“Everything! I couldn't recommend this hotel any more than it was close to being a perfect stay. Gorgeous stay and even more gorgeous people working there. Everyone was so friendly and helpful there - for example on the last day I was being picked up by a taxi to take me to the airport early in the morning, so they packed up a lovely take away breakfast for me. Also to my delight they left a lovely note saying that they hoped I had a lovely stay with them and to please come back. The staff were like an instant family, definitely the types I just wanted to take with me and was immensely sad to leave behind.”

, United Kingdom

“The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The place is stunning and felt like home at the same time.”

, Malaysia

“The deco of the reception and the room is tastefully done with nostalgic feel. The staff on duty was really friendly and very helpful, he even gave me good advice on transport to the airport and send us to the rooms personally which was a nice touch that you would not get from other hotels. The room and toilet was clean. The room was spacious.”
