Amazing building, and great location. The rooms are beautiful, with character. They don't have the upkeep of a premium hotel, bit then this isn't a premium hotel. It does what it says on the tin - colonial building at value for money prices. The owneris very hepful, rooms kept clean, bedding nice and comfy, bathrooms basic but good. Location is... More

The Segara Ninda is brilliant, we have 3 children so it is often difficult to find appropriate places to stay, it couldn't have been easier here. The Segara Ninda is full of character, the people working there are wonderful- kind & helpful. It is situated in a peaceful part of town but really close to all of the great streets... More

I have just spent 4 happy nights at 'Segara Ninda' and I enjoyed it very much. The manager (whose family owns this historic building) Mr Tengku Yahaya is extremely helpful and a terrific host. I would suggest it better to book a First floor room rather than a ground floor room and Room 205 on the 1st floor, with a... More

Nice place but not very clean. Usually there is nobody in reception so you have to leave a note to ask something. Be sure to inform exactly your check in time because you can arrive and find anyboby. It has tables and chairs outside so you can bring your own beer or meal to have in a peaceful place. There... More

I picked the Segara Ninda to stay for three nights in March 2012 on the basis of Lonely Planet recommending it as a 'midrange hotel'. It's not. It's a lovely heritage building, the manager is hugely helpful and very friendly, it's pretty cheap, and it is in a great location - on the doorstep of the night life, plus the... More

Segara Ninda is old colonial 19-century building in traditional Malay style. It once belonged to the late Ku Din Ku Meh or Tengku Baharudin bin Tengku Meh, a successful trader, distinguished governor and “Devoted King” of Setul, Thailand in the early 1900. Now Segara Ninda is a part of Penang heritage trail. We chosen this hotel for our three-day stay... More

The exterior of the building is very impressive but that is about the only god thing. The room we had was very cramped. A double bed shoved into a corner and and only 50cm space down one side. There was no place to hang clothes apart from on the floor. What furniture there was in the room looked like it... More

An amazing old colonial house (it is part of the city;s heritage trail). Really friendly family run place, with a small 'museum' room. We were taken aback by the hospitality when they invited us to a large family dinner in honour of the visiting Thai Consulate General!! Quite an uexpected extra for our visit! Room was really comfortable and quiet,... More

Firstly, the sign already says "home stay", so we were prepared for something simple. The house, of somewhat modern Malay design, is quite impressive. There are little touches & paraphernalia around the house that reflect its history & adds to its charm. There were areas, however, that could use a little extra dusting! We opted for a room on the...
