... unfortunately we took the double deluxe room with view on the street, so the first night we weren't able to sleep because of all the noise (cars, motorcycles, people talking, at all hours of the night). After checking other reviews on trip advisor we asked to be relocated to another room that gave onto the inner courtyard, but unfortunately... More

Two of us (in separate rooms) stayed here on business for over two weeks. The staff were fantastic - really nice people as well as helpful and interesting; they made our stay! First, let's be clear - this is not a modern hotel. This is a restored old family home/shop (hence 'heritage'). If you are looking for all mod cons... More

This beautiful little Guesthouse is located right in the heart of Georgetown. The staff was very friendly, everything was within walking distance. The best bed I have had so far in Southeast Asia. A true Gem.

The building was a very lovely restored shop house with a lot of character. It's also in a convenient location for walking around Georgetown. Clean and staff were friendly and helped us with planning things to do. Unfortunately, the first two nights, we were put in a room at the front above the street, which was very loud and made... More

Superb period building, very nicely decorated, room was clean with nice touches (coffee, tea, water, slippers, toothbrush & paste). Outstanding staff who always ask how your stay is going and if you need anything else. Great filling breakfast. I didn't have any other meals at the restaurant, but did have a nice glass of wine! And when I asked for... More

located in the 5 min walking distance to the centre, surrounded by many authentic tcha places and cafes, the Cintra Heritage is a must for anyone who loves spacious rooms with a twist of antique and authentic local interiors mostly designed in woods. It's worth paying couple of Ringgits more to get larger rooms with three large windows and Venetian-like... More

This place needs glass windows. Stayed there last weekend and unfortunately we got the noisy rooms facing the street. Yes rooms 202 and 203 at a discounted rate, guess that's why they were giving a discount. Wooden window panes do not shut out noise from the street and many people drove by from midnight till 3am. We made a request... More

A cosy warmth spreads through this small heritage house, from the moment you check in with the friendly reception to the woody furniture and homely atmosphere that pervades within the compound. Located in the heart of Georgetown, it was easy to walk almost anywhere and good food not too far away with plenty of choices. Our room on the 2nd... More

We wanted to stay in a heritage house in the heart of Georgetown. Cintra Heritage House did not disappoint. Our first night we were in a double suite at the front of the building. The noise of vehicles, particularly motorcycles woke us up very early in the morning. A mention to the front desk and we were moved to a... More

We booked into this hotel as it was offering a great price. It is next to Chulia Street and fairly convenient place to reach. Lots of good food places located close by. Quite close to bus stops and within walking distance to other locations (KOMTAR, Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Chowsrata). The decor was traditional and the hotel presented as a... More
