Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. This is a beautifully restored building in Little India! The hotel rooms are comfortable and have an AC (although you probably won't even need it, given the excellent construction). Staff were incredibly helpful, providing advice on the local area and even helping us get local street food when we had to leave before the breakfast buffet opened. The breakfast buffet is amazing, providing both Western options and local specialties. The location is amazing as well, in easy walking distance to shops, eateries and sights as well as the free shuttle bus.
