Guest Reviews
- Syaheeda Ahmad (8/5): -
- Mod (5/5): -
- Seng Fatt (3/5): - 酒店位置还好。 1.房间太小。
2.大多数时间看不到柜台员工。
3.需要提行李爬楼梯上二楼的客房,对于老人家来说,那是一件非常危险的事。
- Thaarmin (7/5): - It was just as advertised. The room was clean and the check in process was very fast. They even stored my luggage after i checked out of the hotel as i wanted to still sight see before my flight and didnt want to have my luggage with me. There was also a nice patio area on level 2 which was nice for a breather. The wifi was not very strong but still usable.

- Ami Rosmiza (5/5): - good place room too small
- Atek (7/5): -
- Frankel (7/5): Good location but hotel standard should improve. - Location was good. Staff were receptive. Second floor has no elevator. Not conducive for older people. Upgraded my standard room to Deluxe with additional fee. Booked for 9 day stay. On the 8th day, found my room infested with winged termites and it was unbearable to stay even it was for one night. Had termites in my luggage too!
Had to change to another room on the ground floor which was a more satisfactory condition.
In general the location of this hotel is great but they can ramp up with the cleanliness and check for any insect infestations.
- Jonathan (8/5): Very basic hotel room located in Heritage building - Heritage building Not much it was simple and very basic
- Trujillo (7/5): - Location The stuff was not to friendly, I was expecting other things when I saw the pictures
- Vani (7/5): -
- ewe wei (4/5): Below expectation - Looks nice from outside. Provide water. No elevator but they help bring luggage up. They won’t give you two key cards for the room, very inconvenient for us. Room is or look dirty, total white is a bad idea if u are not going clean or maintain it diligently. Some paint peel off at some spots. Staffs not great.

- MIMIE SHAZANA (8/5): -

- A/p thiagarajan (10/5): -
- Emily (5/5): Great location very convenient but very noisy can’t really rest at night. No lift not for elderly - The location is great Very noisy not a good hotel if you wanna rest at night

- Ahmad Riza (10/5): -
- Rozana (10/5): Definetely will come back - Everything Not applicable
- Govindaraju (4/5): Not worth the price and not a comfortable and relaxing stay. - I chose this place to stay because it used to be well maintained, but now it is not maintained as well. However, it is very strategically located, with easy access to food and close to the city. The place is not well maintained. The bed is not clean or comfortable. We had to request a floor mat, extra towels, and a blanket. There is no proper infrastructure, and parking is quite difficult. We had to find paid parking, which costs RM30 per day.
- Fatema (9/5): -
- Kanthasamy (2/5): -
- Jacob (3/5): Good location, otherwise underwhelming - Location Room is a lot smaller than what the pictures present, if you use the shower the bathroom becomes unusable as the floor is super wet (maybe something to scrape the water into the drain should be supplied), walls are also paper thin and could hear everything from outside, including bar music which goes on every day.
- Lucy (7/5): Amazing other than the moths but as soon as we mentioned it we got to move rooms - Nice and homely, comfy bed, clean room and friendly staff We had a moth problem in our room
- Nurul Haziqah Izzati (7/5): -
- Kunnan Antony Jose (6/5): The hotel was located in a prime location for travel to different and nearest places comfortably. - Very excellent and comfortable location for our visits to different sight seeing places including historical places 1. The staircase all the way to the first floor. It was very difficult and painful for climbing the staircase from ground floor and to step down from first floor to the ground floor.
2. A mirror and shelf (small almirah) could have been provided for the comfort and convenience of the guests.
3. The facilities provided the bathroom/toilet could have arranged in a different manner for the convenience of gusts.
4. The water flow in the washbasin was very slow like it takes minutes to get a handful of water for face washing. With the narrow water supply, the shaving, mouth wash etc. was extremely difficult.
- Lim (4/5): -
- Amandine (5/5): - La chambre n'était pas propre en arrivant et meme durant le séjour les employés de ménages passaient mais la chambre n'était jamais totalement propres
- Jun kit (4/5): You get what you paid for - Next to the room there is a convenient store. The value for the room is quite good. The floor have some sand, no slippers. Bathroom have no hooks or someplace to put our dry clothes.

- laurent (9/5): Une ancienne demeure coloniale - Les communs sont un peu dans leur jus mais les chambres bien que petites sont très confortables et plutôt mignonnes. La salle de bain est plutôt originale et ressemblerait plutôt à un aquarium dans lequel on a mis une toilette une douche et un évier les uns à côté des autres mais ça fait le job. Le personnel est absolument adorable et l'emplacement est idéal. de toute façon en Malaisie l'emplacement n'est pas un problème puisqu'on fait des km et des km pour 1€ avec le Uber local (grab) Franchement il n'y a pas grand chose à dire de négatif si ce n'est qu'il ne font pas de petit-déjeuner. je vous conseille d'aller chez GALA juste à côté sur le coin, ils font des petits déjeuners fantastiques et surtout ils sont super sympas
- kay kuan (4/5): - design look ok and walking distant to attraction noise and sound proof is very poor. kaki lima got ppl pass by which make the stay feel unsafe.

