The hotel is conveniently located in Georgetown, perfect for exploring the heritage town and within walking distance to eateries. The rooms, while initially small for our group, were changed to a slightly larger one by the helpful staff; however, noise from the street could be heard in the early mornings. The service was friendly, but the loud early morning conversations were a bit intrusive. The dining options were satisfactory with affordable street food nearby. Overall, a good value for money stay in a central location.

The hotel has a small door that opens up to the walkway next to the main road, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my request for a larger room. While the initial room was super small, they managed to change it to a slightly larger one. However, the third room provided was the worst, not meeting expectations.

The hotel provides modern and very unique rooms where the shower room is in a glass box with curtains for privacy. While the room was a little small, it didn't meet my expectations in terms of size. I had to use ear plugs to combat the noise. The location is great, within walking distance of famous places in Georgetown, but the rooftop garden area was noisy due to constant foot traffic and door slamming.
