I had a good stay at Spices Hotel in Georgetown, perfect for exploring the historical sites. The decor of the hotel is lovely and charming, creating a relaxing atmosphere. However, the early morning wake-up call from the nearby mosque and a lack of breakfast options were minor inconveniences. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and would gladly return. 🌟

I had a good stay at Spices Hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Georgetown, surrounded by heritage buildings, though being near a mosque meant I was woken by the early morning call to prayer. The room was neat and comfortable, although I missed having a fridge. The staff were very polite and responsive to my needs, making my experience enjoyable overall.
