An Impeccable Experience That Keeps You Coming Back!
Our three-night stay in the beautiful corner suite was nothing short of perfect. The breakfast selection delighted us daily, especially the fresh local dishes. Dining at 1885 was an exquisite treat, despite minor hiccups in service. Pro tip, make reservations well in advance for peak times!

It was just a great match for a break on a long journey in George Town with good value for money. The cocktail hour with complementary drinks and snacks was a nice surprise after a long day. Try to enjoy the pool area early to get good shade.

We had an amazing time staying with friends! The buffet breakfast was fantastic, and we loved visiting the local art gallery featuring works by Ernest Zacharvic. Don't miss out on the cooking and yoga classes offered here. Just a heads up – some staff could be more attentive during busy times.
Check-in experience was a bit rough. We felt ignored and weren't greeted properly upon arrival.
