Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. We loved the atmosphere, the staff, the building, the room, the food, basically everything! :) we also traveled with our 1.5 year-old toddler and they also had lots of toys which was a huge success! Also, when we had to leave early to catch our flight, they packed our breakfast, which was very helpful! Thank you again for the amazing experience! :)

Housed in a Chinese courtyard-style mansion, The Blue Mansion offers boutique accommodation tastefully furnished with antique fittings. Featuring a library and free parking, it is located within Georgetown’s UNESCO district.

Individually designed rooms are fitted with classic wood furnishings and air conditioning. They have a safe, hairdryer and tea/coffee maker. They did a fantastic job of restoring the Blue Mansion. The entire property is gorgeous. Our room was clean and spacious with a comfortable King bed, and well appointed period furnishings. It felt so special to be in such a historic place and the staff were friendly and helpful. They served breakfast in the courtyard with made to order offerings (the pancake with salted coconut and burnt sugar sauce was excellent). We also loved listening to the guzheng performance in the courtyard during the evening. The only regret was we managed to only book one night(it was fully booked).

Situated in George Town, 2.3 km from Northam Beach and 500 metres from 1st Avenue Penang, My Guesthouse 109 - SELF CHECK IN features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, free bikes and a shared lounge. It is located less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar and offers private check-in and check-out. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. Very nice accomodation, very clean room with clean shared bathrooms, and there are so many sweet cats! The location is also perfect, in the middle of George Town. The host and landlady are very kind too, for examplehelping us in the middle of the night when we locked ourselves out of our room. Have I mentioned the cats already? They are the real reason you should book, you wíll lose time visiting Penang by petting them instead ;)

Set in a restored private mansion, East Indies Mansion is located in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town. Inspired by Chinese shophouses, the property features a large courtyard and classic wall ornaments. Free WiFi is accessible throughout. Loved the location, close to beach street and little India. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. The room was very spacious with 4 double beds, more than enough for a family of 4. Even though its location, very central, the rooms are very quiet. I really love the friendliness of the staff. They gave lots of suggestions on where to go or where to eat. Loved the little local desserts every night brought to our room. Even though there are lots of plants around the mansion, there were no mosquitos. ( And I get bitten very easily). The check-in was also very fast. I would definitely return next time we visit George town.

Located in the capital city of Penang, Seven Terraces is only within a 5-minute walk to the significant Goddess of Mercy Temple and the popular Penang Peranakan Mansion.

The property is just a 10-minute walk from Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Penang Museum and the large Chinese clan house of Khoo Kongsi. Penang International Airport is a convenient 30-minute drive away. We loved being in a beautiful collection of Peranakan objects. The room was spacious and delightful. A knockout place to stay for its uniqueness.
