    Staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly. The building itself is gorgeous and really offers a great insight into Penang culture. We enjoyed the small touches such as local snacks which elevated the stay even further.

    A quaint little property right at the heart of the Little India and Georgetown fort area. Super quiet and just a throw back to the past. I’d recommend this to anyone wanting an experience of a small boutique hotel with exceptional service

    The Cinnamon Room is a decent space for a family of 5. The snacks were abundant and the tea/coffee selection was decent. The courtyard had ample seating areas and was peaceful and lovely. Kevin at the front desk was very helpful during our check-in. Atiee was personable and helpful during check-out also. We found everything to be lovely during our stay, in stark contrast to some reviews that noted noise from nearby shops. Despite our room being closest to the main door and the main road, there was no sound of traffic outside or people entering or exiting the building, which is surprising.

    Our room has a tall spiral staircase which might not be appropriate for smaller children. Some might find it inconvenient that the bathroom is located on the upper floor.

    I love the antique decoration, well combination with modern facilities

    Perhaps the shower stream in the bathroom can be more tender. It is too strong.

    10ChunPosted on: 5-11-2025

    The staff at the hotel were very warm and welcoming. I got one of the Nutmeg rooms so something basic for just a few nights stay. The room was very clean, tidy, and spacious when I checked in. The location is perfect and only a few minutes walk to a lot of the attractions and night markets. The hotel also offers recommended night markets and restaurants which helped me a lot in finding local cuisines. Highly recommend this hotel and will be returning to this hotel on my return trip to Penang!

    Beautiful, restored mansion. Big room. Very clean. Optimal location close to everything in historic center. Great advice from staff on what to see and do and where to eat. Although generally excellent, a few small issues. We were on ground floor and could hear all footsteps above in morning and evening. Could benefit by putting some rugs down upstairs to soften the sound of footsteps. Could also put window panes in windows to allow in light while still using AC when hot. Person at recent our arrival and most of the time there was superb. The one on the off day when we were leaving could be a little more friendly. Definitely felt better arriving with the warm welcome.Other than these three smell issues, a very good stay.

    9NehaPosted on: 4-6-2025

    The property is a quaint, well designed mansion, preserving the nooks and aesthetics of what probably once was. It is very well located, and the staff is amazing. They cleaned the room several times a day, snacks and coffee were constantly restocked. And they were available for any help needed at all.

    If you have older people in the family, make sure you aren’t in a room on the top floor. Otherwise they will need to use the stairs. In some rooms the bathrooms are at a higher level than the main sleeping area.

    The historic building has been very tastefully restored and it is a pleasure to see the garden in the courtyard.

    The Internet could have been better

    Beautiful restoration of an old mansion. No expense spared. Rooms are large, with aircon and fans.En suite is large . Room cleaned every day, with little treats every night. Nice area to chill and read, with tea/coffee facilities.Superb location in the heart of George Town, with loads of shops, cafes, restaurants nearby.

    Having to leave.

    The building is a beautiful historic mansion in a central location. The room stayed very cool, even in the middle of the day without the AC running.

    Being on the bottom floor, we could hear our upstairs neighbors, but we were on the same schedule as them, so it worked out!

    9KimberlyPosted on: 12-10-2024

    What a cool hotel - it's got a lot of great history and details while also outfitted with modern amenities. The location is awesome, you're in the heart of Little India while also walking distance from many of Penang's cool sights. The staff is very friendly and helpful!

    I knew this but the Nutmeg room doesn't have windows that you can keep open if you want the AC on. The room is well lit otherwise!

    10GilesPosted on: 11-2-2024

    Great location! We were within walking distance to restaurants and the heart of Georgetown. The staff was welcoming and helpful. And they had plenty of lending umbrellas for the frequent rain showers?
