A charming, nostalgic luxury hotel ideally located in the heart of Georgetown, Penang, just a short walk from the old town, where you can enjoy sightseeing, shopping, exploring historic buildings, and savoring delicious local cuisine. The location is excellent, with a 24-hour self-service laundromat just a 3-minute walk away. The hotel is clean, quiet, and well-equipped with all the essential amenities. Its lobby features an engaging display that shares the rich history of both the hotel and Georgetown. Our family of four (2 adults and 2 kids) stayed in a family room with two queen beds, which felt very spacious and comfortable. The only downside was the hot and humid late June weather, walking outside in the afternoon for even 10 minutes was nearly unbearable. We enjoyed staying at the hotel and will definitely rebook it next time.

Loud noises kept us up every night

We stayed for 3 nights and did not have one decent nights sleep. The nightclub nearby played loud doof doof music till the wee hours, the bed was hard and uncomfortable, and the doors of the other rooms slammed shut as people were coming and going. We left our To Be Cleaned light on every morning at 9am and room wouldn’t be serviced until 430pm. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. Breakfast was average. The hotel is in a great location, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Great location but loud music ruined the stay

The hotel is very conveniently located in George Town and within walking distance to a lot of good food and attractions. However I have it a low rating because the hotel is located next to a disco and the loud music and thumping was quite unbearable. It went on till they closed at 3am. If not for the music, everything was great. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Disappointing

Was not 5 star service or amenities. Staff was pleasant but not service oriented or knowledgeable. No body wash in bathrooms. Pool was too crowded-No place to sit. Lighting in room was dim. Not enough electric outlets. No full length mirror. We had a suite and the door between the bedroom and living room was poorly placed. It was always on the way of the drawers and closet. As far as cleanliness, the soap dish was never cleaned and one day I found a long dark hair on the bed. (It wasn’t mine). On the plus side, the massage chair in my suite and the heated toilet seat were very nice touches.
