We used to live in Penang 8 years ago and stayed at Seven Terraces for a staycation, finding it really impressive. We also visited the restaurant and bar on numerous occasions, both of which were excellent. When we were planning a trip back to south east Asia, a part of the reason we included Penang in the itinerary was so we could stay at Seven Terraces again. We were delighted that it was even better than we had remembered! The building itself is absolutely astonishing, especially when you consider the derelict state it used to be in. They have done the most fantastic job, creating a calm, beautiful space right in the heart of Georgetown, decorated with stunning antique local furniture. The rooms are huge, beautifully furnished and have everything you could need. The Chinese four poster bed was comfortable and enormous. The bathroom was lavish, probably one of the nicest I’ve ever been in and almost ridiculously large. We had a separate living room on a mezzanine which was a lovely place to relax after a busy day eating the excellent food in Georgetown. The pool area is a real bonus. Even though the hotel is in the heart of Georgetown, it was very quiet and the plants and fountain made it feel quite serene. A free afternoon tea is served here, which is a lovely touch, where you can try local sweets. Delicious. The staff are excellent. Everything is immaculate, fast and professional but friendly. For example, we asked for some ice to be brought to our room and it arrived in what felt like 30 seconds! As mentioned, the hotel is very well located. Georgetown isn’t exactly massive, but from Seven Terraces, you are walking distance to all the beautiful sites it has to offer. Penang has some of the best food in the world and from the hotel you are no more than 10 mins from everything from a Michelin starred restaurant to a stall selling the most delicious street food you can imagine for pennies. Seven Terraces is literally the best hotel I have ever stayed at!

Nothing!

This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and was one of the highlights of my trip around Malaysia. The hotel and rooms are much more beautiful than the pictures suggest, and they're pretty good! The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was fantastic and the roof terrace was perfect for a coffee in the morning; these are traditional rooms, so are not light-filled, but you can just open the shutters for more light. Staff were lovely and the hotel served the best breakfast that I had during the whole month of travelling (you have to try the roti paratha); dinner in the restaurant was also delicious and it was really special to have traditional music played during the meal. Don't bother with the Blue Hotel, this place is much better!

The beds were a little stiff/hard for our liking, but not too bad.

The room was beautiful, and the location was excellent for us.

The pool has no bar besides it. Would be even more nice to spend time by it sipping something cool and refreshing

The bathroom solution in a wide balcony - superb. Room was very spatious.

The mattress is too firm for me.

The hotel is converted from old house and has a charming, tranquil, and peaceful atmosphere. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful.

Good location, set back from busy roads but in the middle of the old town. Great heritage building. Massive room. Good breakfast.

Nothing to dislike

The hotel is stunningly beautiful, kitted out with antique furniture. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Georgetown. Finally the food is incredible, breakfast is delicious as is dinner at the restaurant which is actually on the Michelin guide. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Frankly I would say there was nothing I didn’t like.

Ah what a wonderful place. A fantastic restoration. Well placed in the centre of Georgetown wher you can walk everywhere.A real treat. Not only was the hotel stunningly beautiful but the front desk and all the staff were so nice and ready to help. The rooms were enormous the furniture beautiful, the bathroom gigantic with such a pretty tiled floor. The pool area was a little jewel the breakfast perfect and pancakes light and fluffy, all this before I get on to the restaurant which was authentic with tasty offerings of high quality cuisine. Would I go back? Yes, yes, yes!

I love everything about this place

It is an authentic Peranakan building in the heart of George Town. Elaborate Chinese Malaysian design. Period furnishings and tile, adapted for contemporary comfort. Michelin honorable mention restaurant. Great bar.

The location was excellent and enabled you to stay in the heart of George Town. Being able to walk to local restaurants and bars a bonus. The hotel is a most sympathetic conversion of former shops and gave one a feel of the past.

There was nothing I didn't like - there was even a thank you card and small gift in our room when we checked in.

Our room was very spacious and we loved going to the dining room for breakfast. The staff were fantastic. Loved being able to swim in the pool to cool down and relax after a day exploring Georgetown.
