I had a good stay at Cintra House. The hotel's charming design and fantastic location made it easy to explore Georgetown. However, my sleep was occasionally interrupted by nearby bars and festive firecrackers during my visit. Overall, this boutique hotel is good value for money! 😊

I had an overall decent stay at Cintra House. The location is fantastic, situated right in the heritage area and close to many attractions. However, noise from a nearby pub and some maintenance issues in the room made my experience less than perfect.

Rooms

7.0

The Deluxe Triple Room I stayed in was reasonably clean, though it showed signs of poor maintenance (like a leaking bathroom). I appreciated the comfort of the bedding but noticed it lacked a glass window which was disappointing.

Service

6.0

Check-in could have been smoother since I was initially charged incorrectly due to being assigned the wrong room. Once sorted out, the staff were friendly enough, but that initial confusion was a bit frustrating.

Location

8.5

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the center of old town George Town. I was able to walk to many cafes, restaurants, and attractions with ease, which really enhanced my trip.

Dining

Breakfast was simple but lacked variety. The first morning, I enjoyed scrambled eggs and sausages, but the second day was just plain fried noodles. I wish there could have been some more options.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were minimal but adequate for my needs. I had to bring my own amenities like soap, and I did notice that the floorboards were quite thin, which made walking around upstairs pretty loud.

I had a unique experience staying at Cintra House, thanks to its excellent location near many attractions and amazing food options. The heritage building's charm and vintage furniture added character to my stay. However, I did face some challenges. including maintenance issues in the bathroom during my first night, which were promptly addressed.

The boutique hotel offered basic amenities like air conditioning and an air purifier, which I appreciated during the hot weather. However, some facilities felt quite dated, like the TV which was mainly good for playing music, and the limited availability of adaptors.

My stay at Cintra House was quite pleasant. The location was perfect for exploring George Town, but some aspects of my room left a bit to be desired. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff truly made up for the minor inconveniences I faced, though. Overall, I’d recommend it for its charm and strategic location.

I stayed in a Deluxe Single Room. It was cozy and comfortable, and I slept well during my visit. The antique ambiance added a nice touch. However, the lighting wasn't particularly bright, and I did experience some creaking noises from the wooden floors above. The room could benefit from a few modern updates, like a newer TV.

Cintra House is ideally located in the heart of George Town, making sightseeing a breeze. It’s just a short walk from vibrant places like the food markets and charming street art. It’s positioned nicely away from the noise of the main street, allowing for a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.

Breakfast options were decent. I enjoyed some pastries and refilled on coffee and tea at the 24-hour service station. The banana cake was a personal favorite. While the selection was simple, it satisfied my morning cravings.

The amenities were sufficient for my needs. I appreciated the air conditioning, especially in the hot weather, and the availability of an air purifier was a bonus. However, there could be more hairdryers available as only one was provided for our three rooms.
