    The colonial architecture of the building incorporates modern elements without eliminating the old charm, making it a unique and visually pleasing experience.

    Hair shavings all over the sink.

    The hotel's location is fantastic, with numerous eateries, shops, and bars just a short stroll away. guests can hear the first prayer at the nearby mosque. the rooms are neat and tidy, and the hot shower is excellent and has good water pressure.

    The hallways are not soundproof, causing disturbances at night from any noise in the hallway.

    Eastern Hotel was clean, comfortable, and wonderfully located. We were just a short walk away from must-visit places like Little India and amazing food spots. the staff members were kind and helpful, even going out of their way to assist with an early check-in. the room had a beautiful aesthetic and the bed was extremely comfortable. We also appreciated the option to rent scooters nearby for exploring the island. a great experience at Eastern Hotel Georgetown. Cons: Don't have any issues at all. 🤷‍♀️.

    The room we stayed in was small but cozy, and the bed was comfortable. We appreciated having a plug point near the bed for convenience. The hotel's location was great, within walking distance to many attractions and a night food street. The staff at the concierge were helpful and gave us recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The hotel had a beautiful foyer, perfect for taking OOTD pictures. The bathrooms were clean and had all the basic necessities. Despite some drawbacks, we had a generally good experience at Eastern Hotel Georgetown.

    This hotel offers great value for money with its affordable prices and attention to detail. Its central location next to a mosque allows guests to experience the vibrant city atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the basic amenities are well-maintained. The rooms, although not soundproof, provide a cozy and comfortable stay, especially those on the ground floor overlooking the inner patio. The breakfast offered is also a highlight, ensuring a satisfying start to the day.

    Had a cozy Christmas stay! Loved the two complementary drinks on arrival and the free breakfast each morning. the hotel is perfectly located, right in the heart of the city near tons of great places to eat and visit. I especially enjoyed walking to all the historic landmarks nearby.

    The room itself was a bit small and noisy. I could hear street noise at night, and the bathroom wasn't the cleanest.

    The room initially met our expectations for the price we paid, and the location was convenient for exploring the city. The hotel had a unique look which was eye-catching and it was a good affordable option for our city trip.

    The noise from neighboring businesses and the call to prayer from the nearby mosque were disruptive to our sleep. the air conditioning in our room was not functioning properly and we were moved to a smaller room with a less desirable view.

    For my recent stay, the hotel's location was perfect for me since I did not have a car. This city is known for incredible food options and Eastern Hotel Georgetown had many restaurants within walking distance, making it very convenient. Additionally, the hotel is located right in the center of Chulia street making it close to many attractions and touristic places nearby.

    Everything was fantastic.
