“Fantastic location! Staff really friendly, asked for something for my boyfriends birthday and they brought a cake to the door! Rooms very clean and quiet from the road, it’s very close to a busy, lively street but you cannot hear that from the room.”

“A gem of a hotel in a great part of the old town. Staff are so kind and courteous. It was a beautiful, character-filled place to stay in Penang and the pool and air conditioning made it so comfortable.”
Mark

“it's an inviting feel to it, much like being in the home of a wealthy favourite aunt, getting your own room with ensuite, aircon, poolside view, excellent bathing shower facility with a nice restaurant nearby and surrounded by attentive staff,”
Joanna
United Kingdom
“Serenity in the heart of the nightlife. The quality was superb, staff were excellent, setting was perfect with no awareness of being just 200 metres from the busy bars of Chulia Street, even late at night sat in the courtyard. Would highly recommend!”
