Good location in a beautiful old building. Lovely corridors and courtyard. We stayed in a family room. It was very spacious and comfortable. Strong AC and hot shower. Breakfast was superb and the welcome drink and afternoon snack were great touches. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Elevator was helpful for taking luggage up.

I had to ask for hand towels daily but after I asked for anything, all items I asked for (including hand towels) were delivered promptly. Suggestion for hotel to have a larger number of hand towels on hand so that guests don't have to ask for them. Didn't ask for face towels and room was never stocked with them but I would expect that having more face towels in stock would be appreciated?

Everyone was very kind and concerned about our experience. The hotel is beautiful and located on the edge of the historic area. The rooms are comfortable. They serve an amazing breakfast and tea. When on the first day, restaurant staff learned I was a vegetarian, they went and made special food for me! Then, afterwards they checked in with me to make sure I had a good selection. Quite amazing. A wonderful choice in Penang.

Each room comes with 2 ceiling fans plus an AC. Sufficient to keep the room cooling. However, facilities can be better. For instance shower head and bidget are abit worn out. I would give 5 stars for the customer service and will definitely patronise the hotel again if I am visiting Penang.

Toilet tank had a little trouble refilling, but that was easily fixed by adjusting the water control taps behind the toilets. Otherwise - everything perfect.

The hotel has a wonderful antique feeling to it from the entrance, the main areas, and the rooms. The single and the duplex rooms were equally spacious which was very appreciated. The staff is also 24/7 and so helpful when checking in and out. There was also complimentary tea time from 2-5 each day my family was there.
