Cute little hotel, really clean, and welcoming staff. Situated in a good location. The only downside was it was quite noisy on the street at night. I would definitely recommend staying!

We found this hotel to have charm but the street noise, lack of bathroom door and mediocre cleanliness out weighed the charm. We also booked because we wanted to have a pool to cool off in after seeing the sites but the actual pool size was much smaller than what the photo looked like on line. For the money I think there are better options.

Incredible location at the heart of George Town. The room is comfortable and clean. The staff are efficient and the hotel itself has some really nice communal spaces. Only downside is that it can be a bit noisy at night but we got used to it after the first night.

1) Booked a suite room - defective aircond and apparently many ppl have complained before. 2) staff came back to room to give us second access card, didn’t even knock the door just tagged and open the door. 3) shoes are to be removed, but they make us walk barefoot through dirty areas to the suite room. 4) night staff tried to short change us by charging additional tourist tax of rm 24 although he knows we are locals. We took refund the next morning from the morning staff and only paid rm2. 5) ID of this place is nice but definitely need to improvise on maintenance.

The staff were fantastic. Location was central to all the heritage Georgetown has to offer. Being located at the busy strip, it can be a bit noisy at times. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Awesome stay in the heart of Penang!
Great concept of having a shared kitchen and lounge area. As a guest you have the choice to stay in your room or use these areas and meet and mingle with other guests. You can do whatever you prefer! It did mean, more options then your usual room has, like a coffee machine, a fridge, nice relaxing spaces to enjoy, etc. We absolutely loved it!

Beautiful boutique hotel right in the heart of Georgetown with some great street eats and short stroll to Love Lane for the nightlife. Hotel is over 2 levels, no lift so just to get to the first level is a set of stairs for those of you who would find this difficult probably wouldn't like this. Great self serve kitchen on the first level with tea and coffee making facilities and lovely undercover seating area. Second level is a lounging area indoors and outdoor pool, although no shade. Room was great, clean with a nice comfortable bed, block out curtains and double glazing on windows to block out noise, only bad thing is the bathroom is only separated by a curtain which was not sufficient when hubby had a dose of the runs. Staff are fantastic, let you know all the great restaurants in the area. Will be back again.

This hotel is a boutique hotel located on one of the main streets in Georgetown, Penang. Close to food and sights. Easy to get a Grab and delicious char siew and chicken rice downstairs, just steps away. Raj was super friendly and great to be greeted by. Breakfast was a nice addition too. Only thing with our room is that there seemed to always be so many mosquitos! Couldn’t get rid of them!

Wonderful stay!
Incredible service, all staff members were really friendly and made sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. We booked a room with a king size bed, and it was really comfortable. Room itself was a bit smaller than expected and had very little storage space, but it was in excellent condition. The breakfast was very good to have, even though you have many options for an early meal around the hotel. On that, you are within walking distance of many of the highlights of George Town, if you can bare the heat.
