Guest Reviews

- Patrick (8/5): Prachtige ingericht, lieve mensen maar wat een rommel in de straat - De inrichting De rommelige straatwaarde het in ligt
- Kunwoo (9/5): - Very nice looking place and very well managed. It was like a cultural experience that Ive never got. The rooms were very clean and service from the staff was great. Everything was more than adequate. Maybe the noise from upstairs time to time but this is inevitable I guess being an old building. Also I guess its part of the experience and didnt bother me too much.
- Silvia (9/5): Einzigartig, authentisch, Top-Lade, sehr, sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Ich würde jederzeit wieder hier b - Die Einrichtung und das Setup ist einmalig. Sehr schöne Details unterstreichen den ursprünglichen Charakter, der jederzeit spürbar ist. Es ist ein wenig hellhörig. Das liegt jedoch an der Art und Weise, wie dieses Gebäude eingeteilt ist und an den Original-Materialien. Man wird von Anfang an darauf hingewiesen, dass es hellhörig ist, also weiss man, worauf man sich einlässt. Es gibt einen Hinweis, dass ab 22h Ruhe sein soll, wenn alle sich daran halten, ist es absolut kein Problem.

- Thomas (10/5): - Beautiful mansion, tastefully decorated, comfortable, welcoming staff…
- Carlo (8/5): - Home made breakfast prepared on the spot.
Nice central location. Sound insulation of the room.......
Also the windows have no glass: if you open them to get light in, the heat comes in as well. If you keep them closed, you are in a very dark room

- Willem (10/5): Beautiful hotel with spacious rooms!! Superb location and super friendly staff! Highly recommended. - Beautiful place, spacious room, super friendly staff
- Aya (10/5): とても幸せな時間でした! - とても大切に手入れされた建物でどのコーナーにもくつろげるコーナーがあり、居心地の良い空間でした。置かれている家具や絵も美しく、スタッフの方もとても親切でした。教えていただいたお店はどこも美味しかったです。規模もちょうど良く、静かで落ち着くことができます。 ほとんどありません。しいて言うならシャワーヘッドが若干詰まり気味なのが少し気になったくらいです。
- SL24 (10/5): - Lovely stay at the East indies mansion. Staff were attentive. Nice touches like providing a different night time snack each time. It's a heritage building so there are no elevators but staff will help you with your luggage. Lovely and quiet inside despite the location.
- Oiyee (10/5): Beautiful comfortable house with great staff - The look and feel of the property and how well the owner has kept the authenticity of the mansion to what its original form. Nothing
- Matthew (10/5): Wonderful stay in historical house - Great location, very spacious, beautifully decorated, clean rooms, nice snacks in the rooms, delicious breakfast (different every morning) and very kind staff Our daughter went into one of her brothers' bed as her bed was squeaking too much. The sofa in Clove 2 is a bit worn out.
- Jillian (9/5): Beautifullly setup in every corner, super friendly staff and convenient location - Rooms and common areas are Beautifully setup, very thoughtful with every details like where we can hang clothes in the bathroom. The foot path to the entrance is constantly blocked by a car and drains on the pavement made it very dangerous to walk into the front entrance
- ZHIQIANG (9/5): 整体感觉良好,酒店干净,晚上很安静。早上楼上的动静可能会稍微吵到。员工很热情 - 干净又卫生 没办法中文交流
- Mannetstatter (9/5): - De authenticiteit en de inrichting, echt zoals het vroeger was. Ze gingen uit hun weg om je welkom te voelen en zeer gedienstig. Mijn GF ontbijt werd op voorhand besproken en aangepast naar wens. Mix van westers, oosters, zoet en hartig. Aanrader als je niet graag de mainstream doet.
- XINRUI (10/5): Thanks, I enjoyed my stay☺️ - Good location, friendly staff, they chat to you and give you suggestions, everyday got different breakfast and snacks. Love the old style building and decoration, highly recommend! Nil
- marley (10/5): I would recommend this place to any history lover, it is really special and very unique. Staff were lovely too. - Beautiful building, lovingly maintained. So much history here and a bargain at the price. Some things don’t work perfectly or are a little tired but this is to be expected in an older property.
