The stay was so pleasant - the room was large and comfortable, great toilets and bed too. The location is conveniently near the georgetown area so you can take a short walk down whenever.

Macalister Mansion is a really cool place to stay. Each of its only 8 rooms are unique. We stayed in room 3 which was amazing. The bar and lounge areas are quite funky. But dont expect to meet a lot of other guests given only 8 rooms in the hotel.

We booked is hotel because it is one if a kind which has only 8 rooms. A quite retreat/getaway for our anniversary. The facilities is great but we didn't use them much. One thing I want to touch on is the cleanliness of the room. The cushions on the chairs and carpet have stains all over. I even called the front desk about the stains and they told me they are aware of them. I was surprised that they still vacant for guest. I don't think this room should be posted for guest to stay until the room is cleaned. We stayed in Room 6.

The plus for this hotel are the rooms: nicely designed, upscale, roomy and comfortable. The downside is the outdoor space : is underutilized so outdoor tables and chairs are dirty and wet long after a rain. The location is on a street with views of a political party headquarters and a group of shophouses- no Georgetown charm. With a little more effort, they could improve the landscaping. Although the hotel is rather new, signs of wear and tear visible- peeling paint outside and stained carpet inside.

Fantastic hotel with a nice, spacious and comfortable room. The room is well-maintained and the amenities are luxurious. You get to choose from the different types of pillow provided. We booked Room #2 that has minimum photos on the internet. The room is well furnished and big. We loved the bathroom that is so pretty and spacious too, with the rain shower and tub! The room overlook the swimming pool and makes for a nice morning view!

We spent 2 nights at the Macalister Mansion and loved it. The decor throughout the common areas is spectacular. They have a whiskey and cigar lounge with a great selection if that's your thing, but food in the restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. We didn't get the chance to check out their fine dining option, but I'm guessing it was good too. The bar is a great place to have a drink, and the wine selection is good. Service was excellent, pool was nice, room was delightful, and mini bar was complimentary, what more can you ask for?

This is a very Chic 8 suite boutique hotel which has the coolest and chic decorations of all the hotels in Penang. The bar area reminded me of Sketch's in London with all the quirky decor items. It is the most expensive hotel in Penang but well worth it for the experience!! The cafe is an excellent place to spend the lazy afternoon with some tea/coffee and the tasty pastries. And of course the fine dining restaurant is the place to go to impress your guests in Penang with its chic decor and expensive set menus and fine wines.

Macalister Mansion lives up to its reputation of being a beautiful hotel. With only 8 rooms, you will have an exclusive personalised experience. The only points I think is worth being mindful are: (a) the location of the hotel is a bit further out of the UNESCO site (b) the hotel has a proper restaurant, and breakfast is served there. If you like hotel buffets, this might not be your cup of tea.

One of the best hotels we have stayed in so far . But we were caught by surprise when we had to pay a deposit of rm900/night!!! (Although we had made full payments ahead). The room was MAGNIFICENT! Spacious , comfy, and the complimentary snacks were high-end. They even have a turn down service which we didn't ask for. the staffs were so friendly and accommodating.
