Guest Reviews
- Simon (8/5): Lovely Home in the heart of George Town - The house was cosy and comfortable The Breakfast was disappointing
- Richard (8/5): A great location - Location was excellent, right in the heart of Georgetown. The hotel decor and ambiance were very nice; quite colonial I found the breakfast was adequate but with little choice.
- Michael (9/5): - Beautiful architecture and friendly, polite staff. The beds were more firm than we are used to in hotel accommodation.
- LEONARD (8/5): -
- 王 (10/5): - 很有特色的裝飾,服務人員很親切,環境乾淨安靜。
- Steven (8/5): We had a great time - Location was perfect to explore Georgetown Breakfast was okay but was exactly the same every morning
- Ann-Kathrin (9/5): -
- Elizabeth (10/5): -
- Daniele (8/5): -
- Jenny (8/5): Loved the location & friendly staff - Great Location. Fabulous building and really friendly staff The beds were hard as other guests had commented on. Communal areas were lacking slighty
- Raymond (8/5): Good location and clean. - Nicely decorated and clean with new bedroom makeover. No facilities
- Marcos (10/5): -
- Ian (5/5): Basic hotel in a good location. - Location Breakfast

- Jill (10/5): -
- ELLEN (1/5): - Este hotel ha cobrado un deposito de 68€ bajo el falso pretenso de volvernoslo a la salida, hace un mes.
A pesar de varios emails y llamadas no nos han devuelto el mismo. Hecho que pienso denunciar ante los autoridades pertinentes.
- YANG (10/5): -
- Carlos (7/5): Hotel bien cuidado con desayuno horrible - La habitación grande, antigua peró bien cuidada, jardin magnifico en habitacion La recepción y un desayuno mas que nefasto y mas para los occidentales, casi incomible
- Bartosz (10/5): Z przyjemnością bym tu wrócił. - Wszystko na najwyższym poziomie. Począwszy od zaangażowanej we wszystko obsługi po jakość i utrzymanie obiektu.
Piękny hotel w starym kolonialnym stylu to coś czego oczekiwałem. Dbałość o detale, stan utrzymania oraz atmosfera na najwyższym poziomie. Jeśli ktoś poszukuje klimatycznego miejsca w centrum miasta , w którym z przyjemnością spędzi się każdą minutę to ten hotel jest godny polecenia.
Stosunek jakości do ceny, rewelacyjny. Nie ma słabych punktów.
- Q (10/5): - Beautiful hotel at a great location and the friendliest staff! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to be back.

- Jill (9/5): Interesting historic small hotel offering excellent service in a highly convenient location - Small hotel in a historic building close enough to the centre of Georgetown historic distric but on a peaceful side street. Very easy to walk to tourist sites. Staff very helpful. Simple but excellent breakfast. Excellent value for money. Being picky the bed was a little hard but having said that I slept well having walked for miles around the city. Fine for a short stay.
- Jennifer (9/5): - Traditional style
- Wishwa Prabodh (9/5): -

- BUNNA (10/5): - The ever smiling staff and services that will not let you down. No modern facilities like gym, swimming pool or banquet but not too much of an issue because it is vintage and very comforting vibes in all areas.
- Oleksii M. (9/5): -
- helen (10/5): Comfortable, spacious rooms, tastefully furnished, wonderful ambience - Brilliant Pan-Malaysia breakfast - I mixed nasi lemak and scrambled eggs.
Warm and friendly staff Next time I might try and book a ground floor room - stairs are very steep.
- Søren (9/5): - Super hotel
Virkelig god beliggenhed Morgenmaden kunne være bedre
- Celeste (10/5): - Twee heerlijke nachten gehad in Nam Keng! De Garden Suite is ruim, schoon en stil! Dat laatste was met name heel fijn na een enorm gehorig verblijf elders. Het personeel is superlief en verwelkomend. Ze zorgden voor een smakelijke verrassing voor de verjaardag van mijn vriend. Toen we vroegen of we onze tassen, voordat we naar het vliegveld, gingen konden stallen, boden ze gratis een late check-out aan. We kregen ook nog een afscheidscadeautje. Het inbegrepen ontbijt is ook fijn en lekker! Kortom: topverblijf. Fijnste tijdens onze reis!
- Andreas (8/5): -
- Mushfiqur (10/5): -
- Ruth (8/5): - Comfortable, large rooms in a great location.