- Pierre (8/5): Très bel hôtel, personnel super. Assurez-vous d'avoir une chambre à l'étage, sinon ce sera désagréable s'il - Bien situé dans Little India, près de tout. Hôtel avec beaucoup de charme. Insonorisation questionnable. Chambre sans fenêtre donnant sur l'extérieur.

- Rolando (9/5): - Su ubicación y todos los detalles que tienen dentro de las habitaciones . El personal es super atento y amable, están por todo….el desayuno abundante y bueno (nos tocó desayuno chino con dimsun). La habitación que nos tocó (cinamon) por cuestiones de la humedad, se estaba saltando la pintura y el yeso de las paredes y con los ventiladores….llenando de un polvo fino que acababa ensuciando las cosas….
- elena (10/5): Una perla di tranquillità in un luogo autentico - Accoglienza premurosa curata e discreta Nulla
- 建吾 (9/5): -
- Gianfranco (9/5): - Charming Poor WiFi
- NELIDA (10/5): 100% recomendable! - El hotel es espectacular y el personal, encantadores y muy amables.
- Dominique (8/5): - Charme de la maison historique très bien située avec un côté intimiste, des petites attentions appréciables et l’amabilité du personnel De par l’architecture de cette maison, pas d’isolation phonique avec les chambres du dessus et l’absence totale de lumière naturelle dans notre chambre du rez de chaussée. Des petits déjeuners qui pourraient être plus copieux et l’absence de produits de confort dans la salle de bains
- Kurt (9/5): Immer wieder gerne - Eigentlich alles, aber… Wi-Fi ist nicht überall verfügbar, es gibt blind spots.
Nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil, aber das Frühstücks-Konzept ist ungewohnt: Es wird ein Menu frisch und sehr gut zubereitet (z.B. Continental oder eine Nudelsuppe oder French) - ein Buffet gibt es aber nicht. Wem das Menu nicht passt, muss hungern.
Die Wassermenge in der Dusche ist eher knapp bemessen.

- Jennifer (9/5): A really special place - I stayed in Amistar 1 I think and it was a beautiful room. The hotel is really special - an old Chinese house in the middle of Georgetown. I found it wonderful. The interior courtyards were lovely places to sit, the thoughtful snacks in the room were great, the breakfast was so lovely - different every day and really special. The staff helped us with restaurants. I thought it was great. Thank you so much.
- Oliver (9/5): Gute Lage, nettes Personal, schönes Ambiente - Personal, sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend eigentlich nichts
- Clemens (9/5): A very Nice - Very good location for exploring the city, very nicely preserved original mansion with beautiful details
- John (8/5): Old Charming Historical Mansion - Location fairly good. In Little India and a few blocks from Chinatown. Walking distance to Armenian Street.
Old world charm. Different breakfasts on different days: one day dim sum, 2nd day continental, 3rd day Indian, 4th day French style toast but using Chinese Mi Gui (Turtle Bread). Could do some repair which really cost minimum. Like the arm of a chair in the dining room came off and stuff knew about it. All it took was some furniture glue to fix.
Some historical photos in the main reception area but the descriptions were way too small and too high up to read. What a pity.
A huge step from the sleeping quarter into the bathroom. The landing was too narrow so it was scary to step into the bathroom in the middle of the night. See photo.

- Anne-Marie (9/5): Une adresse à retenir - Le character et son charme et la gentillesse du personnel

- 佐藤 (10/5): ペナンで最高の体験ができました!ありがとうございます - 最高の立地と、風情ある建築。
設備は清潔で快適な上に、全ての従業員の皆さんが親切で、とても居心地良く過ごせました。
- Fabrice (8/5): -
- Fatiha (10/5): Emplacement, beauté du lieu et accueil parfaits ! - Nous avons tout aimé ! L’emplacement, la propreté, la déco et l’atmosphère particulièrement relaxante, le fait d’être dans un endroit plein d’histoire, mais surtout surtout le personnel !!! Tellement accueillant et aux petits soins. Rien, tout était parfait !
