"The E&O is Georgetown's premier hotel. It offers travellers an elegant experience from a bygone era of travel. The suite in the victory annex was gorgeous and opened onto an ocean view with beautiful breezes. The breakfast and food were fantastic. The heritage pool is warmer and worth the walk into the older building. The only complaint concerns the mini fridge in the room, which was burned out and kept what would have been lovely cold drinks at a not-so-cold 36C. I reported the matter, and the electrician attended. There was the obligatory shrugging of the shoulders and the very nicely mumbled 'so sorry, no spare fridge' excuse given. Still, it is Malaysia, and you have to expect that. The place kind of works, but in a duct tape and held together with rope kind of way. This was consistent with the electrical wiring in the room, where I had to flick two or three switches to get the bathroom light over the bathroom mirror working. All part of the charm to be honest, as they say in Latin America, mañana (tomorrow). If you want a Singapore exprience, where everything works perfectly, then stay on the airplane for another 90 minutes down to Changi Airport at the other end of the Malacca Straits. I have to complement the General Manager Alison Fraser and her staff, they provide a great experience. I commend you to the E&O and would return without hesitation."
"Cititel is close to a lot of eateries and is in a central enough location to go to other tourist spots. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff at the reception hall was always smiling, pleasant and helpful"
"Our stay at Angsana was truly a stay in Paradise!
From the absolutely amazing breakfast buffet to the luxurious rooms, it was truly 5-star in all aspects. Restaurant staff were always willing to go the extra mile for us, which was so appreciated.
The beach was gorgeous… soft fine sand and the ocean was stunning and so warm.
A huge shout out to our housekeeper, Masum. Our room was so well maintained and he never failed to help when we had questions. His turn-down service was luxury personified. Thank you for making our stay absolutely amazing!"
