“The ambience, the sophisticated, cosy lounges, the perfect decor, the free laptop with internet access, the thoughtful slices of cake every evening, the generosity of the owners who allowed me to purchase and enjoy a bowl of soup noodles from the street vendor across the road, the very generous and delicious breakfasts, the friendly and helpful staff and last but not least the gourmet, delicious Italian dinner we had at their restaurant, Il Bacaro.”

, United Kingdom

“Loved the entire experience. Friendly staff, beautiful room and nice breakfast.”

, Singapore

“We love heritage done well, and this property is excellent - no stone left unturned to create a gorgeous room (Indochine) full of beautiful Asian artefacts, as though you are in a previous century. The exquisite staircase, the breath-taking library, paintings, need I go on? Soft fluffy mattress, fridge with accompaniments, nest of pillows, AND a rain shower. Old wooden floors ( or new to look old) a thing of real beauty, and the old(?) coloured bevelled window panels and plantation shutters. Nothing has been forgotten, to take you back to another age We are locals, and our night was celebratory, just come into town and stay a night, you will be taken away to a gentler era, a salutary experience. Congrats to all those involved in the care of this amazing property.”
