    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!

    cocktail hour
    comfortable bed

    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.

    delicious breakfast
    art gallery
    friendly atmosphere
    poor check-in experience

    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.

    amazing breakfast

    fantastic spot for city exploring and park relaxation

    The staff were incredibly caring and the breakfast on the balcony overlooking the straits was so enjoyable, making our mornings feel extra special while we soaked in the amazing views and atmosphere. Plus, the infinity pool was a treat after our daily walks through iconic places like Cheong Fatt Tze, just a short stroll away, and the beautiful Padang Kota Lama park, perfect for unwinding after sightseeing.

    The room was absolutely stunning with a wrap-around balcony that offered breathtaking views of the sea and shoreline.
