Will def go back
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a lovely time at the Seven Terraces, the staff were excellent, breakfasts great and the room and hotel were lovely.
- donald (10/5): I loved this place and will be back - Everything a out this hotel was 5 star. Reception could. It be more helpful service was discrete breakfast delicious and pool area relaxing. We ate in the main restaurant one evening and it was delicious. Podi's Baba fizz cocktails delicious.
- judith (10/5): What's not to like? - Great location, ambience, furnishings, staff, food, cocktails. Would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a heritage property.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful hotel. Right in the middle of George Town. Night desk manager was not very friendly - not the best greeting to start the trip. There are lots of shallow stairs, corners, and ledges in the room. Not good for clumsy people like us. The front desk staff in the morning were lovely - maybe our stay would have been different if we had dealt with them.
- Siddharta (10/5): First visit to George Town and Seven Terraces - This was truly a memorable stay. It started right from check in with one of the nicest front desk person I have met named Jason. He was very friendly, informative and knowledgeable and checked us in smoothly before taking us up to our room and explaining all the amenities and features. Our room was very spacious as was the bathroom. We didn't use the upstairs lounge but that was also nicely appointed. The parking in just outside the hotel and is in the shade all day. The afternoon year with little nibbles was tasty. The pleasant surprise was the breakfast we had the next morning. I highly recommend trying their versions of Nasi Lemak and roti canai. Truly nice meals. Only regrets were our stay was only for one night and declining an umbrella to use when walking around in the hot sun. You may very well need it if you walked most places like us in the heat.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely hotel, full of character. Staff all delightful. Rooms enormous, and the bed was so comfortable!
- Raghunandhan (10/5): - Lovely rooms, beautifully restored. Very friendly, helpful staff.
- David (8/5): Different in a good way - Distinctive heritage property. Beautiful building, well equipped and individually furnished rooms. Not for you if you like all service places but great for a few days if you like something different.
As many have said, try to get a room the Argus not the Stewart side for noise reasons. The hotel helpfully moved me after one night but better to ask in advance!
- Verified traveler (2/5): - I have not checked in. My booking was for December 24th and the hotel is fully booked. I need my money back
- Tom (10/5): - Terrific hotel in Penang. Beautifully refurbished, with exquisite Peranakan furnishings, large bedroom with separate bath and upstairs living room. Near all of the landmarks and good food in Georgetown,. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Nancy gave us great tips for local food places and touring highlights. Recommend this very highly...especially for the very reasonable room prices.
- Anthony (8/5): - Excellent hotel in terms of room, location and facilities. Very friendly staff imparting good local knowledge of restaurants and things to see.
Breakfast very tasty - went for the barbecue pork buns from local dim sum restaurant, and very impressive wireframe mural in the inner courtyard.
One small complaint which stops me giving top marks. Our room was on a corner next to a pop-up bar which finally closed down around 1am. Very noisy until then and some of the clientele hung around until after 3am before making a very noisy departure.
Not the hotel’s fault but avoid suite 1 if you are a light sleeper like me.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice ambience. You can get onyl breakfast and dinner (not a fully operational kitchen) but no complaints - plenty of places to eat nearby,
- Sam (10/5): - A lovely hotel in the old town. Renovated from a historical building. Very friendly & helpful staff, great Nasi Lemak breakfast. Classy place
- Dina (10/5): - Great Location,very friendly staff and a beautiful hotel.
- Chris (10/5): - A very special small hotel located in the heart of Georgetown heritage area. A row of detelict terraces has been renovated and transformed to make a wonderful modern hotel which retains the design and feel of the original. Huge spacious rooms, a wonderful restaurant, Kebaya, which continues the transformative theme through a menu of traditional dishes given a modern twist. Complementary soft drinks and water as well as the usual refreshments in the room and complimentary afternoon tea with local khuay cakes. Staff provided outstanding service. Nurul at reception was particularly kind and went out of her way to ensure we had a memorable stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great experience at the Seven Terraces - Stayed 2 nights at the Seven Terraces and it was a great experience.
Check-in went smooth and fast. Rooms were spacious, clean, well decorated in a nonya style and bed was comfortable.
There is a breakfast menu to pick from, the options I tried were all very nicely done.
Location is great, the heritage areas are within walking distance (10-15mins walk to most attractions and local food places).
