It was a wonderful place and fantastic design. The service is wonderful with yummy breakfast. I enjoyed walking around the hotel, watching the antique decoration and reading the books. If you like antique and design, do not miss this place.
Excellent Location, near to eateries, spas and taxis. Feels like a boutique hotel. Needs some upkeep as some parts of the hotel look weathered. BUT the service and amenities make up for it all. The rooms are well equipped, have balconies and are clean. The pool is rather small, but nice. The breakfast is grand and very satisfying. There are bikes available and lots of DVDs to choose from when your in for the evening. The service, however, was what will bring me back. There was a 'miscommunication' over the price of the hotel. BUT the staff handled the situation admirably and professionally. They worked very hard to make our stay enjoyable. We were four, two adults and two children, and always fest comfortable. The staff arranged a tourfor us, as well as worked with a vegetarian diet. A very good choice for all!
We had a landing with 2 rooms all to our family of 6. It felt very homely & extremely comfortable.
This was a gem of a find. It felt like home but with all the amenities of a hotel.
When we chose to stay in, there'd be tons of DVDs to choose from their extensive library to watch, a 'tea' corner to help ourselves to cookies, a cuppa and tropical fruits. There is also a guest desk-top to web browse.
The kids had a blast exploring the grounds & nipping to the ground floor corner to find the resident toad (?) which croaked real loud each night :) this isn't a complaint since the children didn't mind the croaking!
Two things - 1. the pub music at nights can be quite loud. Yet the children slept without problems (they are 3,5,7 and 9 years of age); 2. the air-conditioning -I didn't prefer as it blasted warm & cool air intermittently. But it have been that I didn't know how to adjust the control
:( adequately.
Two other things - 1. breakfast was interesting everyday just coz we got to choose how we liked it. Every breakfast was abundant and came with fresh fruits, chinese donuts (yau char guai) dipped in condensed milk (first time we ate it this way and it was addictive!) and desserts (Thai coconut jelly or coconut tartlets or fig rolls - whatever took the fancy of the cook that morning really). Don't choose the sausage option though - not the best quality sausage - even the kids say so; 2. The mattresses were oh-so-firm and comfortable. My back never felt
Rooms and decor are great......but something seems to be lacking. I think they need to decide whether they're a B&B or a hotel.......and in the dry season they should maybe have the pool in operative order? Seems very expensive compared to all the other options available in the city.
Not too large place so they can provide very good service and not crowded. Though, it places nearby Monkey pub, I can sleep well. Moroccan style room but not messy. There are many DVDs to let in hotel. Small swimming pool. Many choices of breakfast and enough, though, a la carte.
