United Arab EmiratesWonderful location. Super nice staff. Our king room had a giant window and view of gardens next door which made it nice. Very small room but good use of the space. Tiny cute pool area. Great value.
United States of AmericaNice deco, comfortable bed, clean toilets, awesome location (by non-Malaysian standard, walkable to the Jonker Walk). Overall, it's the perfect weekend getaway hotel for couple.
MalaysiaHelpful and friendly stuff. Facility is clean and nice
MalaysiaThe location of the hotel is good because you can reach the city centre by foot. All the main attractions are at walking distance. The staff is really polite, helpful and always smiling. Room was clean and the design of the hotel is original.
ItalyClean, good location (very short walk from jonker), nice pool
United States of AmericaI fell in love with the concept of the hotel. They have rooms with bunkbeds inside of a caravan and it had a small sitting area outside of the caravan as if you were outdoors doing a picnic. The hotel staffs are just lovely and super helpful. The regular rooms are so cute and really love the layout.
IndonesiaIt's in the middle of town & everything is of walking distance, especially to the Stadthuys. And from there, you can go to any local attractions.
MalaysiaLocation is nice, 5 minutes walk to Dutch square! Inside at a quiet alley.
TaiwanWe stayed in the garden suites coming with Jacuzzi. We love the Jacuzzi experience, and the bed and the pillow is too comfy to wake up. The greenery view is great.
