Spices Hotel

Staff are very helpful and friendly, they explained before my arrival the mosque is loud. They didn’t lie it is very loud, definitely need to bring earplugs. Beds nice and comfy, bathrooms nice and modern but theirs a good few things letting the place down that could be easily corrected. The doors and walls are all so dirty, it is almost a hostel kind of vibe. Also tons of dust beneath my bed as if it hadn’t been moved or cleaned in months.

Service: Super friendly and welcoming staff. Called for an adapter, and they provided friendly —really appreciated the quick service! Room: The loft was spacious and comfy, with two beds and a clean bathroom. AC and fans worked great, but the noise from the square made it relatively hard to sleep at night. Location: Perfect spot, just steps away from Armenian Street. Lots of cool cafes, restaurants, and shops close by. Conclusion: Great value for money! Just ask for a room away from the square if you're a light sleeper.

The cleaning service is extremely poor. The coffee cup I drank in the morning was not cleaned when I returned to the hotel in the evening. I complained, but it was still the same the next day. The shower water pressure was very very low, and there were a lotSSSSS of mosquitoes. The terrace faces the Mosque, and the Mosque will play a loudspeaker to call for prayer at 6 am every morning.

The room I got was other ground floor and tastefully furnished. The staff are super nice and the lobby is quite a comfortable lounge as well. The location is great for walking to most places in the old town (including two great bookstores Areca and Hikayat). The main problem is that there isn't enough ventilation, so you have to keep the fan, bathroom light (and vent) and air conditioning going almost at all times. I opened the room door whenever I could to get a bit more airflow, but personally I didn't sleep that well as a result of the air. Note to sensitive sleepers to bring ear plugs as there are calls to prayer close by. Would also recommend to the staff to give a separate shampoo and body wash. :) But in general like that they offer bulk items and are water conscious.

This is THE WORST hotel I've ever stayed The room was dirty and loads of mosquitoes in the room, they gave us the room at another building which right next to street, basketball court and a mosque also there was a restaurant down there under where we sleep, there's no balcony like in the photos they've added and staff literally just told us right after we have checked in that they're fully booked and this only the room that available nobody informed us anything about this before. There are people at the restaurant downstairs and people playing basketball til late at night and then in the morning we have to wake up with noises from the mosque and the guy with lawn mower, barely sleep and literally LOTS of MOSQUITOES in the room even we told them to spray it for us but still there are loads! Service and everything is just soooooo bad and would never go back to this place and would never recommend to anyone. Also I have reported this to the website I've booked and seems that the hotel won't give a f about whatever problem they have and not take any responsibility for it

Fantastic location for all of central George Town! Easy access to everything. Backs directly on to the mosque, so if you're traveling with kids, get ready for an early start to the day. Comfortable beds. But the coffee sachets were not good (I love good coffee, and was definitely forced to the supermarket to buy an alternative for day 2.) No breakfast, but you're really close to loads of places... I'll recommend Ome which is really close if you like your coffee!

The Old & Unique Hotel in the Heritage area. Have a homey style from the lobby to the room. I booked the loft room. 1st floor is living room & restroom. 2nd floor is Bedroom. Have free water at the lobby. Behind the room is Masjid and you will get a wake up call from pray Salah.

Location is great, close to Armenian street. Room was big. Hotel has two floors and no elevator. Lobby is cozy.
