“Beautiful stay and friendly staff”
Location just off Little India, only a few minutes walk to Georgetown attractions. We felt very looked after by staff members . They went above and beyond to take care of us- even explained the attractions in Penang! Breakfasts provided were delicious. Beautiful decorations and courtyard. They also prepare your room for the night.

It was a beautiful restored old house. The rooms was very comfortable and the facilities were amazing. There was a kitchen available to store food and drink in and coffee and tea always available. The staff were also so wonderful and did a turn down service leaving little snacks for us and a gift for our toddler.

Our stay was amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Satya. All the amenities provided were very thoughtful and the rooms were always clean and cool. It's also located near a lot of great spots to eat and they even provided a list of recommendations and a map marked with sightseeing spots.

“Great, authentic stay in George Town.”
Beautiful building. We stayed 4 nights and really enjoyed the ambiance, and the staff were amazing. The room didn't have a window to the outside, but that is part of the experience and the design of the building. There were plenty of areas to sit and relax. It was very peaceful. We were able to get tea each morning. Breakfast was available at an extra cost, however, we didn't take this option. Great location close to Little India and the interesting streets of the heritage area. The massage place next door was good too.

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.

“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).
