The hotel is ideally situated for exploring with convenient transportation and proximity to various tourist attractions. The rooms need some renovation and additional basics to enhance comfort, even though they offer all modern amenities and a small balcony, perfect for morning tea. However, the dining options are below average and can be improved. The service is attentive but lacks in some basic training areas, though it covers various essential amenities, making the stay convenient overall.

The hotel has old rooms that need refurbishment, but they maintain an antique look with modern amenities. The long verandah outside is a nice touch, though my room lacked a working AC and had a cockroach. The service was extremely helpful, with staff accommodating our requests promptly. The location is excellent, close to attractions and eateries, although the dining options were limited and led us to try a different property. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

The hotel offers a mix of greenery providing shade and a light breeze, making it a comfortable stay despite the unready room. The wooden furniture adds to a welcoming feel, but the clutter and uncomfortable bed are a downside.

The hotel is located in the charming White Town, offering a unique experience. The rooms are stunning with intricate wooden carvings but might not be suitable for those unable to navigate Art Deco style. The service is polite and cooperative, ensuring a pleasant stay overall. The location is excellent, just minutes from the beach and close to lovely cafés and churches. The dining experience is good overall, but there were some concerns with cleanliness in the courtyard. Overall, a heritage property with exceptional features but some aspects to consider.