- Dominic (8/5): The location is great for my needs. And friendly staff who were helpfull plus good rates. - We enjoyed staying at a heritage hotel which was a good location and well priced. The front rooms facing road are a bit cramped. But acceptable for a sole person.
- Namid (7/5): - Very good location It's hard to sleep through the night, in the evening you hear music from nearby and every morning at 5 you hear the prayer from the mosque
- Tijn (7/5): -
- Dinesh (6/5): onky suitable for 1 pax. 2 cramped up for 2 pax - location room was too cramped
- Chris (10/5): A nice charming place to stay - simple and easy. - Close to many places. Colonial style which I love. Clean and tidy. Great staff.
- Noor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Seritharan (1/5): Bad -
- Burhanuddin (8/5): Very good - Nice interior and clean. The price is cheap. Location middle of the Georgetown. The bathroom is transparent. TV only have 3 channel.
- Frankel (7/5): Good -
- Wan (8/5): Very good -
- Jane (10/5): Great vibe in historical hotel - The staff were helpful friendly and professional. The room was comfortable and spacious. I liked the French doors opening onto the veranda. The location was quiet but literally around the corner from a lively night food market.
- Jessie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ismul (1/5): Bad -
- Piyarat (8/5): Very good -
- Christopher (4/5): Not a boutique hotel - Noisy room facing the road, there is a loud mosque nearby, bed was a mattress laid on a wooden bench.
- Christopher (4/5): Disappointing - Location Noisy room facing the street. Not a proper bed in this room.
- Thiban (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional - Parking side near hotel
- Noor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Muhammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Merve (2/5): Never again - Kamal the receptionist, good guy! Not clean, need to fixed, ants and spiders everywhere, staff that doesnt spreak English,...
- Fazili (9/5): Enjoy my staycation. - Room: Excellent even if it's quite small but just nice for the 2 of us. We are staying at room 103
Location: The location is very strategic, with a lot of food to be enjoyed and just a walk distance only. The only problem is parking, maybe the management could plan something for the hotel guest parking.
- Kok (9/5): Superb -
- Kim (7/5): Good - Beautiful old building in Central location.- plenty of restaurants bars and supermarkets close by. Pleasant helpful staff, quick efficient early checkout. Daily towels and water. Hot water for tea & coffee just outside room. Very small room. TV didn't work. Traffic noise during the night.
- Wellariana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ks (3/5): Poor -
- Chia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nor (6/5): Pleasant -
- Nisha (9/5): Superb - Clean The bathroom dont have a shower curtain as a door is transparent 😂
- Chen (1/5): Bad -
- Devinthomas1 (4/5): Filthy - Don't let the photos fool you. This place is filthy. I emailed days before requesting an early check-in with no response. Upon arrival, I paid extra for early check-in, not a problem. There were no towels in the room and poorly cleaned. I would gladly wait for housekeeping to finish.
Attempted to take an afternoon nap only to be disturbed by children running and yelling down the hall. Upon leaving for a walk, I noticed they booked to an entire family occupying at least 3 rooms, talking with doors open to their rooms as if it is their home. Upon complaining to the front desk, I was told I could only complain about things inside my room.
- Ruan (4/5): The term 'Boutique' does not apply at all to the Southern 'Boutique' Hotel at all with tiny rooms - The Room had good air con hot water but that was all, everything else was very poor The room which was by the side of road was noisy and the lights were not cut out by the blind and the bathroom had a shower that wet the entire bathroom and toilet seat 😳
- Serene (6/5): Pleasant -
- Nur (7/5): Good -
- Ti (1/5): Find somewhere else - No soundproofing. I didnt believe the reviews but man i regretted it. Pay a little more and sleep elswhere. Also had a musty moldy smell throughout and the room was tiny. Looked nice from the outside but inside it was bad. Also weirdly, they will only give you one key which sucked because the room power requires the key to power up. Terrible Staff was kind enough to let me check out 15 min late and the graveyard shift let me back into my room since i had to leave the key in the room for the power for my sleeping wife
- Cassie (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ivan (7/5): It was ok - Location was really convenient and the staff was very friendly The mosque prayers is too loud! The bed is too springy
- Ataide (2/5): Very poor - The hotel facade Window couldn’t close
No hot water at the shower
Staff not friendly
The door locked is broken
No shower rugs
- Low (4/5): Disappointing - The location is convenient The bed sheet and the blanket is not clean. My foot was bitten by mites and the sample picture is definitely not same as the actual one
- Bi (3/5): Poor -
- Emma (7/5): We had a pleasant and comfortable stay with the southern hotel - The room was modern and clean. The location is really great for walking in to George Town and there are lovely bars, restaurants and food courts right on the doorstep. The bed was a touch short (me and my husband are 5.9ft and 5.11ft and our toes dangled off the end).

- Hai (6/5): Pleasant - The location is strategic Room was smelly, window was broken, got mosquitoes
- Kah (4/5): Disappointing - The design is beautiful Can improve on the cleanliness of the room, the toilet especially is almost broken and not in a good condition.
Sound insulation is the worst, u can hear loud and clear from the alley way and outside cars or motor were super loud, ready to get woken up at 5am with a crazy loudspeaker muslim prayer. And also the towels were dirty and old
- Yean (7/5): Good -
