Lovely hotel in good location

Location excellent for walking around and exploring. Room was huge and lovely - only problem is the rather steep stairs up to the room if you choose a twin bed room. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

Pleasant stay at this charming heritage hotel. Like the cleaniness, friendly staff and decor of this heritage hotel. Location is good for exploring Georgetown’s street food scene. A small minus is hotel has no lift. So ask for ground floor room if you have heavy luggage.

Penang Getaway.

The hotel staff were very friendly and very helpful and I would give 5 stars to them. The aircon was not cold enough even after setting 16C and strongest blower. A single card was provided so the electricity would cutoff when we left the room. Location was ok

To me, the hotel was the highlight of George Town.
Tong-Il, 4-night trip

This hotel is a nice little, I believe 20-room clean hotel with large clean rooms and an amazing friendly staff. In particular, Liza is exceptionally helpful and friendly and if you wish, she can arrange for day tours. Excellent hotel. No complaints whatsoever.
