About About the place

Yap Kongsi Temple, located on Armenian Street within Georgetown’s UNESCO World Heritage site, is a historically significant clan house. Originally established as a gathering place for the Yap family clan, it features a distinctive green-tiled roof adorned with dragon carvings. The land was generously donated by the philanthropist Yeap Chor Ee. Adjacent to the main building are the Choo Chay Keong Temple, housing the altar of the Yap deity, and the Yap temple, which holds the ancestral tablets of the Yap families. The temple is noted for its better maintenance compared to some other temples in the area, though it can attract a considerable number of visitors.

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.
