The ambiance of the Blue Mansion is marvellous. Stillness in the courtyards, gentle breezes and tinkling Chinese musical instruments in the background made this venue very comfortable. The staff are in tune with the mood and are discreet yet always ready to help make the stay memorable. The climate in Penang can be very hot and humid; the bedrooms are air-conditioned and have ceiling fans - very comfortable for sleeping. The public spaces are shady and there are fans in the public rooms. We...

Muntri Mews is fabulous boutique accommodation in the heart of Georgetown. It is a wonderful base for exploring the historic heart of Georgetown. The only downside is the lack of assigned parking for the accommodation. You have to park in the street and obtain parking vouchers which are valid from 8.00am-6.00pm each day. On Sunday street parking is free. There is a fabulous cafe attached to the premises which serves interesting, yummy food throughout the day, beginning with breakfast. There...

Fantastic friendly hotel, the staff and management are exceptional. rooms are very clean and comfortable, very good location within Georgetown, easy walking to everything, food stalls only 1 street away. Food at the onsite restaurant Le Vie is delicious fine dining with an upmarket ambience. Roof top bar is cosy, barman Sharafat is a lot of fun and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend everything about this hotel.

We enjoyed our stay here!
We were able to check in early, provided with a welcoming gift, and throughout our stay all staff were accommodating.
Our room was very spacious for 3 adults and had many toiletries. The bedding was quite comfortable.
Continental breakfast buffet was quite limited for western food expect more Asian cuisine. Alwi always had a smile and was very helpful during breakfast time.

It is by far one of the best places I have stayed without spending an arm and a leg. We traveled from Australia and were impressed by the breakfast inclusion with room along with complimentary mini bar and bottled water throughout. We also had buffet dinner which was worth it. The place was so surreal and relaxing. The facilities and staff were excellent.

This is a beautiful heritage boutique hotel and from the moment we arrived we received the best welcome and service. The room was beautiful, spotlessly clean and tastefully appointed. The shower was fantastic (just remember to turn heater on from switch outside of bathroom - this is fairly typical of many Malaysian accommodations). I had the garden suite on the ground floor and thoroughly recommend it. We stayed at Christmas, and Santa had left a stocking filled with treats hanging from the door...