- Vincent (10/5): -
- Thomas (9/5): -
- Greg (9/5): - The heritage building, its charm, the proximity to george town food and streets Slight preference for exterior windows
- Mark (10/5): - Lovely hotel, great location staff were fantastic and very helpful would definitely recommend.
- Meihua (9/5): Very good experience. - Deco, cleanness, space. Water pressure. Breakfast can be served earlier.
- Wayne Watkinson (9/5): - The staff was wonderful, both Sathia and Ai Tee kept us organized and very well fed. Ai Tee's breakfast was a daily treat, and the dim sum were the best. Poor configuration of stairs in the bathroom. A chair or two in room would be a plus...the room is a great size.
- Susan (10/5): Superb stay in a beautiful building in a fantastic location. Loved it and would definitely return. - What a beautiful place to stay. Tranquil and full of history but also has everything you need, as well as fantastic, welcoming staff who couldn’t do enough for us.
- Baby Rajeshrani (9/5): Fabulous weekend - Old school charm Creaky bed
- Matthias (8/5): -
- marion (10/5): - Super
- Martin (9/5): Kleine Auszeit in zentraler Lage - Eine Oase der Ruhe und das mittendrin Waschbecken im Zimmer hatte nur kaltes Wasser
- Andrina (8/5): Great stay! - The vibes and the way the place was restored was really great! The rooms we booked for our family had the bathroom attached to the room upstairs. We may have booked other rooms as we had older family members and they did find it a little troublesome if they slept downstairs and they'd have to climb upstairs for the loo
- Ita (9/5): -
- Agnieszka (10/5): - Obiekt jest w przepięknie odnowionym budynku, można poczuć kolonialny klimat miejsca. Obiekt oferuje bezpłatne przekąski i swobodny dostęp do kuchni. Obsługa jest bardzo pomocna, na każdym kroku dba, aby goście byli zadowoleni. Ciekawym pomysłem są śniadania, bardzo smaczne i codziennie różne.
- michael (8/5): A lovely, tranquil place to stay amongst all the busyness of Georgetown. - Location was great. Right in the heart of little India.
The building and the decor were a great example of Dutch/ Chinese architecture.
A beautiful building..
The staff were very helpful and efficient. A strange smell in the room.
No tea or coffee making facilities in the room.
- Timisoara89 (10/5): Beautiful place - The mansion / guest house has a lot of character as it's a historical building. It's very pretty and nicely decorated, and has many plants. To give an idea, the layout is somewhat similar to riads in Morocco, where the rooms are facing an internal yard.
Both the room and the bathroom were spacious and quite tall.
The bed was wide enough for two people.
Staff was pleasant. There were a few things I didn't like, but I decided it's fair to maintain the overall "10 score" of my review.
The mattress was too firm for my liking, also, the bed's width is about 1.80m, so if you're taller your foot will touch the wooden frame (this can be covered nicely).
Other than this, it is important to mention that if you're on the ground floor you might have another room on top of you, and when the other guests walk around their room you'll hear that (wooden ceiling). This is particularly unpleasant in cases where they wake up earlier than you, or go to sleep later than you. I had a family above and they made a lot of noise. So, since it's a historical building it's not at all soundproof, so you'll hear other guests walking around or talking - and they'll hear you so be careful with the kind of noises you make ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡° )
- FLORENT (10/5): Une superbe adresse pour voyager dans le passé - Super maison ancienne restauré avec goût. On habite un musée. Personnel prévenant et accueillant. Excellent petit déjeuner. Belle adresse RIEN
- Radoslaw (9/5): -
- Piotr (10/5): Wonderful heritage stay in George Town Beautifully restored heritage mansion with lots of character. The room was spaci -
- Rob (9/5): Prachtig pand in centrum George Town - Prachtig pand, mooi gerestaureerd en goed onderhouden. Perfecte locatie, de ferry en de hele binnenstad van George Town op loopafstand. En tot slot het vriendelijke personeel, die tips hadden een voor een heerlijk, gevarieerd, ontbijt zorgen Niks; wij hadden geen last van geluidsoverlast in Nutmeg B (zoals door anderen aangegeven), maar het was ook vrij rustig. Het is en blijft een oud (en heel mooi) pand, dus je hoort altijd wel wat.
