SingaporeFabulous. The most elegant and luxury hotel in South-Asia. It has the longest seaside front and walkway in the world. From the room's terrace, the view is fantastic. There are two option for breakfast: for western guest and a huge international cuisine.
HungaryBeautiful hotel, lovely room and great service. I particularly enjoyed the (free!) minibar replenishment every day. Breakfast very tasty too with huge variety of options. Great bathroom, bath filled very quickly.
United KingdomBeautiful room, pool, hotel spectacular breakfast very good also
AustraliaExcellent all round - we had a sute in the Heritage Wing, rather more expensive than the Victoria Annexe but well worth it. Nespresso machine in room AND a choice of four loose-leaf teas, so good compared to the usual tea-bags in hotels! Room beautifully equipped, excellent bathroom with huge bath, two washbasins/vanity units, and excellent walk-in shower. View over swimming pool and sea. Heritage Wing rooms include choice of breakfast in the wing or two alternatives in Victoria Annexe. Evening drinks and canapes included. All in all, a good stay. Particular mention of wonderful help from Rita in reception following an accident sustained by my husband as we walked in Penang when she dealt with the complications of our having to change travel arrangements as a result. Thank you Rita!
United KingdomStaff were very professional and flexible in terms of check in and check out time. Furthermore, the hotel provided more than enough toiletries and the turn down service was well received. During the evening cocktails staff were very attentive and friendly. Since the renovation of the Heritage Wing, the hotel has been restored to its former glory and we would be very happy to return there more times in future.
