    My room was right next to the back door. I could hear the door opening beep sound clearly in the middle of the night. It would be great if they can switch off the sound and tune down the spot light at the back door as well.

    The location is really good, there are a few nice cafe along the street and it is very close to the jetty. The design of the room was cool.

    The smell after you pass through the toilet. A bit unpleasant but overall is okay

    How easy to check in and check out. The location very good. The places that we visited, nearby and walkable. The security very good. They have access key to the block and floor level.

    Charming little hotel with complete amenities and perfect location in Georgetown. My room was just as pictured here, and it's right next to the backdoor so I had easy access to Victoria street (might not be convenient for light sleepers because people are going in and out). I found a great breakfast place that I kept coming back to, just 2 mins away from the hotel (Loong Fong Cafe).

    The key to the door was a bit tricky to get out on occasion as it would sometimes jam but aside from that there was next to nothing wrong with our stay.

    The room was beautifully decorated. And the facilities were wonderful, the safety of the entrances added extra comfort. And it was in a fantastic location which was easy walking distance to many attractions.

    We had dinner one night of our 5 night stay at the RARE Heritage House & the communication from the waiter was not good. It was a set menu, but his explanation of that was extremely confusing. It took a little bit of a shine off our dining experience. The food though was very nice & beautifully presented.

    It was great to stay in a renovated/remodelled long house in Penang. Enjoyed the cultural history of this building. Our studio room with the loft bedroom was clean, comfortable & in good location for exploring George Town. It was handy having two street entrances, easy walking distance to restaurants, cafes & shops.The stairs were a bit of a challenge, but also did us a favour with helping to build up our legs for all the walking we did do.

    Staff Availability: There were no staff around when we tried to check in at 2pm so we had to go for lunch with our luggages TV: TV offers local channel and will be better if it has access to YouTube or allow us to cast from our phones.

    Location: Hotel is conveniently located in Penang and very near good cafés so you're always within reach for your caffeine fix. Room: Room is spacious and the bed is comfortable Design: Lighting in the room is a bit dark but overall, the hotel is well designed.

    At first, when we arrived and want to check-in, the recepsionist did not give us clear information about the room, I had to back and forth to find my room. Sometimes, I could hear people who walked away around the hallway, but it was minor.

    I love the ambience of the hotel, I interest with the restaurant also. I enjoy the room with its decoration that gave us jetty situation. The room was also have good facilities included iron and hair dryer, except the TV because channels is limited. The location is good because near to the jetty, kopitiam and armenian street.
