“We had a lovely stay in a wonderful heritage building. We would highly recommend the hotel to others”
The staff are lovely and helpful. The building is beautiful and very peaceful but next to a road going into the centre ... easy to walk from it with plenty of eateries nearby.

I loved the feel of staying in a heritage home such as this Mansion, with its old world charm. I chose it for its close proximity to the places of interest too. We stayed in a pretty downstair room with windows that had blinds, but the light from outside filtered in somehow.

“Nice property with spacious rooms”
Convenient location with nice cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Love the courtyard- could feel the calmness as soon as we walk through the gate. The staff members are friendly and helpful. Free snacks, fruits and drinks for guests which are much appreciated. We didn’t get to use the pool but it is nice that it is available. The room is spacious and the bed is spacious and comfortable! And we love the decor with cultural elements!

“Best boutique hotel I've been to in Georgetown.”
If you want a close by place, old style, and to live in what the house could look like in the olden time this is the best. You can hear the Azan, prayer. With brass all over and a nice small but very old-style pool. I loved every second of it and by far the hardest place to leave in my trip to Malaysia.

“Charming boutique hotel, family friendly & great location”
Absolutely charming boutique hotel in a nice part of Penang where you’re still in a quiet area but an easy walk or Grab to the closest places of interest, malls, eateries etc. I loved the Mansion Villa room as it was like a little house and great for our family of 3 with a toddler who could enjoy playing downstairs or in the outdoor courtyard. Our toddler also loved the outdoor fountain, pool and nearby local playground. The staff were really nice and accomodating. We also loved the communal dining table as we had multiple rooms/families on the trip we could congregate there, dining facilities to use & air con.