Nice, heritage building.
Free breakfast. The internet didn’t work well in our room.
You could hear music from the bar down the street late at night.
- Cheuk Wah (8/5): Nice Hotel - The room was quite nicely furnished and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Sound proofing - the hotel locates in a narrow street and we could hear some live music from a bar/club somewhere nearby. It was almost midnight.
- Eric (8/5): Friendly little stay - Centre location clean tidy
Gd Reno of old store shop and cuts accom Firm bed firm pillows
Morning noise from local building
- Anandita (10/5): Comfortable, clean hotel in an excellent location - Wonderful atmospheric hotel, very clean and walking distance to all the popular attractions in Georgetown. Surrounded by many restaurants and shops. Lovely Peranakan decor. Very helpful staff and nice, hot breakfast.
Suitable for guests without cars as there is no parking space. I shared with the staff that there needs to be better ventilation in the toilets as there was a bad smell.
- Sahni (10/5): - Everything about the hotel and especially the front staff Tharan,. Very humble and helpful person. Room windows could open for fresh air
- Rikke (10/5): Beautiful heritage property - would recommend - Really elegant and well decorated, elegant - good attention to detail and a sense of authentic heritage house… good atmosphere, super kind and helpful staff in reception - and breakfast was SUPER tasty!! The noise from the street and music from surrounding venues were a bit loud over the weekend..
- Isha (10/5): -
- Richard (8/5): - Quietly located heritage house, close to amenities. Pleasant home-like ambience Breakfast offering a little thin. Some fresh fruit and eggs would be nice.
- Kai (10/5): -
- MIRIAM (10/5): Muy recomendable - El hotel es muy bonito, muy bien emplazado!
La habitación estaba muy limpia y el personal fue encantador. Muy recomendable.
- Manasa Hosabettu (9/5): -
- Wei-Chen (9/5): 可以住一兩晚體驗南洋風情住宿 - 員工親切、地理位置佳(附近就是知名夜市,距離不少有名的小吃店、景點都可以步行抵達) 淋浴的水壓跟溫度不太穩定
- Magenta (9/5): 服務周到 - 雖然沒有電梯,但check-in 時,酒店服務人員會協助二樓的旅客將行李搬上樓;當服務人員知道我們的行程等不及酒店早餐供應時間時,主動提議可以協助配合我們的時間提供簡易的咖啡/茶...等。
- Carsten (9/5): - Ein wunderbares Hotel, sehr gepflegt und sauber. Die Zimmer waren liebevoll hergerichtet, das Personal super hilfsbereit und freundlich.
- Magdalena (9/5): -
- Angel Gabriel (10/5): Perfect hotel with perfect location! - If you’re looking for a cozy, centrally located hotel in Georgetown, this is the one. We stayed from September 15th to 18th and honestly, we can’t thank the staff enough. They were always there for us, even with little things outside the hotel (like helping us figure out where to do laundry). Everyone was so genuinely kind and welcoming.
There wasn’t a single negative point during our stay. We loved everything — the breakfasts (simple but with everything you need), the spotless cleanliness, the comfy room… and what really won our hearts was the beautiful décor and the hotel’s central area. It felt special from the very first moment.
We’d definitely come back without hesitation!
- fii (10/5): - 予期せぬ騒音があり、姉妹のホテルへ部屋を変えていただけました。フロントのスタッフの方は嫌な顔せず何度も対応してくださり、スタッフの皆さまがとても心優しく、最初は不安になりましたが、結果的にとてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
- Florian (9/5): Great colonial style hotel in the middle of Georgetown - Colonial style hotel with decent facilities and a beautiful room including complementary breakfast. The hotel is ideally located if you like to hang out in Georgetown. The TV did not offer international channels, the breakfast repeats itself for three days and the coffee is not as good as you expect as a western traveler.
- Parichut (9/5): -
- Ning (5/5): Regret ! - The location is good , close to food street . The towels and sheets were not clean , even the cups and plates in the restaurant has stains . WiFi in the room doesn’t work .
- valerio (9/5): - Struttura molto bella in tipico palazzo.
Posizione centrale.
Personale estremamente cortese e disponibile. Colazione limitata e ripetitiva, uguale tutti i giorni.
