88 Armenian

It was our first time staying at boutique hotel and it was amazing! Hotel is perfectly placed in the heart of old town, so we checked in and wandered around the town. There are many cafes, coffee shops and restaurants as well as craft shops. For dinner we booked a table in Tong restaurant within the hotel to enjoy local food with modern vision. All dishes and signature cocktails were delicious. After dinner we asked for evening bath services (it’s included), best decision btw - after another walk around hot bath with salt and aroma oils was even more enjoyable. Hotel staff was very responsive and hospitable, our room - cozy and stylish. Definitely will book again next time in Penang.

This place is exceptional from start to finish. The staff genuinely couldn’t be more helpful or friendly, going above and beyond to make the stay feel personal and effortless. The location is spot on, making it easy to explore while still feeling like a retreat. Breakfast was a real highlight too an impressive range with excellent quality throughout. The room and overall service were unbelievable, with every detail thoughtfully considered. Even the ambience stood out, with a luxurious scent in both the room and lobby that elevated the whole experience. With only six rooms, it feels incredibly intimate and personable more like a private hideaway than a typical hotel.

Honestly, nothing this stay was incredible.

88 Armenian - this is a second visit, and the hotel and staff are just as delightful as before. I have a rather short 'approved list', and 88 Armenian is on the list. Location is excellent for those who want to experience culture and food as well as shopping. I went in April, which was the right time to avoid the crowds and the weather was not so hot, nor so wet as to be depressing or dehydrating. The quality of the hotel staff is just my cup of tea. I am greedy for snacks and they know it, so their complimentary range of Penang pastries really is just right to settle down to an hour (or two) of the free Netflix. Don't bother to bring a car - parking is almost non-existent - you are in the old part of Penang afterall. Just get a GRAB. Thanks to everyone at 88 Armenian, and if I am in Penang again I will be sure to swing by

Everything is wonderful. As soon as I even mentioned the sighting of a cicak, they whipped out their vacuumn cleaner to hunt the creature down. To be sure, Penang is a tropical island and it's full of life so it's perfectly acceptable to sight such creatures. Fortunately the mosquito issue is perfectly under control.

The room was very spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a modern loft concept. The bathroom was a highlight, bright and stylish with a nice bathtub, giving a luxury boutique feel. The location is excellent, right in Armenian Street and close to many cafes and attractions. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and made the stay very comfortable.

Nothing, everything was great.
