Heaven on earth as far as i am concerned - beautiful hotel, friendly and efficient staff - I just cannot wait to go back!

Beautiful location and friendly staff. There was nothing I did not like. Hotel with friendly knowledgeable staff - everything you could ever dream of in 1 location. I cannot recommend this hotel too highly - it will surpass your needs

Date of Stay: August, 2008

This is an absolutely fantastic hotel. Location is excellent (middle of town, right on the sea), rooms are luxurious - beautiful antique furniture throughout, comfy bed, and large bathroom, and the swimming pool and excercise facilities are good. We were upgraded to suite because they had just started a minor renovation and thought that the noise might b e a problem - we didn't hear a thing and we enjoyed the luxury of 2 rooms and a butler! We definitely felt it was worth the splurge to stay in this historic place.

This place is truly "grand." You feel as though you have gone back in time to the 1920's but with the modern ammenities situated so that they do not detract from the ambience or look grossly out of place. The pool is nostalgic so not a giant water park type. The hotel is right on the water but there is no beach front access so not a good choice if you are after beach activity from your hotel. Evening dining in the dining hall (if you did not go to one of the specialty lounges/restaurants) kind of reminded me of the movie "Dirty Dancing" in that people dressed nicely but casually, listened to music while dining and the waiters wore formal attire and served wine/champaigne. It was an elegant atmosphere but yet very child friendly in the food offered and staff attitudes. The evening buffet was so wonderful! Our room was on the ground floor with French doors opening up to the garden area which had some lawn furniture and then it only took about 20 steps to be standing at the edge of the pool. Customer service was probably the best we've ever had. I think that I booked the room online, last minute through Agoda.com. Anyhow, when we arrived, they had no notification of our room or the special rate. Customer service was so good that I never found out what happened (actually suspect it was even my fault) and we were immediately set up in their last available room and given the rate that I said I'd booked the room at (a rate seriously below their normal rate for that room). Classy, historic, cool hotel with great staff & food. I hope to get to stay there again.

The suite I stayed at is spacious, nicely decorated with old fashion furniture together with modern day amenities in the bathroom. I enjoyed the stay and the hospitality of the staff and would definitely make a point to stay at it when I visit Penang again.

This hotel has everything you could possibly wish for - it is a beautiful building, with friendly attentive staff, excellent food and excellent service.

	Date of Stay: October, 2008
It was a warm atmosphere with lovely rooms and great service. Great place to pamper yourself. The rooms are very large and they provide you with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The 24 hours butler service fills in the gaps if there is anything you do need. Would highly recommend.

Large room space. Maintenance of hotel not up to expectation. The overall experience fall short of our expectation although I must agree that the large room area is a great plus. The gym equipments are very old - should be replaced.