- Nicky (9/5): -
- Irene (9/5): - Habitaciones muy limpias. Bonito hotel decorado del estilo a una casa colonial. Muy céntrico a nada de la calle principal de los bares/ restaurantes.
Además el personal muy amable y dispuestos a ayudar 24 horas El desayuno poco variado
- Chin-ping (9/5): 因為復古的風格所以選擇了這間飯店,雖然飯店不大,但該有的配置都有,且服務佳;位子位於鬧區,非常方便,但小缺點就是隔音沒有那麼好。 - 地理位置佳,飯店古色古香,早餐種類雖然不多,但很好吃;員工都很親切!
- Craig Sanders (10/5): - Friendly staff, lovely hotel and very nice breakfast
- keovichith (9/5): Découverte de Penang - Emplacement idéal pour découvrir la ville. Le personnel est d'une grande gentillesse. Très accueillant et toujours disponible. Rien
- Stephanie (10/5): - Friendly
Staff
- Valerie (10/5): - This was such a beautiful space to call home base while we explored Penang. The staff was so kind and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The room was beautiful. I would stay there again anytime.
- linglev (8/5): - This hotel is in the style of the old shophouses around it, so you really have a feeling of immersing yourself in the neighborhood. The room was cozy. I enjoyed the simple breakfast. It is like a small inn rather than a hotel. Nothing to cite.
- Yihan (10/5): - 地理位置很好,早上在很漂亮的中庭吃早餐,樣式不多,但味道很不錯
- Kevin (10/5): Lovely hotel full of character. - Beautifully maintained hotel with lots of character. Hotel is in a quiet side street.
- Álvaro (7/5): Cómodo - Ubicación muy buena.
Interior con aires coloniales.
- James (9/5): -
- Valentina (6/5): Buon potenziale ma c’è molto da lavorare - Bella posizione e struttura storica Pulizia della struttura non eccelsa, asciugamani rovinati, fiori finti sparsi per la struttura, personale poco proattivo e poco collaborativo. Chiudo con la colazione che è solo per ospiti malesi, la parte dolce e’ minima (pane da toast e marmellata confezionata del supermercato) davvero di bassa qualità. Questa struttura non vale il prezzo che costa, viste le numerose strutture in città a prezzi migliori e con servizi di qualità ben più alta.
- Floriana (7/5): - Shop house ristrutturata nel cuore di George Town, bella la posizione Camere non bene insonorizzate e quindi si sente la musica dei locali vicini fino al mattino dopo, non si dorme bene. Colazione davvero misera
- Anna Lynn (10/5): Great stay! - Great location - tourist spots, food and shopping.
- Jose David (10/5): -
- Annian (9/5): -
- David (10/5): - The Hotel has maintained it's heritage appearance. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Only negative comment is "broccoli for breakfast"?????
- Marc (8/5): -
- Tonia (10/5): - It is a beautifully renovated, small hotel in the heart of the UNESCO heritage area of Georgetown, within walking distance to lots of dining options and interesting sites. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast and the small gift were lovely too. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay. Thank you!
- YI CHIEN (7/5): - 房間和屋子為老宅改建成旅館,很有南洋檳城風格,員工服務親切,有提供簡易早餐 房間201的熱水器沒有作用,打開了熱水也一下就沒了,連兩晚都只能洗冷水澡,看google評論之前同間住客也有一樣問題
- Kate (9/5): It was wonderful and I would highly recommend - Full of traditional features Nothing I didn’t like
- Ivan_Sch (8/5): Consigliato per una tappa veloce a George Town - Camera ordinata e pulita Bagno di dimensioni ridotte
- Dan (10/5): Lovely hotel in Georgetown - Excellent hotel in a nice central location. Easy access to sights in Georgetown.
Lovely traditional style building with some nice features. Staff at reception were always very friendly and helpful.
- Sabrine (8/5): Nice vintage hotel - The room was big, clean and very comfortable
The soundproofing is excellent, we booked the suite in front of the reception but we don’t hear anything. Very quiet hotel despite being in the center of George Town.
The receptionists were nice and welcoming. I think they can improve the breakfast. Stayed jn cheaper hotels same area and got better breakfast.
- Fereshteh (9/5): Fantastic hotel in the centre of town - Lovely rooms, comfortable bed, great aircon, new bathrooms with good showers. Really nothing to complain about.
- MING CHEN (10/5): - 員工親切。 無。
