Amata Lanna: "Great boutique hotel"
My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights. We loved the personal experience of staying in a smaller, boutique-style hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we were always greeted with a smile. The room was large, traditional Lanna style with a very spacious bathroom. The daily breakfast was a fairly small selection but delicious and still something for everyone (cereal, toast, eggs, bacon, Asian-style porridge etc). We would definitely recommend staying here.Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Wonderful stay"
This is a wonderful hotel to stay at - staff are superb and friendly. Food is excellent - very tasty (the best food we had in Laos) and just the right sized portions. Room is very good and the only criticism we had is that there was no shower screen but it really didn't need one. Shame about the pool being out of action whilst we were there but Raphael compensated us well for that problem.Rachamankha: "We had a perfect time!"
"Perfectly romantic for our Honeymoon. Great service (booking tours, printing documents needed...) Very good breakfast (fewer items but all very fresh) Gorgeous architecture, amazing swimming pool, great location to explore the old city on foot or by tuc tuc. Can´t remember any downside of this place"Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Magical Place, Living History"
"This was the second time at CFTM. The last was 15 years ago, and it was a much smaller operation (I don't believe the backyard and pool were in operation back then and it had fewer staff), but it has lost none of its charm. The house itself is absolutely magical, a perfectly restored and preserved piece of Penang history, and it's an amazing privilege to be able to stay there. The staff are wonderful, and little touches like personal notes and gifts of sweets make the stay even more charming. I will make a point of staying here every time I come to Penang, and I will be back a lot sooner next time. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"The Village House: "Lovely Place, PEACEFUL!"
Booked for 1 Night for my propose day, is a great place especially you want to do nothing by just relaxing and enjoy the day..very friendly staff, romantic and quiet as well. surrounding are nice but a bit lack of light at night at the backyard. by the way, i have to give extra credit about the pool.Amata Lanna: "Stunning oasis near old toen"
"I cannot say enough about the beauty, tranquility and service provided at Amata Lanna Village. Everything about the place was excellent. Especially noteworthy, the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Before we left, the manager (we think it was the manager) even traveled to get us coffee at the farm because it was the best coffee available. The location was decent. It was an easy tuk tuk or cab ride to town. There was a small market nearby and coffee too but hours for the coffee shop (off site) was not predictable. My only complaint was that the walls to the bathroom had decorative cut outs so privacy was limited. It didn’t matter to us as a couple. Do not hesitate to book this place!"Maduzi Hotel: "Good value"
Great value hotel, decent service, quick check in. Location ok have sukhimvit or thonglor in easy distance. Free mini bar for all soft drinks. Breakfast was included and pretty decent. My only comment would be the coffee and front gate welcome wasn't great.SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Ort der Harmonie und Gaumenfreude"
Ein Ort der Harmonie in der Metropole Yangon. Zum Wohlfühlen und sich verwöhnen lassen. Liebevoll gestaltet. Jeder Gang des Menues 5 Element erfreute und verwöhnte unseren Gaumen. Ein aufmerksamer und ambitionierten Service verwöhnte uns. Lucia ist angenehm präsent, Felix Episser sieht man in der offenen Küche. Die architektonische Gestaltung ist sehr ansprechend, leicht, luftig, harmonisch, mit Kerzenlicht sehr romantisch und auch verbunden mit Myanmar. Ein absoluter Geheimtip (noch!) für Liebhaber der Sterne-Küche. Es empfiehlt es sich vorab zu reservieren.Villa Song Saigon: "Brilliant"
Stayed for two nights at the beginning of a two-week trip through Vietnam, and it couldn't have been a better start. The hotel and its location are spectacular. Nice airy room with a small balcony overlooking the river. Amazing staff, fantastic breakfasts and lovely dinners right by the riverside. The shuttle boat drops you off right downtown and picks you up again. Absolutely perfect!Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Most memorable experience"
From the moment we arrived here, we knew we'd be experiencing something very special. We felt privileged to be staying in such a sensitively preserved example of 19th century local architecture and absorbed as much as we could of the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful decor. We felt warmly welcomed by staff throughout our stay and they were so helpful in communicating with us and returning items we’d left behind in our haste to catch a flight. Personal touches to our rooms were a delight and looking back at our trip to Malaysia this summer, we all agreed our stay in Georgetown – and indeed the Cheong Fatt Tze (Blue) Mansion – was the highlight to our holiday.
