First we have to complement the outstanding courtesy and help offered by Jennifer and her colleagues; they were so helpful even in changing our original booking times and arranging some changes in flights. Couldn't have done it without them. I must admit we were a little disappointed with our room, although it was very simply functional. Having lived in Penang... More

Our experience at Palanquinn was just lovely. We were in one of the Mezzanine rooms which was spacious and quiet compared to most other parts of Penang. The hosts, Jennifer and another helpful young lady, went out of their way to find good vegetarian eating places for my partner and I, and we did find an amazing one - Evergreen,... More

First of all, if you'r in doubt about the type of accommodation to take in Palanquinn - the answer is simple - book the Loft Suite. It's nice to have particularly whole heritage house for you stay. Great living room, nice colonial style bedroom with excellent bed and pillows. Impressive open-style bathroom, which is comfortable even if it is raining... More

We stayed at the Loft Suite for 2 nights. It was located upstairs, with a separate bedroom, bathroom, living room and balcony. We especially enjoyed the living room, with the huge daybed and pretty coloured windows opening into the balcony. The bathroom was huge and open-air, looking down to the street. I found the street noise bearable and had no... More

We stayed at the Loft Suite for 4 nights. It was the smell of the suite, that brought back memories of more than 30 years ago when I last visited my late grandma in Penang. These are old buildings, but they are renovated, clean and well maintained. We have access to hotel convenience of air-conditioning, WIFI, satellite TV, etc in... More

We have booked but didn't stay in Palanquinn due to my sudden health condition. However I have to show my appreciation to both Palanquinn and Booking.com about their care for customers. We have booked 2 nites with uncancellable room rate. Right after our booking, Jennifer from Palanquinn already sending us useful info about the accommodation, local transportation and other local...

We stayed at the Palanquinn Heritage Suites in the double room with terrace in January 2013. The staff was very welcoming and gave us lots of tips for sightseeing in Georgetown as well as sightseeing and dining tips for the local area. The room is decorated in a colonial style and was absolutely lovely. It was clean and the bed... More

We stayed at the Mezzanine suite for four nights in Dec, 2012. The room was equipped with its basic necessities, including cable TV Astro. WiFi is available, although it may be slightly unstable if you stay on the upper floor. There are even DVDs provided, which can be requested from the staff. I have to commend on the toilet: its...

Let me start off by saying that the team at Palanquinn deserves a perfect 10. They are absolutely hospitable, very friendly and quite simply, amazing hosts. Starting from booking to airport pick up, check in and checkout, everything was seamless and smooth. It was unfortunately a case of mismatched expectations. The website and more importantly, the pricing put the Palanquinn... More
