You will not regret your stay here, I promise. One of the best boutique hotels I've ever stayed at, with great attention to detail, personal touches, and added perks. Personal touches like having a "Bath Butler" service where they draw you a bath with your preferred scents and set up the room/bathroom and leave you treats to enjoy a perfect before bedtime bath, curated snacks and drinks that are complimentary, the way they take a delivery order - if you order food delivery - and prepare it nicely with plates, silverware, bowls, and then serve to your room - all of it makes for a comforting and indulgent stay. The decor is classy, elegant, with gorgeous design elements (you'll die over the elevator and the bathroom, trust me). And you can't beat the location on one of the most

We stayed in the Rodin suite, which is just perfect for a girls trip between best friends. Thoughtful entertainment system with Amazon Prime, Netflix and Spotify, Aesop amenities and a bath butler service makes it easier to spend the afternoon indoors while the sun glares. When you do decide to venture outdoors, everythings just a stone's throw away, from the murals to the cafes to the Chew Jetty - the address is perfect for explorers. The hotel manager would be happy to tell you where to have the best oyster omelette in Penang if you ask, but be sure to dine in the hotel's Copper restaurant at least once. At night, when the streets become quiet, a cocktail at Copper's bar (which is theTop 4 bar of the year in Penang, btw) is perfect.

I stayed at 88 Armenian during the Georgetown Literary Festival 2019. This hotel allowed me to work, entertain, and reflect on many things. Well worth the price - the staff felt like family! I've stayed in many hotels for work and pleasure - 6 star to airbnbs - but 88 tops them all.

We stayed one lovely night at this new boutique hotel at the suggestion of the General Manager as this is the sister hotel to Noordin Mews. This chic and urbane hotel in the midst of the historic quarter is a breath of fresh air. With a focus on modern amenities and a more exclusive and western bent, it is an ideal location to discover Georgetown. Even though busy during the day with tourist this lovely spot is quiet and romantic at night. Attention to detail including exclusive amenities, in room tablets, a Nespresso machine, excellent treats and a fantastic morning breakfast made our stay very comfortable. We did not try the bath menu and certainly will at our next visit. However, what sets this place apart is the restaurant on the main floor. It comes equipped with a

The 88 Armenian is an exceptional premise located right in Armenian Street - the heart and soul of the wonderful Georgetown UNESCO World Heritage Zone. It combines history and modern days impressively by putting minimalistically designed and most progressively equipped rooms in a historic building. The design met our taste perfectly and we enjoyed the shower, the bath tub, the beautiful Aesop amenities and the general decor very much. Also, the complimentary minibar and Nespresso capsules for the coffee machine were reliably refilled every day. Unfortunately, the lighting system was not all thought-through so the room was illuminated by the light-steering unit and by the aisle light that fell through the gap under the entrance door. This gap also resulted in insufficient sound

We loved our stay at 88 Armenian. Only 6 rooms truly made for a boutique experience. The rooms are contemporary and beautiful but what really stood out was the level of service. Top-notch! Three highlights here: 1. A bath butler! 2. Excellent restaurant & Bar and 3. Location, location, location.

I enjoy very much of my stay at 88 Armenian. Comfortable, cozy, modern & luxury experiences to stay in 88 Armenian. Hotel staff are efficient and friendly. I love the butler bath service. The amenities and toiletries were superb. The location of the hotel is excellent with walking distance to eating outlet, heritage buildings and art street. Highly recommend to friends and industry friends.

In the tourist bustle of Georgetown, it was lovely to discover a haven of tranquility within the walls of this charming boutique hotel. Modern and classy, the rooms are spacious and well furnished. Love the big bathroom with classic fittings and the high end toiletries! Service of staff in particular was superb - attentive and knowledgeable. Don't start the day withoit breakfast as the breakfast menu is exquisite and super tasty. The choices are lovely. Location is also superb, being within walking distance to shops, cafes, tourist spots.