I accidentally broke one of the nice porcelain containers in the bathroom, but the hotel did not charge me for it.
- Glenn (10/5): Seven Terraces Hotel - A magical weekend away : ) - A weekend away with my wife for 3 days. The hotel was a bit of luxurious break before heading towards the Christmas work chaos. The staff were exceptional the room (Argus) was spacious, quiet and relaxing....!!!! The one meal we ate at the in-house restaurant was fantastic, as was the breakfast....!!!! Would definitely recommend and will hopefully go back some day....!!! : )
- Verified traveler (10/5): Outstanding heritage restoration - We had 5 days to explore George Town. The location in the centre of the old town made it an ideal base for our expeditions.
- Ng (8/5): More than satisfied - Locating the hotel was a bit difficult but worth it. The interior was very tastefully done and maintained. It’s just a bit noisy in the late night and early morning with vehicles passing by.
- Florian (10/5): Amazing - Amazing hotel
- Queenie (8/5): George Town retreat - Great hotel in a nice area of George Town. Quiet location, amazing bathrooms and very comfortable space.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Such a beautiful hotel, truly an amazing place. Staff was excellent and extremely helpful throughout my time, wonderful attention to detail. Highly, highly recommend and will be returning.
- Fo (4/5): Beautiful building but no comforts - No wifi, dismal facilities, no hahal menu offerings with no replacement offered. There was also a conference on during our stay and with little decent sound-proofing they did distrupt our sleep, as did the noise from the busy street outside. The pool was very small with floating detritus.
Not for me I'm afraid...
- Verified traveler (10/5): I cannot recommend this boutique hotel more highly - Perfect place to stay - supremely comfortable - perfectly situated in the heritage area of Georgetown - a charming hotel - highly recommended.
Great restaurant & bar attached - charming staff
- Verified traveler (10/5): A true Heritage Hotel. Attentive staff - We read the reviews before booking this lovely hotel in the heart Georgetown. Lovely big room with very high ceiling and separate living area with another bed. The main bed and the second bed both are four poster beds.
Very attentive staff from check in to check out the staff looked after us well.
Special Mention the hospitable Miss Wendy she was a wonderful and caring person took all steps to make our stay comfortable. When we checked out we told her about out late flight. She allowed us to use the facilities and even offered the afternoon tea before we go on the taxi to the airport. Subha at the reception was knowledgable she gave us a quick overview of what to see and where to eat. She booked our van back to the airport and printed our boarding passes
All the room service staff were very responsive and professional. Turn down service was offered several times.
Complimentary soft drinks and water were replaced every day. The rain shower was amazing. The decor was very pleasing.
There were many varieties for breakfast which was served at the beautifully decorated Library
Excellent place to stay to explore Georgetown
- Jenny (10/5): Exquisite place & experience - Id heard a lot of good reports about seven terraces and they are all true. Its a very unique place, the decor in the rooms is lux and the treatment is perfect. We dinned at the restaurant and loved the food. It was well priced and plentiful.
- Richard (10/5): Top Stay - Small boutique hotel with spacious rooms and top restaurant right in the middle of the heritage area of Georgetown.
- Rebecca (10/5): Beautiful hotel in a great location - This was one of our favourite hotels of our trip. It’s in a great location & we were able to walk everywhere in Georgetown. The staff are friendly and attentive. Breakfast was really good each day. Our room was huge and we think it was an upgrade as we didn’t expect a duplex apartment with a balcony & large bathroom. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the lounge area by the pool - perfect after walking around. The only minor downside is that wifi didn’t work well apart from in our room. There is a 24-hour laundry (Ferringhi) nearby. We can also recommend Mish Mash and Georgetown Wines for drinks. Really good inexpensive food can be found at Red Garden. Penang Hill & the habitat are worth a visit. Try to go early & the fast track pass will save you standing in long queues. Taxi vouchers from the airport can be bought for a set fee in the arrival hall. Otherwise ask hotel staff for help arranging taxis & confirming the price. In our experience taxi drivers either didnt use meters or adjusted them to suit!
