in general everything was good. and mr. Bill was a very nice person where he greeted us personally and gave us lists for restaurants and best local food to go and eat.

I love the decoration.. i love the room, there are so beautiful and comfortable! The staffs are friendly. They guide us to many wonderful and interesting place to eat and visit

Location is very central, parking is convenient, and the staff is friendly and approachable. They provided a handy guide to good restaurants. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The doors had both manual and electronic locks. As a single female traveller, I felt safe. Will definitely come back.

The place was very well kept and staff was amazingly hospitable. The bathrooms were very spacious and clean, loved the way it's designed. Bed was very comfortable too! The owner had a good chat with us and personally suggested some local spots for us to get to. Overall loved the space.

- Bill and front desk Johan were super kind and helpful in providing all the tips of where to eat/visit - The facilities are very new, bedsheets and mattress are super comfy, the little patio on the second floor is cozy with a filtered cold water fountain - Located in a nice lane off the main road. Walkable to the heritage site.

Location. Cool interior design. Price. Johan gave us very personalized service. Awesome!

Located at strategic location, easily access to the tourist places and local famous food. The ambient of the hotel is cozy, room is nice and clean, perfect place to stay in Penang.

Booked during the cuti-cuti Malaysia period which is really value for money for the location and comfort the hotel offers. It’s a brand new beautiful boutique hotel with luxury mattress which makes our sleep extra comfortable. Johan who attended to us are very friendly and helpful, hope the management acknowledge him for his hard work.

Good location, comfortable bed/pillow, private parking and friendly boss who give good information about where to eat/ go.

Stay here when you come to Penang!! This property is brand new and in every corner you can tell how much love was put into making it a beautiful hotel. Very comfortable and well thought through rooms with many nice and very modern touches while still preserving a sense of Penangs cultural heritage. We booked for a night and ended up staying for 10 more because of how great a place it is. Bill, the owner, is a wonderful host and can give you recommendations fitting for any style of travelling. On top of it, the location is extremely central, close to the Komtar tower, night markets, breakfast places...really anything. Highly recommend staying here to explore Georgetown and Penang!
