Gomathi Malaysia

I loved everything about this well located, aesthetically pleasing heritage hotel! It does indeed feel like staying in a museum, but one with all the modern amenities. The room was simple, but immaculately clean with a modern bathroom and shower stall, including toiletries. There is a lovely little dipping pool off the side of the restaurant where you can sit in a lounger and enjoy the sunshine with a book and a coffee or drink. Though I didn’t visit it, there is also a bar adjacent to the lobby area and a lovely rooftop lounge with some great views. The staff were wonderfully kind and the hotel offers transport to the airport for a very fair price. Would highly recommend this hotel to any traveler to beautiful Georgetown!
