An amazing stay, having visited many hotels in the past including Belmond - I can honestly say this was the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. The location is ideal for exploring Penang (just be mindful for traffic), the breakfast and dining options are amazing and the service and care from every member of staff is as incredible