- Gabrielle (10/5): Beautiful hotel - Beautifully restored heritage hotel. Excellent location, very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Centrally located heritage hotel - Excellent well co ordinated stay by all staff to ensure smooth booking and discharge
- Tan (10/5): Best peranakan heritage home for tourist stay - We book this 5star heritage home through EXpedia flight and hotel package. It turns out much better than we expected.. very courteous and helpful staff who speaks good English. Our package comes with free breakfast set with a wide choice of Asian or western spread. The hotel serves afternoon tea everyday. The lap pool area is cool. Its walking distance to Penang trick museum, Little India and many good food and night street food too. Very convenient. We will definitely come back to stay again next year.
- Jay (8/5): Excellent - Stayed there for 2 nights, had a great time. Staff are friendly and helpful. We stayed in Stewart Apartment and it was well decorated, clean & spacious. Breakfast and teatime cocktail were good but when u in Penang, there are many other places for food. Everything was great just that there’s a bar at the end of the building which could be noisy in times.
- Andrew (10/5): Another great stay at this property - Second stay at this hotel, and we enjoyed our stay even more than the previous time. The property has been lovingly restored and exudes Peranakan elegance. Our room was spacious and comfortable - and the air conditioning in the room more than able to cut through the heat. Wireless internet was reliable, and the thoughtful addition of a box of cables/lead for recharging devices in each room is a nice touch. Despite the fact that this was our 4th visit to Penang the hotel staff at the check-in desk were very helpful in recommending places to eat and visit. The only problem (and I am joking here of course) is that the breakfast is so good that it makes it hard to leave space for all the other delicious food available in Penang .. :)
- David (10/5): Amazing hotel - The hotel was unique and tranquil staff amazing service top notch
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful heritage hotel a real treat to stay. - Stayed here for 7 nights - can’t complain about anything really. Warm welcome on arrival and room was wonderful even if the stairs to the bedroom might have been challenging if you were not very fit!
Staff were so helpful and always willing to have a chat and make your stay more pleasant.
The restaurant attached to the hotel is probably the best restaurant I have eaten in and is a must visit place for anybody travelling to Penang.
If there was one thing that I would comment on is maybe the breakfast was a bit monotonous after the first couple of days . Same fruit salad, same fruit juice and sometimes what was on the menu was not exactly what you got - for example , French Toast with raisins bread - the bread did not have any fruit in it which actually made it quite hard to eat! However these were minor things . The afternoon tea was a lovely touch and a welcome respite by the pool after a hot day visiting the variety of tourist spots located in close proximity.
Defiantly will come back if I return to Georgetown .
- Lanky (8/5): Not wholly successful conversion of old houses - The staff here are exemplary. All our requests were dealt with promptly and exceeded our expectations. The hotel comprises two rows of terraced houses which face each other across an open courtyard. The living room part of your room is on the first floor. There is a lift but as it was at the far end of the courtyard it was quicker to walk up the stairs. Once inside, the bedroom is up another flight of stairs. The furnishings in the two rooms are museum quality and the lighting is used to spotlight the items on the walls. Unfortunately this makes the light for general reading a bit dim. The bed is a four poster and quite short, I am only 5ft 9" but my feet dangled over the end. The air conditioning machines are situated directly opposite where you sit or sleep so the cold air is aimed directly at you. Not very comfortable. The rooms are well equipped. Breakfast was a little disappointing with a limited choice, and an over zealous use of lettuce in hot dishes. Soggy lettuce anyone? The hotel is quiet and well situated for Georgetown's attractions. In my opinion style has been given precedence over substance, which is why the hotel didn't reach a five star rating
- andrew (10/5): Fabulous Staff and Hotel - Outstanding in every way. Staff treat you like Royalty. The hotel is amazing. The decore is fabulous. It’s like living in a Chinese Palace. Resturant brilliant, I cannot praise 7 Terraces enough. Best hotel we have ever stayed in.
- zoe (10/5): Great heritage hotel - Great location in Georgetown although a bit difficult to find. The hotel is beautifully done as a heritage hotel, rooms are very spacious, hotel staff are polite helpful and friendly.
Pool a bit small but that's because of the original layout of the property.
- Stephanie (10/5): - Excellent
- Annie (10/5): - The property is very beautiful and staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
- Peter (10/5): Luxury at an affordable cost. - Quality hotel that takes you back in time to the colonial days.
Restaurant offers Michelin Star quality at a fraction of the cost.
Hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance to so many restaurants, cafes and iconic buildings.
- Ian (10/5): - Comfortable hotel with very attentive staff, nothing was too much of a problem.
