About About the place

Choo Chay Keong Temple, also known as Yap Kongsi, is a Straits Chinese temple dedicated to the Yap clan. Completed in 1924, it’s situated at a busy intersection but maintains a quiet atmosphere. The temple is noted for its intricate carvings, particularly the dragon pillars at the front porch and the detailed roof decorations, typical of Straits Chinese architecture. While small in size, it offers a glimpse into the cultural and religious heritage of Georgetown and is frequently included in walking tours of the area.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.
