Coming from a different big hotel around the corner this hotel was a surprise with its charming historical atmosphere. There are only 8 rooms, so it has very personal touch. There is always somebody at the reception. The staff is very nice and friendly.

The hotel has been beautifully restored to a very high standard. The antiques in the main part of the hotel blended wonderfully with the very comfortable rooms.

Noisy bar with live music close by, 11pm-1.30am Wed-Sun music from outside and normal windows = no sound isolation in the room

Nice atmosphere, close to interesting Highlights

Wi fi was variable and did not work on some of our devices.

We liked the character of the property especially the hand painted wall friezes.

Exceedingly pleasant.

The hotel's location was superb. The breakfast selection was satisfactory and suitable for anyone with a small appetite, such as my family. We enjoyed the nasi lemak and nonya desserts, however the plata and you tiao was not sufficiently heated and not crispy. In general, the breakfast was satisfactory.

The only thing is that I felt the bed was too hard for my liking.

The location was pretty central and close to the shops and food streets. The hotel itself was lovely and clean. All the 3 staff on rotating shifts were really nice and friendly.

Location. Rooms breakfast

Breakfast is very basic and the same things repeated every day. However, this was known and wasn't a surprise for us. I suppose for a small hotel it is difficult to have a lot of variety. Quantity available was plenty and it serves the purpose.

Small quiet hotel. Centrally located and walking distance from a lot of happening places. Super friendly staff. The family room was large enough for three persons. Nice bathroom with latest fittings.

The location is not as good as Kimberly. Chulia street is not a good location. The bath towels are worn out. Property owner should have discarded those worn out towels.

The staff are super friendly & helpful.

The room light is a little bit dark. If provide the desk lamp, it will be nice.

The counters are very nice and kind.

Ha ha ha, the stairs are a bit steep. Without any lift, it will be a bit inconvenient when moving our luggages to rooms at level 2.

Location definitely. The hotel is near to various eateries which is super convenient.

The stairs are very narrow and tricky

i like the ambience

The staff were friendly and welcoming from when I arrived to when I departed. The hotel is exactly what I expected a quaint converted Malaysian Chinese house into a hotel. The room was the perfect size for a solo traveller and would be for 2 people as well. There is only a handful of rooms so it's not to busy. They let me check in early without any hesitation.

Nam Keng Hotel was exceptional in the following areas for my recent solo stay: 1) room was big and comfortable and well equipped with the necessary amenities 2) the front desk staff, Ms Priya and Mr Tharan were always on hand to make sure my stay was comfortable. I managed to follow some of Mr Tharan’s excellent recommendations on where to eat in Georgetown. 3) Location was within walking distance to all the good food in Georgetown.

Breakfast was pretty nice but would be even better if it was changed up every couple of days.

Great customer service, comfortable beds, charming architecture and interiors that feels very fitting with the rest of Penang.

The breakfast is limited, few options & the same each day. The windows in the room cannot be open and it's pretty loud so make sure you pack earbuds. ☺️

For us the location was the greatest benefit of the stay. It is within walking distance to all that matters in the city. Staff was kind and helpful and rooms are clean. The building has a nice flare.

A change of breakfast daily plus some fruits as they are so reasonable in Malaysia
