Beautifully designed and great service: "Beautifully designed and great service"

Review by: FrequentFlyerMiles22 | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a really great hotel if you want to experience Asian colonial chic at its best. Breakfast is served in a gorgeous space, rooms are specious and stylish, the location is great, quiet and still good access to SkyTrain - what a special place.

Jing’s Residence: "Good place that you just cannot miss.."

Review by: RudyTeng | Source: Trip Advisor
Do spend time to sit outside of the room, hotel will help to set tea table with sweet stuffs. This is quite different experience that you couldn't get from other 5 star hotels. The only weakness is not many selection from breakfast menu.

tugu bali: "Staying in the middle of art and culture"

Review by: Kristjan K | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We were travelling with three small kids (3,5,7) and Tugu hotel in Canggu was our last stop in Bali after staying in Intercontinental Jimbaran and the villas in Ubud and Lovina. We were looking for something different than the large chain hotels and Tugu hotel turned out to be just the right place. The hotel does not belong to the Small Luxury Hotels, Relais&Chateaux (they do not have any hotels in Indonesia yet?) or Boutique Hotels, so we found it kind of accidentally as our friends had recommended to stay in Canggu area and hotel Tugu is #1 in Canggu. The hotel could easily fit into the quality standards of the small luxury hotels. Although the hotel has a pool, this is not the reason to come to this hotel. There are hotels with bigger and better pools. Tugu hotel is for the guests who love architecture, art and culture, who are excited about original interior design and high quality antiquities and handicraft surrounding at every step: in the room, in the garden and literally everywhere. The service was perfect even on the background of the Balinese being in general polite and friendly. I would like to give special thank you to Pande Dwipa for an excursion in the facilities: Tugu hotel is an exquisite art museum and hotel in one. I can only admire the vision of the hotel owner Anhar Setjadibrata, to share the art he has collected with the guests in his hotels. Tugu hotel is definitely ""worth a detour"", to use a Michelin term. "

Villa Song Saigon: "How Hotels Should Be"

Review by: Groover1964 | Source: Trip Advisor
"A mini break for 4 nights escaping the winter in Perth, Australia. Villa Song lived up to its #1 ranking on tripadvisor. Villa Song is a world class boutique, luxury hotel experience at less than the cost to stay in a country motel in Australia. From the glorious large river room with tall ceilings and colonial touches to the rain shower and crisp white linen the room delivers everything a weary traveller could possibly want. Fast free wi-fi, check. Free mini-bar, check. Free a la carte cooked breakfast, check. Individual coffee maker in room, check. So called 5 Star hotels could do well to introduce some of these features. The staff were polite, helpful and everyone from the pool to the front desk made us feel like welcome guests. The luxury (free) powerboat shuttle into the city is an absolute stroke of genius. A 20 minute relaxing river journey delivers you into the heart of HCMC and rescues you again when you are ready to return. All the convenience of a city centre hotel with none of the noise and chaos. It's hard to fault this place. The restaurant is good if you don't want to explore the other (many) local options, but not as outstanding as the rest of the hotel. If I were to be picky, there is no lift and if you are staying on the top floor, there is an easy 3 flights to help you exercise off your last meal!. I will stay here again, so should you."

Satri House: "Great hotel in peaceful surroundings"

Review by: xavt | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We stayed for a week here.The room was great with large balcony and the gardens contained some beautiful landscaping and sculptures. It is a short, level 10 minute walk to the centre of luanprabang. They have free bicycles for use and cycling is easy and safe.The staff were excellent and wonderfully helpful when one of us was unwell. Breakfast was a real feast with fresh croissant, home made jams,eggs and fresh lao coffee. The pool was long and great to swim in . a very tranquil place to stay."

Rachamankha: "Our Third Stay And It Keeps Getting Better"

Review by: TomBrodehl | Source: Trip Advisor
"The key to this 24 room gem is tranquility and solitude. The owner has this down to a science. The staff are quiet but friendly if you want them to be. The service is impeccable. The Rachamankha is an oasis of calm. Not a good venue for a family with pre teens. We upgraded to a deluxe room this time from a superior room. Was a lovely experience."

Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Remote, beautiful, classy"

Review by: Mark M | Source: Trip Advisor
"Spent a week at this extraordinary beachside resort. Individual wood built houses are served by a central restaurant and bar. The staff were all charming and our fellow guests included Brits, Germans, Dutch, French and USA. It is very quiet, it is hot, it is a place to sit, read, relax and recharge. The massages are super and the food is excellent. Resort management is done professionally and with grace by Massi and Therese."

Tugu Bali: "Luxury Getaway Balinese style"

Review by: panamtravelkid | Source: Trip Advisor
I returned to the Tugu 15 years after my first visit, and it remains a bastian of calm in a sea of tourists who are now expected in Bali. The dark wood and carvings are characteristic of Bali and perfect for someone looking for a Balinese style - not an American hotel. Food and service were top notch and delicious, and I noticed a few private rooms for private functions. We took beautiful pictures on the beach at sunset.

Les Maisons Wat Ko: "Superb"

Review by: OKWhite | Source: Trip Advisor
"Incredibly beautiful place to stay! Even though it is located in a busy town, the cleverly designed garden makes it so secluded and tranquil that one feels that it is in the middle of a beautiful country side. Beautiful! Rooms are wonderful and spacious. But my favourite was the lovely porch where my husband and I spent every night sitting listening to gecko lizards and watching fireflies. It was so beautiful and really heart-warming. Food was really, really good, especially my favourite and one of the restaurants' specialities - the deep-fried frangipani flower! Finger-licking good! Yummy! Really loved it! My husband and I enjoyed the hotel so much that we wish we stayed there longer, it is really worth staying at. Most recommended! "
