Gorgeous hotel. Beautifully refurbished old Chinese shop houses. Very specious, rustic furniture, updated and clean washrooms! Perfect location, in heritage zone of the city and close to restaurants and cafes. Loved it. We stayed 4 days!

Refinement assured in the woodwork, the pearly furniture, the frames and old photographs of Chinese clan houses. Care has been taken in the decoration to rehabilitate this charming house. A beautiful room with no neighbors above or below, a fridge, great wifi, air conditioning, exquisite tiling in the shower...in short, it's a change from uniform standardized hotels. Classic breakfast, in short we loved it, but no elevator.

The location gives one easy access to many iconic places in Georgetown, so you could base yourself here if you plan to move around the city. In terms of infrastructure, the building is aging and some things are either falling apart, or need closer attention. The floor trap in the toilet was stuck, while the handle of the door to my room was coming loose, but I am surprised I had to flag them to the management before things were fixed. Housekeeping should have spotted such issues during routine maintenance. The internet was also ridiculously erratic and slow. Connection dropped ever so often that surfing became a chore. Customers do expect facilities to be “well oiled” at least

Too expensive for the wifi services do not work in the room except for one device the woman at reception will never want to give us the codes, she will do it on one phone. Only one nightstand, no bedside lamp but a floor lamp that only hangs on by a thread, tiny bathroom trash can, they had to buy the cheapest ones. TV not in the sense of ridiculous bed! They want to make money, the rest they don't care. The staff is very friendly, I wouldn't say the same thing about the premeditation of the reception. You can find better

Very carefully renovated small hotel in a central location. The reception is very warm. The rooms are uniquely antique and furnished with great attention to detail. The ground floor in the main building is like a large historic living room. Overall a unique experience. Breakfast unfortunately only from 8.00 am and only fixed expenses to choose from. On the day of departure there was breakfast box: an apple, a croissant and a water: this is not a guest service.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Muntri Mews. This hotel has been created with cultural sensitivity, attention to detail, and much love. The restorations, some parts to a museum-like quality, capture a delightful memory & spirit of gracious Peranakan living. The elegant decor of the common spaces show off its magnificence in generous yet relaxed social spaces, lined with intricate artwork & artifacts. The staff welcomed us & served us with warmth & hospitality. At our departure, they even noted my recent birthday and honored me with a little celebration, in true Peranakan hospitality!
The different room offerings gave us options. Our (detached) shophouse unit was more casual, and the price more suited to our budget. The simplicity & ease of our Loft Room with open plan layout was perfect for our gathering of friends. Fresh clean bedding juxtaposed against the older floorboards & wood shutters gave it a quaint, old-world character which I liked. The abundance of gathering spaces outside our rooms, reflective of a typical Peranakan home, makes this a good family or group vacation destination. We are already thinking of gathering more friends for our next trip here!
We came to Penang to experience the heritage of this wonderful city. Muntri Mews is centrally located in the heart of Georgetown, walkable and close to restaurants & shops. Much like the city itself, where many parts still remain old & unrestored, I feel it is wonderful to see this collection of buildings of Muntri Mews given a second life, true to its history & heritage.
My experience at the Mews was delightful & memorable.

Well if you want to stay in a heritage hotel, then definitely book it, rooms are huge and have everything what will be required for a good stay.
However on our last day, cafe was busy and have no one to help the server who was handling the fully occupied restaurant during breakfast.
Also, the portion for inclusive breakfast was very minimalistic.
I hope management can work to enhance the experience as this property is meant for a great experience for thier guests

The spacious Loft with 3 king beds was perfect for our family of 5.
You feel as if being transported back to centuries past within these walls. Beautifully done, thoughtfully preserved. Yet, modern enough to give you maximum comfort. The lounge, room and especially the bathrooms were super clean. The bed had just the right hardness for a peaceful sleep.
The food in Mews Cafe was delicious and you will be spoilt for choice in Lebuh Muntri as well as the adjacent Love Lane that had so many fancy eateries and bars to hang out in. Even the famous Original Nasi Kandar Line Clear is only a 7-minute walk away.
The staff at Muntri Mews were friendly and helpful. Everyone was pretty quick to respond from the point of reservation months before your stay to check-out.
A point to note though, the Loft had many steps that were quite steep, so this may not be the best choice for families with young children or aged members or those with mobility issues.
Will definitely go back to Muntri Mews, or any of their sister hotels. Keep up the good work!