- Lilla (10/5): - Style, location, service, comfort and cleanliness
- Sabina (10/5): -
- Dr. Julian (10/5): -
- Alina (9/5): A relaxing stay in a beautiful heritage inn - The inn has a unique atmosphere: it‘s like a culture & history museum and an oasis of greenery in one spot. It was relaxing to spend time in its courtyard garden, browsing Penang‘s history books and drinking local tea. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Leaving small sweet things on our bed wishing us “sweet dreams“ was an unexpected cute touch. Water bottles were constantly refilled. A lack of natural day light inside the rooms due to the structure of heritage cottages here.
The breakfast was a little underwhelming 🫤.
- Tan (10/5): -
- Stephanie (9/5): A calm tranquil haven in the heart of Little India - The location, the staff and the overall charm. Great location too. Nothing really, we knew there wasn’t a pool
- Takai (10/5): -
- Tuffy (9/5): Perfect location to explore Georgetown. The building is charming and the staff are very helpful. - Very friendly staff, beautifully historic building, located in the heart of Historic Georgetown. A great place if you want to easily pop out and explore restaurants and markets and return to an oasis. The room ended up being a little too small for our family but the staff was quick to help us find a solution.
- Sandra (10/5): Un lieu magique, une demeure historique, en plein centre mais au calme. - Tout d'abord le lieu. L'endroit est magnifique.
Le personnel est fantastique. Dès notre arrivée nous avons été accueilli parfaitement et lorsque nous sommes partis ce fut la même chose.
La chambre est préparée pour le soir avec une petite douceur et un message, une délicate attention.
Malgré la position centrale, l'endroit est calme.
Parmi tous les lieux que nous avons visité en Malaisie, c'est le plus bel endroit avec un personnel qui a dépassé nos attentes.
Même si on peut toujours faire mieux, j'ai quand même mis 10 pour cet établissement, il vaut vraiment la peine d'être découvert. Quelques petits détails mineurs, au vu du caractère exceptionnel du lieu
Pression de la douche un peu faible
C'était écrit mais je n'ai pas regardé : certaines chambres n'ont pas de fenêtre, bien vérifier avant de réserver.
Franchement, il n'y a pas grand chose ...
- Jochen (8/5): Residing in the old clan house - Very nice hotel in an old Chinese clan house. The rooms are quiet, very clean, and the beds are comfortable. You are right in the city center and can explore this great city. —
- Sin Wai Philip (9/5): - Excellent staff. Lovely and stylish old house. Nice home made breakfast Building is in need for repairs particularly water seepage from the walls..... condition is not good
- Judith (9/5): Würde ich noch einmal buchen. - Das Hotel ist sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet. Super nettes und bemühtes Personal. Die Zimmer sind schön und gepflegt, Betten bequem und es gab ein gutes Frühstück (jeden Tag was anderes). Die Lage ist sehr zentral und man geht von der Fähre auch nur 10 Minuten hin. Wir hatten Cinnamon 1&2 und in den beiden unteren Zimmern gibt es keine Klimaanlage sondern nur einen Deckenventilator. Die Klimaanlage vom 1. Stock kühlt über die Wendeltreppe bisschen herunter aber nur wenn man im 1. Stock stark herunterkühlt. Außerdem muss man über die Wendeltreppe durch das Schlafzimmer im 1. Stock gehen um ins Bad zu gelangen, wenn man im unteren Zimmer schläft.
- Dr. Barbara (10/5): Tolles Hotel - Sehr schönes Ambiente, sehr großes Zimmer, sehr gute Lage, ruhig, sauber, sehr guter Service, sehr freundliches Personal. (Nichts!)
- judith (9/5): - El encanto de una casa china antigua, con dos patios interiores muy bonitos.
La ubicación muy buena, en plena Chinatown. El personal superamable. Un ambiente muy tranquilo y acogedor. Quizás que nuestra habitación no tuviera ventanas al exterior, daban a una sala junto a uno de los patios interiores y hacian la habitación algo oscura...
