Lovely old colonial mansion with a very nice little courtyard. The staff is very friendly. Highly recommended!

Sandra was exceptionally helpful. All the staff where great. But she sat down with us and gave us help in planning our George Town explorations.

Fantastic and very climatic place. Chinese Mansion with very old history. In the hart of Chinatown, we loved the location. Our room was extremely big and high. Beds were very comfy. Lovely patio. Nice breakfasts. Free coffee and tea in the afternoon was a fantastic idea. Very helpful and well informed staff. All monuments nearby.

Everything, it's such a nice building, with a nice place with a terrace inside to chill.. The people are so nice. Sandra, I miss you! You can walk to the most things like the Jetty's etc.

Very nice and beautiful hotel. Staff was very helpful, especially Sandra who gave us many useful information about Penang. We highly recommand

The historic ambience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Little extra details like afternoon tea.

We spent 3 nights at the mansion and we really loved to stay there. The room was really spacious and comfortable, the bathroom clean and practical (we really like the bath gel and the shampoo) and the staff really nice. Sandra was particularly kind to us, taking the time to explain some particularities of the Malaysian culture and population, giving us good tips on what to do of our days. If you ever go to Penang, I can only recommend you to stay at this mansion as it is also perfectly located to discover the city!

The hotel is stunning. Perfect location in the old town and the hotel itself is a converted 19th century mansion which has retained all its charm, with little open air courtyards. You could easily forget you are in a busy city as it is an oasis. The staff are exceptional, Tom is friendly and polite and Sandra gave us loads of useful tips. We accidentally left a child’s teddy when we checked out and Tom drove 40 minutes to give him back to us in his own time after work. I can’t say highly enough of the place. Best hotel we’ve stayed in.

Hotel full of history very comfortable,delicious breakfast worthy for a try

Beautiful location and very friendly and helpful staff. When in Georgetown, this is the place to be
