Located within Georgetown, it is within walking distance to many of the attractions in Georgetown. The food selection and availability is also incredible. What is most attractive though about this property is that is retains so much of the original vibes of a peranakan shophouse. The blend of historical furnishing and modern amenities makes for a nostalgic and yet comfortable stay. The only setback is its location along a narrow road. This means getting on and alighting from transport is going to pose some challenges, and the noise from the roads gets in if you are in the road-facing rooms like we were. Its is ideal for larger groups and we would definitely recommend it for families or larger group of friends.

There was absolutely nothing what we did not like! We loved the history of the place, it was unique and the staff Ben, Sandra and Bell were wonderful. Always there with a smile and little ideas what to do next. The room was huge and super clean. So many details every where and so quiet. Outside is the hustle and bustle which is super great and inside is peace and quietness! We would come back any time.

A Quiet and Relaxing Refuge

We liked this place-- and George Town--very much. Sandra's attention to service-- making us feel welcome, well-fed, and helping us to discover the layout and sights of Penang-- was exceptional. Her restaurant suggestions were very good. She was also very kind to my 7-year old granddaughter. The hotel and our room were very clean. The location is very good for exploration of George Town. Minor suggestions for improvement include: -Make sure rooms have more toilet paper -Soap is refilled in bathroom -Clarify clean towel replacement policy.
