A very good little hotel. Not having a window in the room is a bit odd, but obviously that can’t be helped. It was clean and spacious, and the communal areas were beautifully done. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

I cannot say enough about the staff at Macallister Terraces Hotel. When we arrived Sai was very kind and welcoming. He was very knowledgeable of the area and was able to recommend places to eat and visit. Sagor and Jame were always responsive to our needs and kep the property very neat and tidy. Anpa is the evening night clerk. He, too was very helpful and was able to suggest places to visit. Lastly, Liza. Liza ensured that all of our needs, no matter how slight, were met. The hotel itself is very clean and quiet. It is well placed in Georgetown. We were able to walk short distances to places to shop and a large variety of places to eat. The hawker stalls serve amazing food! There is char koay teow just down the street. I would stay at Macallister Terraces again-for the people, and the location.

Staff is top notch. Liza deserves a raise! Amenities are fine, but the razor is ridiculously low quality; Better to not have it. Great mattresses and linens.
