“A bit marmite”
It’s a heritage budget hotel in a good location in central GT. The house has character. The family room even though there were only two of us was spacious. The bed was comfortable, mercifully there was air con which was efficient. Not sure about the fan which was covered in dust and was pointing no where useful. The WiFi was erratic and at times non existent. I don’t regret staying in the hotel as it was an interesting experience though I am unlikely to repeat it. The shower worked efficiently. The owner was friendly and as it was Chinese New Year he was informative about local events.

“Perfect for any stay in Georgetown!”
Location was superb and perfect for our time in Georgetown. Walkable to everything and quiet enough for a relaxing moment throughout. Travelling with a family we felt really looked after! Kent and his colleague (Yulia) took good care of us!

“3 days in Georgetown.”
I had a really excellent stay in this weird, lovely autentic old Guest-House. My room was like a tiny-house, ground floor 2,5 x 3 m was living room and toilet, 1st floor was sleeping room. Located in nice tropical garden. I’ll be back and book same room next time in Penang.

“Unique”
A small Oasis in the town, charming and lovely decorated. Kent did a really warm welcome and was very helpful to get along the city. Everything you need or want to see in the old town is within walking distance. A great stay at a lovely place!

The environment was vintage and clean at the same time. Great location for walking around the town, and quite a quiet place.
