Location is great but the bed was uncomfortable. The mattress was HARD not just firm and the pillows had no support. Breakfast was cold and lacking. But the location is great to walk around Georgetown.

It is a beautifully renovated, small hotel in the heart of the UNESCO heritage area of Georgetown, within walking distance to lots of dining options and interesting sites. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast and the small gift were lovely too. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay. Thank you!

The numbers of room in the hotel are small and its chic. One thing though the hotel could install an elevator for seniors' connivence of movement due to steep staircase, particularly when moving luggage up and down the staircase. All and all the hotel get my full marks.

Excellent Boutique Hotel

What a Charm, beautiful boutique hotel. It has a total of 8 rooms, spacious, clean and comfortable. In the centre of the old George Town. Walking distance to attractions, lots of restaurants nearby. Breakfast is simple but enough. Don't miss it, highly recommended

It was ok…old hotel in the heart of Georgetown. Staff were great in efforts to make you comfortable while staying there. Beds a little hard and staying in the old town is maybe good for a night but we stayed 3 nights.

This was a cute, rustic, safe hotel right in the middle of historic Georgetown. We ordered a ride through the hotel which never came. Everything was fine at the hotel except wifi was terrible. I spoke to the front desk and they have 4-5 wifi you can tap into but in the 36 hours we were there two of us could never get on. So if you're planning on wifi, it's not recommended here. Our room was smaller than an average small hotel we are used and it accesses the lobby/dining area. Maybe not for a long stay but otherwise everything else was fine.

The hotel presents as a preserved nyonya style building. It has beautiful nyonya style tiles and decor. The internal courtyard is enclosed with a mobile roof and very pleasant to sit. Staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. Beds were comfortable and the shower had an electric hot water heater. It was clean.
