Excellent staff, right from the doorman to the concierge to housekeeping and the restaurant fellows and excellent at managing guests.

Krishnamurthy, India

Everything. It’s an amazing British old hotel. Fantastic.

Jonathan, Hong Kong

Some of the older staff are charming. Denzil Washington looked after us very well and recommended a visit to the Botanical Gardens which are exceptional. The rooms are a bit old-fashioned but are spacious. Breakfast is very varied and changed a little each day.

Andy, United Kingdom

The staff was kind and welcoming. Food at breakfast and dinner was nice. Nice pool area, although the water in the pool was too cold for December weather.

Linen and furniture feel dated, and the lift feel rather rickety. Otherwise the place is good.
Room was very spacious and but some of the furniture are slightly dated. Bathroom appear to be recently renovated, It was clean and well appointed. Staff were exceptionally friendly and supportive.

“Avoid this hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The hotel is in dire need of refurbishment. The beds are uncomfortable, the rooms aesthetically unappealing with stained chairs and broken fixtures, bathrooms cramped and dirty, view nonexistent. Avoid the restaurant, the food is below average and the beer is (very) overpriced. The service (with the exception of housekeeping) was confused & vaguely rude. The fading colonial facade of the building can only carry it so far...
The building itself still retains glimmers of its former glory; the dining room is impressive as is the bar. The pool area has a sort of bleak charm. Rather than staying though, maybe just stop by for a drink.

The hotel is in a charming colonial building which is unfortunately not well maintained (in desperate need of refurbishment).
The pool is great. Architecture is fascinating. Rich breakfast with waffles and all.
