A hotel of two halves. A fantastic, well maintained, period hotel on one side of the road, that appears in all the photos. And a set of less well maintained albeit very large units on the other side of the road. We were on that side. Also the swimming pool is now full of plants. Based on our stay the hotel was mis sold. Still very good value. And the breakfast and restaurant was very good.

It was a traditional guest room atmosphere, but it was a pity that there were failures in some places. The response of the staff is not particularly good, and I have the impression that it is normal.

The hotel was unique and beautiful and spacious! Expedia has errors in the listing, so if a pool is an absolute requirement, do not stay here, there is NO POOL. We booked this place with a pool in mind for the kids, but we arrived to find out that Expedia details were wrong. The hotel doesn't deal with Expedia directly so they are not responsible for that misinformation. We noted that on other websites the information was correct. That being said, we were glad we stayed at this hotel despite the lack of pool. The location was amazing, the unique quirks of this historic building we're charming, and the staff were fantastic. The breakfast buffet was well stocked and ensured our whole family was ready each day of exploring that followed.

7am breakfast, only 1 person is working and not quite ready to serve your guests. Coffee machine not working and no one to ask. No one is there. The bread is straight out from the fridge. The location is next to a motorcycle shop. Very noise when they are testing their customers bike. Room is clean.

Location is very good and staff friendly, but concierge services were poor when seeking advice re places to eat. The room was comfortable and had a nice balcony, but one floorboard was broken, covered by a mat. Breakfast was disappointing - many items in the warmers were cold and it was hit and miss getting eggs cooked the way you liked depending on who was on duty. Often food that had run our was not restocked in a timely manner at times leaving little choice. Overall it appeared that the kitchen was understaffed and not particularly vigilant.

Högre förväntningar

Vårt sällskap hade två rum på olika våningar och olika riktningar. Mot gatan var det svårt att sova pga ljud, rummen var inte så rena och det luktade överlag rätt unket. Vi hade förväntat oss mer av ett 4-stjärnigt hotell. Personalen och frukosten var dock jättebra.

Super cute, but the hardest mattresses ever

This hotel is *super* cute, and the breakfast spreads were quite good (I've had better, but those were pretty extreme). The location is great for walking around downtown. Note that the Transfer rooms require walking up two flights of stairs. The wifi speed was good, but maxed out on three devices. The second day there wasn't a lot of hot water for some reason. Check-in was a bit slow, but not unreasonably so. My biggest problem was that the beds were *super* hard. While I hope to visit Penang again, I won't be staying at this hotel just because of the mattresses, they were that bad. It was practically just a 1-inch layer of foam on top of a box-spring, it was that hard. Unfortunately hard mattresses are sort of a southeast asian thing so I am not sure other places will be much better either.

This hotel is in the perfect location. It had everything you need and very comfortable as well. Can be a little noisy as it’s located on a main road but it’s not too bad and they do provide you with ear plugs. Excellent staff, everything is as described on the site as well.
