    Excellent stay in the heart of George Town

    We absolutely loved our stay at this property. Even though it’s only street parking we never had any issues finding a spot right outside the property (make sure you download the parking app!! A lot of the parking is not free in the larger towns in Malaysia apparently ..it is very cheap but you need to pay in the app) The location was walking distance to a lot of the sights we wanted to see and a plethora of amazing food, street markets, and shopping, it felt very safe, very quiet within the grounds, we always had the pool to ourselves when we were there to cool off midday. The room was great, perfectly decorated with a very comfortable bed and one of the best showers we had on our 4 month trip. The staff was very kind, always helpful and clearly put in a lot of work keeping the property maintained. Would stay again.

    An oasis in Georgetown
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Mansion Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    We would have loved to be able to have breakfast at the property as the set up is really nice and relaxing but there are plenty of restaurants and cafés around so this is not a big deal at all.

    Beautiful property ideally located in Georgetown. Very central yet quiet as not directly on the street. The bedrooms are spacious, very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The swimming pool is also beautifully done and is a great addition, we really enjoyed having a swim after walking around the town all day. We truly recommend!

    I didn't like that the rooms were not sound proof you can hear outside and inside especially that the rooms are directly on the main entrance of the lobby and the corridor

    I liked the shared space the coffee, the hospitality and design of the place. It is very homesy

    It's quite a hustle to find a parking spot.

    The location was great, convenient to reach the main viral food in Penang. The room was excellent, meticulously decorated. The free flow of premix Penang white coffee is a good addition. The staff were very friendly. attentive and kind enough to give a vintage glass plate to my mother when she mentioned that the plates reminded her of childhood memories at our kampung. Love the privacy offered by the hotel throughout of our stays for two nights.

    The loft doesn’t have a bannister for the staircase which was a little concerning with two children. Mine are old enough (7 and 6) to be careful but something to note if you are staying with younger children.

    The hotel was absolutely gorgeous. It was like a little oasis within Georgetown. All staff were lovely and helpful! We all enjoyed going for a swim in the pool after a hot day of walking and exploring. The pool is nicer in real life compared to photos. Our room was large and the bathroom was spacious. Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Georgetown!

    Next to a Mosque so expect to be awaken by the prayer hours, and during end of Ramadan there were tons of firecrackers going on but that's to be expected given the season we booked so. Pool is close to the room so if you are a light sleeper and want to take a nap at afternoon you might be frustrated

    Great central location, staff are Friendly and nice and agreed to keep our luggage for few hours at the reception.

    It's a shame they don't provide breakfast, as there is a lovely sitting area for this, however location is good enough that this isn't required.

    The pool is quite dangerous to climb in and out from a child’s perspective as it is just a concrete stab with a granite stone inside to step on when getting out.

    Amazing heritage. The whole vibe felt very homely. Staff was very accommodating.

    Not much to dislike about the property.

    A royal old world vibe. As the name suggests the architecture and decor of the place reminds you of its South Asian and Peranakan heritage. The entire building was very thoughtfully done including the pool and the fountain in front lawn.

    A beautiful mansion in Georgetown
    • Leisure trip

    The lounge chairs in the pool area were not in good shape. One was fully ripped and they eventually took it away. The toilet by the pool does not seem clean - maybe they're just stained, but it just didn't match the rest of the mansion which was beautiful. On my last day, I had the "Do not disturb" sign, as I was packing and finally showering. A staff member entered my room 30 minutes before I was due to check-out -- while I was in the shower. I was shocked and shouted from the shower for them to leave. I reported to the front desk staff who said sorry and that they were new people not fully trained. I was not happy.

    Coffee and tea was available, but breakfast was not offered. There were many Chinese coffee places that open as early as 6am within a a block or two. There were also many other restaurants walking distance from our hotel's location. I had to walk farther to get to the shopping area. The bed was a lot firmer than I'm used to but we had such active days that I would sleep pretty soundly anyway. It was just the first night that I had issues. A friend and I shared a very spacious room with two king beds. It had a nice sitting area. I arrived very late to check-in. I'm glad someone was there to help me with keys and luggage. There is no elevator to the second floor in this beautifully restored mansion. The front desk staff was always helpful when we had questions.

    Unable to pay by credit card due to card machine error and manager advise me to give my card details once card machine recover he will help me to pay using my card detail but refuse by my husband because safety matters. End up i pay using cash which is a bit troublesome which i need to use for other purpose.

    It is located near attraction and just walk some mile you can have breakfast for their local food with local price

    It was fine for us but there was no safety rail on the stairs going up to the loft so probably not suitable for smaller children.

    The room was spacious, beautiful and the architecture of the place was great. Loved the beautiful tiled pool to cool off in after walking around in Georgetown.

    Too noisy, the singing from a karaoke or a cafe lounge is singing till midnight every night - may not be suitable for family with young kids.

    Need to find parking by the road site, make sure you park your car inside the yellow box or you can find open space parking from the app. Pay thru app. During at night a bit noisy from the live band nearby the shop lot area & the sounds from vehicle pass by.

    Spacious room for Mansion Suites, if you travelling with kids you should consider this room. Just be extra careful if u travelling with toddler, this room has stairs inside. Great location; all the shop, restaurant, cafe just walking distance. Other than that all good and very satisfied.
