We arrived just before 3.30 pm and was advised the guided tour is sold out. Not wanting to wait till 4.30 pm for the audio tour, we took the option of a high tea for 2 there. The high tea was good and allowed us the option of exploring the beautiful interiors of the Blue Mansion at our own pace. The hotel section was out of bounds. Relative to the Peranakan Mansion which is a lot bigger and visually more captivating, the same entrance fee ( with guided tour) at 25 myr per pax appeared high here. The high tea is reasonable at 88 myr for 2 pax ( Mon-Thurs) .

Thank you for Faizah who was so amazing and helpful! She was super kind and accommodating and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

This was my 2nd visit to the Blue Mansion after 20 years. The property is well maintained, organized and managed. The ticket fee is 25 myr. The most unforgettable experience of this visit was its staff, Selva. I approached Selva with a simple enquiry. To my surprise, he gave me a full story of the Blue Mansion, more than what I expected. He is articulate, possesses in-depth knowledge, cheerful and helpful. I felt his passion and his pride in his work. He was able to answer all of my detailed questions such as how QI in Feng Shui was implemented in the design of the mansion, I sincerely appreciate him taking the time and effort to explain to me about the history and interesting stories of the Blue Mansion I'd also suggest to have lunch at the Indigo fine dining restaurant located in the first floor of the mansion. After lunch, you could visit the premise without paying the ticket fee. We went there this early March, the 3 course lunch set was at a great bargain price of 95myr per person. There's also a bar and a gift store on the ground floor. Unlike before, tourists now are not allowed to step into the hotel room area. If I'd have known beforehand about this arrangement, I would highly likely stay at the Blue Mansion Heritage Hotel.

The Blue Mansion is one of the more impressive old buildings in George Town. The blue wall is quite interesting for tourists; guided tour sounds pretty unappealing, though. It is still a functioning hotel so not many rooms are open to visitors. Everyone must download mobile application for information. With some better alternatives in the fabulous city, I would go somewhere else.

What a beautiful property with a fascinating history. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the restoration and conservation of this unique house. How it is funded today to preserve its future. She was passionate and interesting. Really good value for money and a taste of Georgetown over the years. The blend of different cultures to create the Penang of today. Loved my tour

We took the audio guided tour. Of the two of us visiting, only one got the audio app to work. 25 MYR is very expensive compared to the content that was provided. The tour could be completed in roughly 15 minutes. Not much to see: entrance lobby, a hallway and a few rooms with basically nothing but info texts in them. Also entrance to many areas restricted to non-residents of the hotel. I would only recommend it to people who are very VERY enthusiastic about architecture. Would get two stars if it were more reasonably priced and if the app worked.

Excellence service from Mr Resty. He was patient, attentive to the needs of my elderly parents, and would go the extra mile to make all the necessary arrangements for our convenience. The food available at the hotel was good too, like nyonya curry laska, aglio olio - al dente spaghetti (from Mangga), prawn mee, dhal (breakfast), and the dining experience at Indigo was not to be missed. Overall experience was memorable.

My friends and I had a great time at the Blue Mansion. Selva was great, as he helped out while we were on a self guided tour, and gave us extra facts that were amazing! The hospitality was amazing and would definitely come again!

I must mention that Selva was a very helpful staff that assisted us in taking pictures from various angles at the Courtyard which really made up for the shortcomings of the visit. I have mixed feelings about the visit as the self guided tour was the same price as guided fyi (so you are better off booking the guided tour). The website did indicate that some parts of the mansion is beyond public visit (excld. in-house guest and visitors on tours) so not sure if this was an issue with the self guided tour. However, the visit of the mansion itself was a slight letdown as there weren't that many artefacts or areas to visit. The place gained much fame from a renowned movie and I was definitely expecting more from the tour.

The visit is totally overrated and not worth the 25 RM. There is nothing special to see and they sell a lot of tickets. Visit Pinang Peranakan Mansion and you see what you expecte from the mansion. There are only a few rooms to see. The best look is from the outside

The mansion was really nice to see. Welcoming staff too but what made the experience the best was Selva. He knew so much about that place and brought it back to life. His knowledge and character made the experience so much better. I advise if you go ask to get a tour from him. The peanut butter milkshake at the bar was also really delicious. All in all an amazing memory.

Beautiful experiance Best guided ever is Selva!! He give me a lot important information about the visit

The Blue Mansion is worth spending half-day to explore as you get to see a mix of Eastern and Western architecture of that time. With the history and background of the Cheong family, you could understand better on the design of the Mansion. After exploring the building, you should not miss the bar and restaurants in the Mansion. I was enjoying my lovely afternoon tea with my family at the bar. The atmosphere was excellent with great service by the staff. I would love to give special thanks to the staff Mr. Selva who had been very helpful and friendly serving my family and answering my inquiries. I enjoyed my visit to the Blue Mansion and would definitely recommend everyone to come.

Lovely tour of the Blue Mansion. Beautifully maintained property and lots of spots for great pics. I want to thank one of the members of the Blue Mansion team, Selva, for pointing out the nice places to take photos and for taking some lovely pics of my cousin and me. Made our visit more memorable.

The tour was informative and provided great context to the items in the museum. The house is beautiful with great preservation efforts, even though visitors can not see many parts of the building that are for hotel guests only. We appreciated Cumelle's passion for the history of the home and for Penang, and her inclusivity of talking about different cultures that influenced the museum
