Guest Reviews

Nikolas (10/5): Absolut brilliant 🤩 can’t wait to be back! - Everything! Nil
Kriskkumar (9/5): Overall, fantastic stay. Would highly recommend it. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming - Fantastic service from the get-go. We had a welcome drink and the staff showed us to our room. In addition, we were also offered a drink at the bar (of our choice). Facilities in the room is great as well! Breakfast was delicious as well. Good location! Not many rooms here, so it feels a bit more tranquil. The pillows had a musty odor, likely because they weren't dried properly after laundering. Could have asked the staff to change it, but was too late and didn't feel like dealing with it. Toilet seat doesn't come with a bidet. Some plugs were difficult to use because of its positioning (especially if you have a big charging brick)

Shannon (10/5): Exceptional -
Ciaran (9/5): Superb -
Chong (10/5): Exceptional - Staff was very friendly and hospitable. Special thanks to Lynn, manager of the Coffee Place, who was exceptional and very attentive to our needs and requests. Great place for latte! The whole mansion was delightfully fragrant and beautifully decorated. Quality of cocktails could be better.
Dr (10/5): Exceptional - Such a gorgeous luxury boutique hotel. The in the rules are tastefully and beautifully done. Room is spacious and love the Aesop amenities provided.. Location wise is good and convenient.
Adh71 (9/5): Wonderful staff and exclusive feel - Wonderful staff, few rooms and guests gives an exclusive feel. Blanc restaurant is excellent. A little noisy and some creaky floors but didn't really affect us.
Mozammal (10/5): Very special hotel ! - Service was excellent Room was amazing Nothing

Li (9/5): Overall wonderful stay, staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are well designed and unt - Unique heritage building with over 100 years of history Lack of bidet
Yoong (9/5): One of the best hotel i had stay - Breakfast was ok, food is nice but the choice was not as much. The preparation for our anniversary deco is very well-done. the mini bar drinks is ok, quality. the speaker is nice with very good quality. bath is clean and the accessories for bath is complete

Verified traveler (10/5): - Overall good
On Ki (10/5): Nice decoration and helpful staff - Everything is perfect! We love this hotel.
Tong (10/5): - The stay was so pleasant - the room was large and comfortable, great toilets and bed too. The location is conveniently near the georgetown area so you can take a short walk down whenever.
AP (10/5): - A place that I will definitely be back again. Great job to the operation team!
Suru (10/5): - Extremely friendly staff and very good service. Small hotel gives a homely feeling. Really enjoying our stay.
Pattrick (8/5): - Amaze with the unique interior design of the room stayed, a combination between vintage and modern feels. However it located in the middle of the town.
Jeff (10/5): A great alternative to a large high-end hotel! - Macalister Mansion is a really cool place to stay. Each of its only 8 rooms are unique. We stayed in room 3 which was amazing. The bar and lounge areas are quite funky. But dont expect to meet a lot of other guests given only 8 rooms in the hotel.
Jeff (8/5): One of a kind - We booked is hotel because it is one if a kind which has only 8 rooms. A quite retreat/getaway for our anniversary. The facilities is great but we didn't use them much. One thing I want to touch on is the cleanliness of the room. The cushions on the chairs and carpet have stains all over. I even called the front desk about the stains and they told me they are aware of them. I was surprised that they still vacant for guest. I don't think this room should be posted for guest to stay until the room is cleaned. We stayed in Room 6.
Jas (6/5): Room nice but hotel grounds lacking - The plus for this hotel are the rooms: nicely designed, upscale, roomy and comfortable. The downside is the outdoor space : is underutilized so outdoor tables and chairs are dirty and wet long after a rain. The location is on a street with views of a political party headquarters and a group of shophouses- no Georgetown charm. With a little more effort, they could improve the landscaping. Although the hotel is rather new, signs of wear and tear visible- peeling paint outside and stained carpet inside.
Melissa (10/5): Great hotel, very nicely appointed rooms. - Enjoyed our time at Macalister Mansion, great hotel staff, & room facilities.
D & J (8/5): Excellent location for us! - Excellent room / amenities! Unfortunately they accommodate smokers in lounge & bar facilitating stale smoke in hallways & breakfast dining rooms.
Jack (10/5): Fantastic hotel though a bit far from the city - Fantastic hotel with a nice, spacious and comfortable room. The room is well-maintained and the amenities are luxurious. You get to choose from the different types of pillow provided. We booked Room #2 that has minimum photos on the internet. The room is well furnished and big. We loved the bathroom that is so pretty and spacious too, with the rain shower and tub! The room overlook the swimming pool and makes for a nice morning view!
Robin (10/5): Amazing rooms and decor, great service, great food - We spent 2 nights at the Macalister Mansion and loved it. The decor throughout the common areas is spectacular. They have a whiskey and cigar lounge with a great selection if that's your thing, but food in the restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. We didn't get the chance to check out their fine dining option, but I'm guessing it was good too. The bar is a great place to have a drink, and the wine selection is good. Service was excellent, pool was nice, room was delightful, and mini bar was complimentary, what more can you ask for?
MOHD SUKARNO (10/5): The Best hotel in Penang !! - This is a very Chic 8 suite boutique hotel which has the coolest and chic decorations of all the hotels in Penang. The bar area reminded me of Sketch's in London with all the quirky decor items. It is the most expensive hotel in Penang but well worth it for the experience!! The cafe is an excellent place to spend the lazy afternoon with some tea/coffee and the tasty pastries. And of course the fine dining restaurant is the place to go to impress your guests in Penang with its chic decor and expensive set menus and fine wines.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Macalister Mansion lives up to its reputation of being a beautiful hotel. With only 8 rooms, you will have an exclusive personalised experience. The only points I think is worth being mindful are: (a) the location of the hotel is a bit further out of the UNESCO site (b) the hotel has a proper restaurant, and breakfast is served there. If you like hotel buffets, this might not be your cup of tea.
tamimi (10/5): Unexpected deposit - One of the best hotels we have stayed in so far . But we were caught by surprise when we had to pay a deposit of rm900/night!!! (Although we had made full payments ahead). The room was MAGNIFICENT! Spacious , comfy, and the complimentary snacks were high-end. They even have a turn down service which we didn't ask for. the staffs were so friendly and accommodating.
Verified traveler (10/5): perfect hotel - It was an amazing experience. Fantastic staff. Would go back again and again.
