Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. This was really a flawless hotel. I was looking for a heritage hotel and this fit the bill. Stand outs were the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, all of them! The location, the breakfast which offered perfect variety without being an overwhelming buffet, the rooms, the coffee machine and cleanliness were all excellent.

Individually designed rooms are fitted with classic wood furnishings and air conditioning. They have a safe, hairdryer and tea/coffee maker. The Blue Mansion was such a treat to be part of a historical heritage place. The staff were very helpful and the atomsphere so serene in a beuatiful building. Highly recommended.

Situated in George Town, 1.4 km from Northam Beach, Eastern & Oriental Hotel features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers a concierge service, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. We had a room in the heritage wing and it was huge. The bathroom is almost as big as some rooms in inner city hotels in e.g., Tokyo. The seating area with the sofa was great for relaxing in the evening. I also liked that we had plenty of water (and other minibar items) everyday, including a newspaper. The breakfast at Sarkies was great; we especially liked the Omelette and Roti station, and also the Kue Talam. Lastly, we mostly stayed at the Heritage Wing pool, which is very scenic, with the ocean on one side and the historic building on the other.

Situated in George Town, 2.3 km from Northam Beach and 500 metres from 1st Avenue Penang, My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, free bikes and a shared lounge. It is located less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar and offers private check-in and check-out. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. Such a warm and cozy atmosphere for a hostel, and it's rare for any property to look even better in person than in the photos :) Great communication from May was also appreciated both in the listing details and messages prior to our stay.

Situated within the UNESCO World Heritage city of Georgetown, Coffee Atelier is a collection of 5 beautifully-restored shophouses dating back to 1927. Featuring spacious suites with free Wi-Fi, it an art gallery and its own coffee museum. Absolutely loved this ground floor, delightful, traditional shophouse accommodation. Such a gem of a place. Very comfortable and roomy, especially with having the enclosed outside verandah to sit and relax. Very peaceful, yet so convenient for restaurants etc. We felt Ruby was exceedingly helpful, offering advice and tips on places to visit etc.
