Baba House

Old world style

What we say: 3.5 stars

On a street of architecturally stunning homes, the Baba House is one of the most painstakingly restored. A night in this gorgeous Peranakan clan house costs a lot less than you probably would imagine, making it much better value than the boutique Hotel Puri across the street. The air-con rooms have a TV, IDD phone, coffee and tea making facilities and en suite bathrooms. The rooms are outfitted with antique wooden furnishings, but seem a little drab – the house is at its most beautiful in the common areas like the hallways, courtyard and lobby. There is free WiFi for guests and other services include massage, city tours and bicycle hire. If you're eager to try some local Baba-Nyonya delicacies there's a Peranakan restaurant next door. Rates include breakfast but not service charge (10%) and local taxes (5%).
