“a good mixture of the old and the new”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

We stayed in Hotel Penaga for a day in February. Wished we had the time to stay longer since the hotel is really a gem. We stayed in one of the Hutton suite with balcony and were delighted with the mixture of antiques and modern amenities. They had the minibar stocked for free, not much items but it was a nice gesture. The room was spacious with the beds situated on the loft. My only problem was the stairs were a bit slippery and I nearly slipped twice. The hotel itself is filled with eclectic artworks by local artists and really nicely furnished and maintained. The staffs were trained well and really courteous. Nice small luxury hotel that I will definitely visit again.

“Architectural marvel !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

Great architectural makeoveR! service was great though, friendly staff and very helpful. However, food doesn't justify the aforesaid marvel :) Recommended for those who need to disappear from the busty city.

“So nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Great spacious suite and the friendliest staff who arranged a really nice bicycle tour for us.
There is a nice garden with small lap pool for chilling out. Georgetown is worth visiting for a day or two and the Penaga hotel is the perfect place to stay.

“Magic family base”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013 via mobile

We stayed in a two bedroom terrace house with our teenage daughters; a wonderful place to stretch out and get a feeling for life in old Georgetown. Great artworks and furniture, beautiful bathrooms, very friendly and informative staff (definitely ask for restaurant recommendations).

Stayed December 2012, traveled with family
