“Not much to see”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

It's one of the oldest buildings in Georgetown, built in the early 19th century for the Arab settlers so some history there but I am afraid it is not something you should go out of your way to see if staying in Georgetown for just a short time. You could easily walk past it without even noticing it. It does make for a photo stop though and it is interesting to compare with old photos of hte mosque with the local community all standing in front for a group shot. It doesn't take long to see all there is to see,and here are more impressive mosques around.

“Interesting Ambiance”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

The architecture of this mosque is unique & interesting.Minaret is of Chinese pagoda type which explains the Chinese influence.Its a complex of mosque,the graveyard and some old houses of the yore.Overall,its a quite,peaceful place without any annoying guardians of the mosque who chase you at Kapitan Keling mosque and try to convert you to Islam!

“First Mosque in Penang”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

That's it! It's old. But nothing that great about this particular place. In fact, I would rather go to Kapitan Keling Mosque which is just stone throw away and skip this one.
