Vi var på samme hotel for 5 år siden, og ved ankomst fik vi et velkommen tilbage! Meget betegnende for stedet, meget personligt og venligt. Ligger dejlig centralt med gåafstand til rest af byen!

What a peach of a hotel, you're treated brilliantly by all the staff, they cannot do enough to assist you. Breakfast is lovely with a selection of choices, didn't try the restaurant in the evening as was too busy trying the multitude of dining options around George Town. Would highly recommend this hotel.
