“Kooning impressed me with its prime location in George Town's historic heart, where cultural immersion begins right outside the door. The self-check-in was seamless, a definite plus for late arrivals, while the individually styled rooms add a bespoke touch. Though a 24-hour receptionist would enhance security, the blend of modern comfort and heritage charm makes Kooning a standout choice.”