- Anna (8/5): -
- Anne-Marie (9/5): Un Havre de paix et de verdure dans un quartier trépidant - bonne localisation et très bon accueil - Magnifique hôtel, dans une maison traditionnelle avec plusieurs cours intérieures magnifiquement décorées (beaucoup de plantes) , un Havre de paix dans un quartier pourtant trépidant (Little India - très bonne situation)- personnel très accueillant et qui nous renseigne bien sur les sites à voir, les restaurants, etc... . Nous recommandons ! rien, c'était super !

- claudine (9/5): Best find thus far in Penang - I loved how homely it felt plus the staff made it extra homely The water pressure of shower is low
- IwanNL (7/5): Vintage but noisy - Relaxed, vintage-style, good location and VERY friendly staff. Nutmeg rooms on ground floor are incredible noisy.
- stiven (10/5): -
- Max (10/5): Beautiful property which is well worth a stay - Staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly. The building itself is gorgeous and really offers a great insight into Penang culture. We enjoyed the small touches such as local snacks which elevated the stay even further. Nothing
- Ganesh (9/5): The best boutique hotel in Georgetown! - A quaint little property right at the heart of the Little India and Georgetown fort area. Super quiet and just a throw back to the past. I’d recommend this to anyone wanting an experience of a small boutique hotel with exceptional service Location, historical significance and tranquility of the property
- Elmar (10/5): -
- Cheryl (9/5): -
- Hadewych (9/5): Excellent beautiful stay in the heart of Little India. - Loved the location—close to Beach Street and Little India, with lots of restaurants within walking distance. The room was a bit small for a family of four, with two double beds and no seating area; however, there are sofas outside. Despite its very central location, the rooms are quiet, although the Clove rooms are quieter than the Anistar rooms.
I really loved the friendliness of the staff. It’s worth listening to their advice on where to eat, especially since some restaurants have changed owners. We also loved the little local desserts that were brought to our room every night. Even though there are lots of plants around the mansion, there were no mosquitoes (and I get bitten very easily!). The check-in was very fast as well.
I would definitely return next time we visit George Town. The Anistar room was a bit small when staying with teenagers. There were lots of fireworks at random times during Deepavali week, and many shops and restaurants in Little India were closed; however, this is to be expected during that time of year.
- Alison (10/5): A lovely haven to relax in after a busy bustling day in George Town. Less than 10 minute walk from the ferry. - The thought and imagination put into making the property very welcoming and comfortable as well as being a very calm place to stay in.
The staff are very welcoming, professional, friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.
Liked the hotel’s eco credentials and the products used in their bathrooms. Nothing
- Yeong Soon (8/5): Offered as pre war Chinese Merchant mansion. Good conservation. - Room is spacious, but the bathroom wares are a bit run down. Great location, and bed offered are excellent. Pre war Chinese mansion with some alteration. Great experience and satisfying. Bathroom is clean, however bathtub is old.
- Schmarx (10/5): Ein Geschenk der Geschichte. Herrliches Haus! - Stilvolles renoviertes Chinesisches Shophouse im indischen Viertel. Das Haus ist ein Geschenk der Geschichte und es ist ein Traum hier zu wohnen. Sobald man den Eingang passiert, bleibt der Trubel der Stadt hinter einem. Herrlich, die Ruhe die im Haus herrscht. Die Zimmer sind einfach aber wertig eingerichtet, wir haben uns sehr wohl hier gefühlt. Wir kennen einige Unterkünfte in der Stadt, dieses Haus hat uns bisher am besten gefallen!
- Samina (10/5): Stunning boutique hotel - Can't recommend this highly enough. This place has so much character and is so beautifully decorated, you really feel like you're staying in a historic house. The staff are lovely and so helpful. The location is great and easy to get around either walking or a short drive away. Breakfast was good with continental one day and dim sum another. We stayed in Clove 1 and 2 which are interconnecting rooms, very spacious and spotless. Nothing to improve here, we were just sad to leave
