“Lovely stay”
Very close to the hot spots of the city. I love that I can just walk around and not having to rely to Grab or my car. Unique stay for everyone that wishes to experience Peranakan style.

“Wonderful Malaysian hospitality in a beautiful old building still furnished in the old style.”
The hotel has amazing quirky decor and it felt almost like staying in a family home. There were so many reminders of its Peranakan past and some astonishing pieces of furniture, ceramics and pictures to admire. Friendly, attentive service and a super breakfast with an amazing range of Malaysian specialities were a real bonus. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean with plenty of hot water when needed. There was really useful information about local restaurants, and we even had help booking for our first evening when we weren't quite sure of ourselves. There is a small tea shop at the back of the hotel and we were able to buy some wonderful local decaffeinated tea which was delicious. There was generous provision of drinks and snacks in the room and a kettle.

A different type of hotel. Perhaps, hotel is not the right term to describe, museum is the right word. Highly recommended.
