The hotel has a feel of home with personalised, friendly staff who remember the way you like your tea served! The staff were most helpful and quick to fix the (blown) lights and with our luggage.

The stay was so pleasant - the room was large and comfortable, great toilets and bed too. The location is conveniently near the georgetown area so you can take a short walk down whenever.

Macalister Mansion is a really cool place to stay. Each of its only 8 rooms are unique. We stayed in room 3 which was amazing. The bar and lounge areas are quite funky. But dont expect to meet a lot of other guests given only 8 rooms in the hotel.

Fantastic hotel with a nice, spacious and comfortable room. The room is well-maintained and the amenities are luxurious. You get to choose from the different types of pillow provided. We booked Room #2 that has minimum photos on the internet. The room is well furnished and big. We loved the bathroom that is so pretty and spacious too, with the rain shower and tub! The room overlook the swimming pool and makes for a nice morning view!

We spent 2 nights at the Macalister Mansion and loved it. The decor throughout the common areas is spectacular. They have a whiskey and cigar lounge with a great selection if that's your thing, but food in the restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. We didn't get the chance to check out their fine dining option, but I'm guessing it was good too. The bar is a great place to have a drink, and the wine selection is good. Service was excellent, pool was nice, room was delightful, and mini bar was complimentary, what more can you ask for?

Es fehl dem Hotel nur wenig um es als 5 Sterne zu kategorisieren. Der Concierge Service zum Beispiel. Es befindet sich relativ zentral zu den historischen Plätzen. Das Frühstücksraum ist in einem Café-Restaurant, wo man sich einem Frühstück zusammenstellen kann. Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Pool ist ungewöhnlich vor dem Hotel, aber sauber und von Gebäuden umgeben. Insgesamt ein positiver Eindruck.

Hotel ini memiliki staf yang ramah, pertama kali saya datang disambut hangat dan pelayanan resepsionis tidak lama. Kamarnya sendiri cukup luas dan bersih. Harga kamarnya juga terjangkau untuk saya dan keluarga saya. Menu sarapannya juga cukup bervariasi dan cukup enak.

Our stay is extended for another night! I highly suggest this place. Excellent stay! The interior decor, accommodations, and food are all first-rate. The structure is lovely and somewhat colonial. The interior is stunning yet stylish. The rooms are really well-kept, smell fresh, and spotless. Their premier cuisine, by far, has been our highlight. We've had one of the best meals we've ever had. However, the air conditioning needs some improvement because it's a little on the chilly side.

4.6/526 Jun 2022

Very recommended! Excellent stay! The room, cuisine, and decor are all excellent. excellent service is also provided. The structure is charming and charmingly colonial. It has a surprising contemporary but lovely interior. The accommodations are well-kept and smell fresh. Their first-rate dining establishment has probably been our highlight. One of the finest meals we've ever had. However, the air conditioning needs to be turned down because it is a touch too chilly. We've just been extended for another night!

We have only just extended our stay by another night! Fantastic visit! All rooms, meals, and decor are exceptional. Excellent customer service. The building is breathtaking and beautifully colonial. Inside is pleasantly contemporary but tasteful. The rooms are immaculately maintained and smell very fresh and clean. Perhaps their excellent fine-dining restaurant has been our highlight. The meals were among the best we've ever had. The air conditioner could be a little chilly, so you must turn it down.

We just shortened our stay by one night! I highly recommend this place. The building is stunning and distinctly American. The interior is surprisingly contemporary and tasteful. The rooms are very well maintained and smell clean. The restaurant was first class and was our highlight. One of the best meals we've ever had. The air conditioning will be slightly on the cold side, so you should turn it down.

Très bien. Il faudrait juste penser à prévenir que les bus sont gratuits et font le tour de la ville.
