Welcome to Georgetown, Penang ! An idyllic 19th century historical town of East and West blending in beautiful architectural harmony. Particularly, This Boutique Hotel, Yeng Keng Hotel, with Lotuses and Dragons carved in The Sky. A Small very clean and well maintained 19th century hotel. The rooms are designed in Victorian Style. There is garden in the front of the hotel where you can have coffee and a small swimming pool in the back with carved Chinese paintings. You will like it, even if it is just a visit to have a cup of coffee. The Georgetown neighbourhood is very interesting with many hisotrical old buildings in Western and Oriental styles. Some have been renovated white washed cleaned. There are many small Buddhist Temples around town, also incredibly beautiful museums of "Peranakkan Chinese" (Chinese Descendants). Well adorned with intricate wooden carvings, paintings and old photos. Georgetown, Penang is really Pearl of Asia, worth visiting and enjoying, where Dragon and Phoenix are still dancing in harmony.

The building has a great sense of past times, the staff make you feel right at home. Rooms are clean and very nice decorated, but a bit small. The breakfast was amazing, with local specialties like Nasi Lemak and Roti Canei, very tasteful! A relaxing drink in the courtyard and a quick dip in the small pool renew your energy.

The hotel is right at the bustling and busy Chulia street, near the main attractions. At night there are a lot of hawker stalls in the neighborhood.

Have just returned from a 7 night stay in the hotel and can only say what a gem. We booked after reading other reviews and were not disappointed. Location is perfect, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was a refreshing change from the standard hotel offerings. So the rooms were a bit small but with Georgetown to explore who is going to spend time in the hotel. The pool was small but big enough to cool down in after a day's exploring.

Georgetown was a delight. Eating on the streets was amazing, such good quality and such low prices. The fresh fruit juices were fantastic, the people so friendly and best of all, no hassle from the traders.

Agree with other reviews that is a good choice. Amazing to walk down a busy street and find the hotel is situated here. While the room we had, 2 singles, courtyard view was small, it still was well appointed. The pool was similarly small, but pleasant to sunbathe by, however if a number of people had the same idea, well there would not be the room. That being said, it would not put me off coming back. Simple touches like free fruit and iced water, welcoming and helpful staff, and good location to explore being among the reasons why.
