Incredibly unique property that used to be an old herb shop now tastefully refurbished into a boutique hotel. They kept all the old stuff from years past on display, and while it had modern amenities it still maintained that old charm. Highly recommend!

Loved it.

A lovely experience in a restored guest house, with generous and kind owners. An actual 'heritage' place, unlike other hotels claiming the same. Highly recommended if you want to stay in the UNESCO heritage zone. Also the food in the cafe was so delicious!

Historic inn in Little India

Loved this hotel. It's an old historic building impeccably and sensitively remade as lodging, with the character lovingly preserved. Delightful, interesting breakfasts. Good bathroom. Great staff, very helpful. We also had the best meal of our Georgetown stay in their cafe, and that's saying something. Located in the most vibrant section of town, with all the color and flavors of India right outside your door. We had a wifi router right in our room, and good AC as well as a ceiling fan. Perfect for anyone who loves history and doesn't mind climbing steep wooden stairs.

Tranquility of the accommodation despite the hustle and bustle of the streets! :) Very quiet rooms that allowed us good nights’ rest. The hosts were the best! If you need advice on which room best suits your needs, you can contact the hosts. The staircase may not be young children/ elderly/ pregnant lady friendly but the quaint preservation of it certainly adds flavour to the well conserved building.

Historic hotel oozing with charm and character

We absolutely loved our stay here. At first we weren't sure if we were entering the lobby or an antique shop but once we were inside we were greeted warmly, our suitcase was whisked upstairs using an ingenious rope pulley, and we were immediately immersed in a place where every single piece of decor was clearly carefully considered to fit within the antique style. Despite the old school surrounds, there were modern comforts like air conditioning, and every part of the hotel was also spotlessly clean (while retaining character). We stayed in a family room with our 2 kids aged 7 & 9, and there was plenty of room for the whole family. We had our own room with a door, while the kids had two single beds in the wider area. I especially appreciated their efforts to reduce their environmental impact by serving filtered water in glasses, even their bins were lined with old newspaper instead of plastic bags. If you stay here, make sure you have at least one lunch or dinner at the cafe downstairs, it was so delicious and packed with local flavours. Their breakfast selection was also surprisingly wide and super tasty, including nonya desserts and roti which my son loved. Location couldn't be better, you're a short walk from all of Georgetown's attractions. Overall I think we enjoyed our stay here more than our beach resort. If you see this hotel has availability, I urge you to book immediately, it's a real gem.

Glad I chose to stay here. My room was spacious, cool, and very comfortable. The noise from the street is significant but thankfully it’s quiet at night. The ambiance is unique. The staff is genuinely kind. But they need to break out the paint brushes because some surfaces, especially in the bathrooms, are pretty funky. I’ve stayed at campgrounds and hostels with nicer, hotter, showers :)

歴史ある建物を上手に活かした宿泊施設で、古き良きジョージタウンを宿泊することで感じられた気がする 1階土間の部分で靴を脱ぎ，裸足のまま古い階段を登って部屋に行く 部屋の扉はオートロックでカードキーに変わっていて，セキュリティも安心できた 窓などは古いままのつくりで、ロックの仕方もおもしろかった 宿の方々はとても親切で、滞在中観光や食事について色々相談にのっていただいた 次にジョージタウンを訪れることがあれば，ぜひ宿泊先として考えたい

かつて中華系の薬行をしていた家屋をリノベーションした宿。素材は古いが、うまく改築されているので、かつての住人の気持ちを追体験できる。わたしにとって最初の宿泊がこうした歴史にすこしふれられたのが嬉しかった。 風通しのよい中庭から最上階に設置された通路を登ると、昔風の屋根と家並の広がり、そして入道雲が見えた。朝食は素朴だがおいしいトーストやフルーツをのんびりながら印象深い時間を過ごすことができた。 歩いて5分ほどでフリーバスCATの乗り場があり、これがバスセンターのようなコムターに行くので、とても便利

Great place to stay

Amazing! Very well maintained heritage building. Extremely friendly and helpful staff Uma! They use a pulley to pull luggage to upper floor - fun to watch and practically useful. Complimentary breakfast was tasty. The lunch and drinks at the cafe were also tasty and clean, we enjoyed a lot when hiding from the hot sunshine at noon time. Side note: stairs are steep due to traditional design, maybe challenging for elderly. Expect to take off shoes before going upstairs to room. Not a concern for us.
