Old World Luxury
Stayed one night in the E&O. Great room, comfortable bed, all amenities. The aircon was brutal and was the only time I felt cold (but I’m from Scotland so that was a good thing!). Staff were lovely and the food was great. Location overlooking the sea, at the edge of the historic old town was perfect, as I’d arranged a food tour. Nice touch was free soft drinks in addition to free water but I didn’t take any. One slight complaint - the fridge smelled a bit - I suspect a previous guest had smuggled in durian, despite the warnings.
