The whole hotel was just so lovely, from the large room to the amenities and the bar and restaurarestaurant srestaurarestaurant
An absolutely fantastic hotel. We stayed in the heritage wing and found the staff wonderful, the food delicious and the room kept clean and tidy. We will be returning to this gem.
The hotel is beautiful and the room is spacious and well decorated. The staff is friendly and attentive. I also tried the spa facilities and the message was excellent.
Always love to stay in this hotel. The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcome your stay. Enjoyed the Breakfast buffet at Sarkies esp roti canai, char kyaw tiau, and the juices.
The room and buildings were beautiful. The service varied. Sometimes very good, sometimes stand offish but professional. The service at the poolside was a bit rude. Our request for napkins when we received some food was met with eye rolling for example. The food was 3/5. One exception was the afternoon tea which was wonderful.
We love this heritage hotel!
So much space, well maintained. Love the sea view too! Good location,easy to grabcar to many spots. The breakfast is also fabulous! Will stay here again if we return
Rooms were large and nicely appointed. Breakfast excellent. Staff very good. My stay was in Victory but friends stayed in Heritage and got a lot of add ons I didnt have access to. Overall a very pleasant experience.
Colonial style hotel with very nice staff and views. Spacious clean rooms and large bathroom. Buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. Love the atmosphere and the location.
