Staying at this beautifully restored heritage shophouse made our visit to Penang so much more special and memorable. Tee, the manager was very helpful, often going beyond what is expected, especially helping us with our elderly parents. He knows Penang really well, especially where the best hawker food can be found. Our day tour of the island with Tee turned... More

Stayed for 1 night but wish I had stayed for another night in this beautifully restored Peranakan style hotel. We stayed in the Attic room which was roomy for 2, spaciously laid out with a queen size bed, living area, shower room, toilet and a high ceiling. While the owners do not stay there, it was nice to have the... More

What a gem indeed! Everything about this place is special. Tee made us feel very welcome on arrival and the house is well set up with annotated maps of good local eateries, water and a fridge so we could buy supplies and make our own breakfasts. especially enjoyed the huge jar of iced gems that we managed to demolish. While... More

This is a real gem, a lovingly restored shophouse, located in a quiet street amongst galleries and close to cafes and local shops where bottled water, beer, snacks etc were easily available. We stayed in the Phoenix suite and were delighted with the antique furniture, the classic timber shutters and general decor. The queen sized bed was very comfortable and... More

Firstly, the quiet location at Lebuh Armenian was lovely. It was tranquil with minimal traffic. It is also conveniently located in Georgetown, close to good food at Lebuh Chulia and Chowrasta market. Very easy walking distance once you get the hang of the roads. The Phoniex Room where we stayed was nice. Old and yet new. It was very clean... More

Guesthouse located in beautifully restored shophouse. The interior has been lovingly restored and just walking around the building is a treat. We had a large room (Peony Suite) with all mod cons. The one downside with our room, which may not apply to others, was that the bathroom was not en-suite. It was accessed through a common area and although... More
