We stayed in Straits Collection for two nights in November 2011. It was really nice to stay somewhere which was a little quirky and not like all the "chain" hotels. The staff were really friendly and recommended some nice places to eat. The cafe & restaurant owed by the same owners as Straits Collection is out-of-this world. The variety of... More

It was extremely easy to make a booking, just drop them a mail and someone will get in touch with you almost immediately. As we were flying into Penang island, Manager Prakaash arranged pick-up service for us as well. It's RM40 from the airport to the Boutique Hotel. We stayed in unit 89, mainly because my mother had knee issues... More

We arrived to stay here after choosing based on Trip Advisor reviews and wanting a 'local' experience. The first impressions were good, and as expected based on the reviews. There were mosquitoes and we had emailed previously to ask and they said they did get them from time to time...I imagine they have them most of the time! They do... More

We read about this place a year or so ago. For 13 of us (Friends) - this was going to be a beautiful little place to stay while we were on our Penang adventure. We booked our rooms via the website - and the staff there were so helpful in allocated our rooms based on our requirements when we booked.... More

Stayed 2 nights at number 91. This place has character. The facade was typical Chinese shophouse but inside was a different world altogether. You had to climb a steep and narrow staircase to the 2 bedrooms upstairs. The bedrooms had timber floors and ceilings with comfortable beds. We slept well each night and had no trouble with mosquitoes. A copy... More

We stayed at 93 Armenian Street, which was a lovely and quaint heritage building, with funky colourful furnishings. Although it's located in an industrial sort of area, this isn't too bad, as it's not too far to walk to get to the Chinese and Indian quarters, and some of the shopping streets and hawker stalls. One disappointment was the rather... More

We stayed at 95 Armenian Street. It has 2 bedrooms upstairs, and 3 living spaces downstairs - a sitting room with the TV, a kitchen area with a picnic table, and a lovely courtyard at the back. Note - the spaces are much smaller than through the wide angle lens on the website! Pros: - Great design - Central location... More

I really wanted to give this a better score. The properties are absolutely stunning; we stayed in 95 which was just enormous for 2 people. However a few things could have been better, most of which are in the control of the owners: 1. The house is completely open to the outside, so there is no escaping the Mosquitos. Plenty... More

I was thrilled with this experience -- right in the middle of the core of the World Heritage Site, a very walkable neighourhood with the hustle and bustle of people working and living with vacation guests across the street. I had booked #89 but was upgraded to #91 and was pleased -- I was with 2 friends and I don't... More
