Lock in a great price for Macalister Mansion – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Liked the design of the hotel- a mix of old and new. Despite the hotel being in operation for a few years, it is still maintained very well. The room was also full of surprises, in terms of design. We could have spent the entire day in the hotel just lazing around.

The bed & pilows is super comfy! The interior design of the room & bathroom suite was great but could be better. MM Grand Breakfast from the Living Room was delicious too!

Norasfah, Malaysia

Amazing small hotel! Only has 8 suites as part of the mansion. However, they are very luxurious and comfortable!

“Noisy”

- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
I had room 2. This was incredibly noisy, either from traffic or from the staff quarters outside my door. Many staff would stand in the corridor and yell at each other, once close to 11pm. The location isn’t great tbh either.
Cool bar and cafe, interesting rooms.

The cafe would do with a better menu. It is also a waste that the bar by the swimming pool was not in operation.

- • Submitted from a mobile device
- The room was ok but some things need to be improved. i.e Bangs & Olufsen sound system does not support iPhone 5 & above. - Staff (esp at front desk) wasn’t that attentive & friendly towards guests. Wasn’t smile at all when we passed by even when we tried to & made eye contact. - Iron board was faulty. Could have been replaced w/ new one long time ago. - Our room rate comes together w/ breakfast for 2 & I ordered an additional set of breakfast for my 3 y/o daughter from the ala carte menu & willing to pay for it. We found it inappropriate when the staff were discussing & talking about it & to make it worse, we could overheard the whole conversations!
The bed & pilows is super comfy! The interior design of the room & bathroom suite was great but could be better. MM Grand Breakfast from the Living Room was delicious too!

The staff! One of the house-keeping guys was constantly staring at my wife. When we requested for a fresh pair of slippers, they asked us to exchange with the old pair! Which hotel does that! And similarly for other ameneties - we had to EXPLAIN to them on why we want additional ameneties!
