    Quaint heritage house, a semblance of rustic feel inside. I had very peaceful sleep throughout the night. Basic facilities are well provided and clean. Aircon is cool to give much comfort after heaty excursions outdoor. It is such a place worth longer stay.

    I have stayed in the Mulan. There has a private bathtub in the room and the bathtub is quite comfortable. There are some animals there like cat and rabbits and the place is 1 min distance from the Bora-bora beach on foot. The food court is only 3 mins distance from Ardour Lodge. And the staff is quite friendly cz I wanted to have my dinner at the seaside but we don't have the mattress, then the staff borrow us the chairs. This is really a good place to stay!!!!! Recommeded!!!! will come back agn :D

    Excellent location as it was near to most of the tourist attraction such as the famous penang street arts, chew jetty, and also Komtar. The decor in the guest house is beautiful, rustic and antique. Staffs were friendly and answered all my queries. Will come back again and highly recommend this place

    One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Rustic and authentic charm with lots of quirky features. It was clean and cosy and the ladies that run the inn are so lovely and helpful. We left early and they prepared a take away breakfast for us which was a lovely touch. Great location and lots of nice additional quirks like a coffee machine, balcony overlooking the courtyard and water dispensers everywhere. We were sad to leave!!
