"The oldest hotel in KK doesn't need to manufacture character – it fairly drips it, in a dignified if dated way... There's also a very good restaurant, coffee shop, business centre and red London cab." Full review
"A combination of colonial-era charm and a central location make this hard to beat and, as elsewhere in KK, promotional prices are often on offer."
"This hotel—established in 1954—proudly celebrates the city's past with colonial details throughout. ... The central location is this old-timer's best asset." Full review
