"beautiful little heritage hotel well-located in the heart of georgetown. stayed 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. rooms: tastefully decorated and spacious. there were separate sleeping and sitting areas, which we appreciated. saw many reviews about the noise situation but we thought it was perfectly fine — there were soundproofing curtains which were very effective, not sure if they're a recent addition. building: interesting architecture, colonial look with peranakan influences, i...

Eastern And Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is faultless. Clean , well equipped, great location, spacious rooms, excellent dining and great staff."

Victoria Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was very pleasant overall. The room was comfortable, well-equipped, and met all expectations for a typical hotel stay. Everything worked well, and the bed was comfortable, which made for a good night’s rest. The breakfast was excellent and very abundant, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The only minor downside was that there were some hairs in the bathroom and a few around the room, which slightly affected the initial impression. Other than that, everything was great and I would consider staying here again."
