Location is EXCELLENT for foodies to Penang! Lots of great food choices within short walking distance or even on the same block. Many Michelin mentioned food stalls and restaurants near by. This hotel is a 100+ year old home turned into boutique hotel that services like a normal hotel. If you like history and antiques this would be heaven for you.
Showers and beds are excellent. Daily afternoon treat and freshment drink to your room!
We are avid travelers who are fairly picky and we would recommend this hotel to our friends.
A unique boutique hotel located in the central area of Georgetown. It is convenient and walkable to most of attractions in the area. Staffs are friendly and helpful. I would recommend to my friends who wants to visit the area.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel was in a great location and really beautifully renovated with historic charm. Staff could not have been more helpful - from recommending activities to restaurants and helping us with any small queries! We also dined in the restaurant and the Italian food was excellent also.
An oasis of calm in the storm of Georgetown. A wonderfully restored building that shows how a small hotel should be run, such attentive and friendly people who cannot do enough for you. Thank you for our time with you and you help and service.

Great small hotel to stay in. 12 rooms each individual to make very homely. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Nice touch daily complimentary treat. Good breakfast and good coffee.
Fantastic old world charm. Great location close to delicious food. Staff very friendly. Lovely breakfast and free dessert each night. Lemon tea complimentary
Unique property as each room has a different theme. I particularly enjoy the overall Nyonya, Peranakan vibes to the hotel. It was by the road but not noisy. Convenient location to explore Georgetown as well, walkable to many places.
Everything about this hotel is amazing. Very nice staff at the reception and restaurant. Beautiful decorated room. Tasty breakfast and the Italian restaurant is excellent. Very good and safe location.
Loved the hotel! Beautiful restored building and great location. The Eggs Benedict and croissants with homemade coconut jam for breakfast were absolutely amazing.
What a wonderful hotel! We absolutely loved staying here. The location is fantastic and the people who work there are a pure delight. Absolutely would recommend.
Campbell House is a lovingly restored hotel in Georgetown. We stayed in the Loft and Opium rooms and loved it. The owner and her team treated us like royalty. Highly recommend.
I love this hotel, is in heritage site of Georgetown. Is like staying in a hotel but more of historical house. The services are excellent. Everything from breakfast in the morning to coming back to the bedroom, so clean. Every day there is a nice sweet treat. Definitely give it a 5 stars 🌟. I be back again
The location was perfect and the staff was the best ever. Excellent service. They go out of their way to make sure they are well taken care of. We really enjoyed our stay here.
