Ren I Tang Heritage Inn

George Town

Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. We loved the atmosphere, the staff, the building, the room, the food, basically everything! :) we also traveled with our 1.5 year-old toddler and they also had lots of toys which was a huge success! Also, when we had to leave early to catch our flight, they packed our breakfast, which was very helpful! Thank you again for the amazing experience! :)

Noordin Mews 3 stars

Noordin Mews is situated a 5-minute walk from Komtar and 1st Avenue. Heritage Area is a 10-minute walk from the hotel while Gurney Drive is a 15-minute drive away. We loved the quaint feeling of the hotel, and the attention to detail. The staff were there to cater for every need, candles lit each evening, essential oils burning in the room giving a lovely aroma, turndown service of the bed, loved the L'Occitane soap, shampoo etc in the rooms. Like that the toiletries weren't single use. The breakfast was lovely. Eve at the front desk was helpful and they give a good map/ info on the food and street art when you first arrive. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Situated within the UNESCO World Heritage city of Georgetown, Coffee Atelier is a collection of 5 beautifully-restored shophouses dating back to 1927. Featuring spacious suites with free Wi-Fi, it an art gallery and its own coffee museum. We really liked the authentic experience at the Coffee Atelier in George Town, Penang. The rooms are beautiful with very nice and maintained old furniture that transport you back in time. We also liked the semi-outdoor bathroom and the shower water pressure was very good. Everything was very clean. Location was superb. The staff, Judy and Ruby were absolutely welcoming and even carried our heavy bags up the stairs. We can really recommend staying at this accommodation.
